Anyone who has a angle-mounted intercooler has to be a pretty keen drift fan. And it looks from the state of the seat that it has been used in that way for quite a few years, and often.

I think you're all being just a little harsh, someone has spent a lot of money on that car (V mount set-ups aint cheap), but yes it's obviously been driven very hard that doesn't mean it's crap or hasn't been looked after though. It's great how you guys (looks at siksII here)can make such judgements on cars from another country, without seeing it in the flesh, or driving it. BTW I'm not saying it's a great car, I'm just saying I'd reserve judment on it untill I'd either had someone inspect it for me, or driven it myself. So hard to judge from a couple of pics and a few line of description.

pft kids.. i could slap a $1000 paint job on a completely ****ed skyline, some nice rims, clean up the engine bay and you'd all say it was "oh wow".. that was till the engine or gearbox blew a few weeks later. And yet my 20 year old daily that is 20 years old, does look like a piece of crap, and i bought for next to nothing gets thrashed everyday and is reliable as rocks. So there is no definitive way to tell unless you actually take it for a drive or get a mechanical inspection.

There are two possible reasons why somebody sells a car like that:

a) They know something you won't until its too late

B) They simply got bored of it, or want the cash. Then generally a local buyer would have bought it i'd imagine.

Anyway, who knows.. who cares!

It depends what you want the car for. If you want a drift car, its probably great. If you want a daily driven street car, I would be very careful.

Personally I wouldn't touch it, but I don't want a drift car.

Edit: Oh, and replacing the RB with the SR makes quite a bit of sense for drift.

true statement :)

it all about what ur going to use the car for

but it sure isnt an everyday drive.. :mad: it doesnt even have a radio :D

i would only buy this car if i was a huge drift fan, but still would have second thoughts cause of its history

it would be intresting to see how this car will preform on the track and its power/weight ratio

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
