Hey boys and girls, so stupid thing to be saying but I only just noticed I’m missing a belt, which is it, why does my car still run without it, it’s in the pic.

is there a pulley kit to replace the things the belts run on?

my headlights have what bulbs to use, I’m assuming I can just buy the ones at super cheap nothing has to be special about them, they will fit?

when I go from park to reverse or into auto there is a shift in my car and sometimes a cluck, i saw on chrisfix that it might be the uni joints, can I replace those without replacing the whole ?tail shaft?

and lastly someone before me has use like a liquid glue to stick the side skirt on, looks like polyurethane maybe, any ideas to get this off?

Ever wondered why your air-con doesn't work?

And no, you cannot service your tailshaft yourself. Take it to a mechanic, or a drive specialist like Hardie-Spicer.

Ahah yes I have, as I thought it might of been that.

alright thanks I’ll do that then

if you see the markings above the yellow sticker, it says D2R 35W

I don't think Supercheap stock them, but you can check.

Or get two of these

lol

the funny thing is, someone went to the trouble of putting it on and tensioning it.  Perhaps it did actually work (a little, at first)

You just need the right belt and that will be sorted, the globes, yes just buy some D2Rs (more recent ones are compatible so no issue there)

Re the clunk....best to get a mechanic to look at it. There are about a million (OK, 10) places between the transmission and the tyre that could clunk, no point just guess it is a tailshaft.

    • 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.
