Rez's R32 GTS-t Type M... presentable version!


Recommended Posts

Rezz - what are the offset number plate brackets worth, and who makes them?

I busted a bolt that holds the bracket to the centre support rail when taking the plate off for track day yesterday :P and that offset looks like a good solution... and where does it bolt to?

Rezz - what are the offset number plate brackets worth, and who makes them?

The bracket was about 2,000 yen (?) from SuperAutobacs (Ikeri's place :)) but I'm not sure who makes them... some generic company who gets their gear made offshore (China). It bolts to the bumper directly... just used self tappers to screw into the bumper from below.

You could knock up some stainless brackets at a steel fabrication place for about $5 though right? (DIY ;))

ronin, ask bass junky to make one up for you, he's a sheet metal fabricator.

failing that get a vice, pop down to bunning and get a piece of sheet metal and just bend it n drill it. real easy to do, and yeah as rezzeh said, get some self tappers to go in the bttom, or for more security, drill a hole in the bumper and put a bolt thru and a nut on the other side.

Thanks Rezz, was actually thinking of bending two pieces of aluminium strap and bolting them in... but I am a lazy bastard so will probably run around without a plate until the police get angry :D

Grand total? A$8,950... including car...

:looney:

hey rezz just wondering about what you did with the holes left over from the stock rear spoiler? does that mini back spoiler cover them?? i wouldnt think so but...
I went to Kounan (or some generic lifestyle/hardware center) and bought these little rubber round thingies that popped straight into the holes in the boot... instant fix. Troy knows what I'm talking about.

The Nismo rear spoiler doesn't cover any of the holes in the boot though, I just painted the round rubber things body colour, thats it.

that colour coding with the wheels and the bomex lip is horn.... :whip:

oh and what are the intercooler kits over there worth? I found the blitz kits to be far more expensive than the Greddy items.. (atleast on the soarer platform) any idea why this is?

You mean grommets :P

hey Justin, great car mate! just found this thread. Very understated, yet very tough, i like it a lot! :D

and to Justin/Troy, would you guys be able to hook me up with some parts i've been trying to get, but proving very difficult? I'd pay you guys a little somethin', somethin', and up front too, but i thought i'd ask first, and then go into detail (via PM) if it's possible. I can put some stuff on a container that i know of.

cheers!

    • 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.
