Its ready to go. Heatgun also available.

Do you mind giving me a hand this weekend Mik?

I have never used one, normally I just smash at it with a hammer.

Plus the heatgun isn't needed lol, I already cracked the paint in the guards with said hammer :/

Let's just say I'm used to having a rat bag R33 haha and I man handled my nice 34 :(

>_< Oh i hate how that happens, being careful then... some sht goes wrong and theres a great big scratch.

Im so used to doing things the easy way too, its a totally different approach to do things with insurance.

The only insurances i use are chassis stands and have a fire extinguisher handy. :laugh:

Dunno how they compare, (the rb20 box and the 34 box), but i can outshift my box with the standard length shifter.

Basically you can shift faster than the synchros can handle and you get a little crunch.

If r 34 is the same then theres really no point getting a short shifter.

You can try it and see, also search the forums, thats how i found out about it.

Has anybody moved house recently? I'm not sure how the electricity works lol.... I left it on at my old place so the new people wouldn't be without electricity (it was left on for us in this place, so I figured I'd do the same), but it's now been a couple of weeks so I just did the online thing to get the final reading and close my account.

Do I just assume that the new people have had the smarts and opened an account by now?

Did you sell or are you renting?

If renting it out. Courtesy - Let them know what you did :thumbsup:

Unless you left instructions about Gas, Electricty, Phone)

If sold. Not an issue they should have advised the utilities peeps.

Be annoying if you came home to find no power.

It's rented out. Yeah I wondered if I should get my Property Manager to let them know. I just figured that it's been a couple of weeks so surely they would have sorted out their choice of energy provider by now.

Just wasn't sure how it all worked! The last time I rented, I think we rang up a few days beforehand so that it was connected by the time we moved in. If you didn't do that, tough shit!

Arhh okay, that makes sense. I was changing faster than the synchros from 4-5 and sometimes 3-4th as John explained to me yesterday. I original thought it was a clutch issue. So, I may avoid the short shifter. A friend of mind recommended it. Thanks Mik

The Property manager should be doing this stuff

Whatchu paying then for if they're not taken care of you :)

All good, I asked him and he said that yes, they've had it in their name since the beginning of the lease :)

    • 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.
