This is for those of us that attended the LS1/Skyline dyno day, & saw/heard Martin's Soarer make 281rwkw on stock turbos.

I can confirm that they are/were indeed stock unmodified CT12A's (well the one I played with was).

More amazing is that the turbo I had a look @ was in pretty damn good condition, considering it would've had a hard life!

I still can't believe how well they held up to 3.0bar of boost on the dyno day (ok so I made that bit up :P)

Martin,

Liked the story in HPI this month. Was spun out by the difference the new pipework made on the twin.

Quick question: Why is HPI so damn expensive and so thin?

Didn't renew my Hot4's subscription, no matter how many shirts and vids they tried to feed me but christ....9 bux?

i know...i'm cheap...

The way its going there will be no genuine HRT 427, which means I wont be having one. That saves me from the biggest personal loan known to mankind!

Good news on the Soarer is that it makes 322rwkw at 1.3 bar with its new turbo. Cant wait for the next dyno day! Its sort of a Skyline now too, as it has R34 GTR rims.

Martin, how does it launch now? Can you still compete in the traffic light 0-100??

I ran a black 33 the other night (i think it had silver/grey Zeni Tani sticker on side) and i killed him 0-100 off the line, then i back off-we're in a 60 zone- and then he comes screaming past (had an external gate or screamer pipe, which by the way i didnt think sounded very nice!)

What do you guys think of these cars with massive peak power, but that cant give a decent run off the line?? I dont see that as being very fun!

That said, i have 200rwkw, but need a few extra! Had trouble holding off a pack of 180's last night on anzac, and those buggers were launching awesome too!

Martin, also, can i get you to tune my car through tilbrooks? Do i just ring up and say i want you to do it?? And can i get a dump pipe of same design as your soarer ones on the TT setup? -i still have the cast factory dump.

gimme a price and ill be there, 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.
