Some guy was taking a photo of the 32 in the carpark.

Its a nice compliment.

Also the auto elec said its unique now and less of a target for thieves. Because its easily recognized.

People say it looks great, then i say its a backyard job, so they step closer and have a look, and say its still good for a backyard job.

(most people are very nice and dont point out the fk ups) :blush::D

Some people appreciate the fact i gave it a go more than how it turned out.

I think thats part of the Aussie psyche; "Have a go mate".

Duncan could you link me to SydneyKids suspension kit you were talking of.

Rosie dont forget about adaptronic theyre cheap for a new standalone ECU. If your going to go for more down the track save your money and pay once. Pile up everything and go for a tune once if its possible.

gtr or gtt? gtt is here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/88141-r34-gtt-bilstein-whiteline-suspension/page-15?hl=%2Bsydneykid#entry4203328. I'm sure he can also sort GTR stuff if that's what you need.

Gary is a suspension engineer with specific experience racing skylines. I've got his stuff in my stagea and race gtr and in both cases they are awesome for the price....

Who is the only guy who does Nistunes in ACT? Might give him a call and see what we can do.

Also, what would be needed for like a smoother/better mid range RPM? Nistune + ? + tune?

Only choice is Ed at Autotech in hume.

He did mine and got 245rwkw with Nistune

will need a few extra bits (like injectors + Fuel Pump)

Quoted from page 476. ^^^

Nistune + TUNE. It's all in the Tune. :whistling:

May need a replacement Fuel Pump too.

Oh, I thought Nistune was the chip thingy that is put on the stock ECU. Might just call him and see what he recommends for a basic 200-210kW. Not sure how much I'm willing to spend. Maybe max of $1,500 since plans have changed :'(

its possible but there will be a lot of shortcuts the install and tune of a Nistune is $1200 as of 14months ago when i did it with Ed. Small things like AFM, dump pipe Defs need a z32 AFM. You could probably do 210 with stock dump. Not sure about injectors but mine couldnt be safely pushed past 194kws at 14psi

Honestly i wouldn't even bother with that budget. Save up till you can afford a hypergear turbo do it properly.

It's either SAFC or Nistune. Don't want to chase power :'(. Well, I do but I cannot justify it. I just want a bit more than what I currently have. Rosie is a stepping stone, don't want to go all out yet.

I'll just give them a buzz tomorrow and see what they can offer and what I can afford.

    • 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.
