Gday from WA

Gday guys. Not a skyline owner but a fan regardless.
Little intro about me. 34 years old, bit of a nerd. Love Astronomy and 4wding.

My current car is an imacualte Version VI STi

Last year I spent a lot of money on the old girl trying to modernise her performance.
I currently did the following

Engine:

- EJ207 SCD block
- Rehoned and cleaned, remachined.
- ACL Race bearings
- Nitto I beam forged rods
- Weisco forged pistons
- EJ257 nitrated crank (for 2.13L capacity stroker)
- ARP rod bolts and main bolts
- 04 WRX rebuilt heads with shimless oversizded valves
- Kelford 272 camshafts
- OEM Subaru MLS Gaskets
- Kelford springs and retainers
- Lots of head porting
- DW 1000cc injectors and DW billet fuel rails
- ARP 625 aged headstuds
- ARP case bolts
- Vernier cam gears
- 11mm oil pump
- Blouch dominator 1.5XTR ball bearing turbo @ 22psi
- Process west (largest) TMIC
- Process west CAI
- Ultrex UEL headers, double ceramic coated and wrapped
- 3" ultrex up-pipe
- BPM 3" TBE
- Autronic SM4 ECU with antilag and rotational idle
- Ported inlet manifold
- upgraded fuel system with aftermarket regulator and braided lines
- 600HP fuel pump

Driveline

- 04 Long ratio STI six speed
- Thicker/stronger axles
- R180 rear diff
- 600HP organic clutch

Suspension
- Tein coil overs all round
- Pretty much the entire whiteline catalogue of suspension accessories.



I havnt got many performance figures yet but the car did run the following at the motorplex

Elapsed time:         11.628 sec
Terminal speed:     123.55 mph
60':                          1.785 sec

Theres more in it I just need to learn to shift these STI 6 speeds a bit quicker as I find them quite notchy and goofy.

I've always loved the looks of old gen STI and EVO. Nice looking car.

 

 Since I live in Canada I have no clue what WA is lol, but regardless of that, Welcome aboard!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
