When you work a car its always the same.. you get alot of power, then not long after you get bored of it. Its a never ending cycle which cost sh|tloads!

Track work sounds like the best way to go because being a street driven car Im sure most of the power is used to run in a straight line but hit the track and really take the car to its limits

Yes... also if you can, get someone good to drive it at a training day like a driving instructor (many of them are utter penii though) or racing driver to jump in the car and show you what it can do... you will be amazed. Though again, choose carefully.

Obviously I'm all in favour of you taking it to the track Chris as well.

Infact I have also promised you a drive in my car - just never had the chance to take you for a spin. Maybe I can take you for a passenger lap at a track day if you like?

But for me a great example of someone going to the track is ferni. When I first met ferni he was pretty crazy on the street. But at his first track day I think he quickly learnt a) How fast his car really is. B) How much he still had to learn to drive it properly and c) How doing those speeds on the track is a hell of a lot more sensible than on the streets after he did make some mistakes when trying to drive fast.

Doesn't matter what type of thing you do - whether its a club sprint, drifting, or something like an advanced driver training - get out somewhere and safely take you car to the limit and really enjoy the power you have. I can almost garantee at the end of it you will be thinking about how to best improve your handling, grip and stopping rather than your power as well.

I have gradually lost the fun of driving my skyline, and need some ideas to get it to kik me in the arse again. Most of you know my car has 250rwkw and right now i found that.. well... boring. I think it may be the fact that im used to it and it doesnt surprise me anymore. What are some cheap ways to squeeze power into it, keeping in mind that it has stock engine internals and is running a GT-2835

Chris try driving to work and back in peak hour traffic on the freeway known as the carpark everyday damn day of the week and not being able to get over 80km/h most of the way amd see how much fun it is, and when you get around 280 km/tank and have to fill up atleast twice a week!!!!!!

Thats y i am getting another car as a daily driver soon coz the line pisses me off driving to work!!

I have found there are not many places to use the power on the street unless you go out late at night to have a play!!!!

That is true, before my first track day I was looking for more rwkw, after a day at the track the direction turned to spending money on the handling side of things.

Track days are the best way of finding out how much more you need to learn about driving your car.

Yet another vote for spending the cash on track time.

Nitrous Kit. 75hp shot $900 fitted, ready to go. Unlike popular belief they don’t add wear and tear when used in small shots, and in moderation. And on the up side, you only use the extra power when you hit the button, so less strain on the motor, apposed to having the extra hp there all the time with bigger turbo for example.

That will teach you to buy such a powerful car at age 17/18. Lol!! You should have got a shit box to putt around in so you apprieciate the natural progression of owning betting cars.

I reckon if I had your car back when i got my licence I would be currently living at Fawkner Cemetry, not becasue I'm reckless but because it takes a few years to gradually learn how to drive properly and react to situations that happen on the road even if your the safest guy on earch.

If people say your 'crazy' its probably because you do stupid shit to make them think that and I'm sure having 250rwkw doesn't make the situation any better

If the turbo in ur car is infact a GT2835 (looked smaller) then just turn the boost up

for obvious reasons im sure even a blind and mute spastic can understand.... dont do this with ur stock internals and stock ECU... its already running plenty.

have it tuned with a PFC, get an oil cooler and go for a blat on the track :D dont want anything going bang so mak sure its tuned properly first

doubt he has a stock ecu and 250rwkw.

Obiviously added boost means retune and he still has another 50rwkw he can go before she goes bang

I have a stock ECU with a chip, and yes it is a 2835 as it was checked by benny from Chasers, ice performance had no clue (no surprise there).

im already running 17 pounds, dont think i want to push it any more. the reason my car is only running 250 kw is that it is resticted by the computer and the injectors so it cant even be tuned for that turbo well.

So yeah Ni i think ill just get the powerfc and oil cooler which will give me more power :D (when i can afford it lol) and then hit the trackkk

      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.
