:( hoping it is just a leaky hose.

Either way Plenum out all hoses replaced.

Temp always under half way today. Leaks when turned off, not while on

No oil in water or water in oil (yet!!, touch wood)

Richard, I noticed today that your Exhaust and mine are the same (Blitz Nur Spec), but I have my silencer bung in.

All I need to do now is build a Fat GTR around it and I'll have your car. ;) minus the leak of course.

Fingers crossed she's all sweet (And I'm sure she will be!!).

Mine was on other side of the motor. I too had hoped it was just a fluid line or worst case a welsch plug but no such luck as confirmed when we got her on the hoist.

Do you have aftermarket temp gauge? Bear in mind by the time the factory one moves you're usually well f**ked and it's too late.

my zorst has no bung in the bung hole :D

and yeah - I was worried it would either go off the dial. Either upwards or downwards.

I'm Just relying on the factory one at the moment which as you know is either half or full or zero.

Kept one eye on it for any movement today. My PFC used to monitor water temp but haven't got the Haltech doing this.

Will have to get one in the triple gauge or hook a pc upto Haltech

Yeah - when stuff goes bad on a GTR it's normally really BAD

The may lose green fluid, but it doesnt lose turbos........

Yeah kinda pee'd on me a bit lol looked a familiar colour after drinking a few too many V's..... Warm too...

I just wanted it to be anything other than what it was... Coming out a crack on the side of the block.

Oh well. She's all sweet now! But I never want that feeling again.

Im going to set up an output on my haltech (maybe tomorrow if i can be bothered lol) that will display a bright red led when water temp gets over say 90. will also use this once i get an oil pressure and oil temp senders for it too. Once light comes on, pull over or its gonna be expensive lol. Would only require 1 output as well, just have a few conditions set!

Wouldn't you think maybe to set it at a little higher say around 100... Water temp is generally higher that oil temp by up to 10 degrees, when I give mine the beans it gets to a little over 90...

Just a suggestion

Yeah on average my water temp on the PFC shows 70-75 (depending on hot weather) and on my oil temp gauge it reads 65 or so.... Either way you don't want either of them creeping too high because that spells disaster..

Here be just some of the horrors that lurk beneath the plenum. There are more attached up under the plenum itself..........

That's not my engine, but gives you some idea

Thanks JD.

Going to be something/anything in the red circles below.

Definately Plenum off :(

Good excuse to get my Nismo on - woot woot

holds an extra litre of air and feeds number 5/6 alot better

Anyone heading out to the Nats for a look?? I have a season pass so I'll be loitering around. Will likely be in Braddon on the Fri/Sat nights too.

I'm keen to head to the drive in on the Thurs but have no idea if that's just for entrants with cars. Anyone got any idea?

It's like on the main screen at the main stage or something. Cars that aren't entered can't drive in but I'm assuming you can sit on the grass or somewhere to watch it.

They are playing Cars and Running on Empty.

Surely there's external speakers right? lol

    • 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.
