yea i cant wait to take it for a spin

im like a little kid who needs to chuk a piss to hop back into a turbo car again! :) haha

its been 2 long ive forgottn what its like!

yea i was going to strip the paint on the plenum and get the rocker cover painted metallic blue when the engine is sorted :)

i just gota fork out money now to get sum stainless cooler piping made up

Congratz dude cant wait to see car driving again. If you dont mind me asking how much you payed and where you got it from im interested just to compare. Took my car to R31 vs RICE dyno comp today was good to see her in action again. Dont get licence for 9 more days but had a freind drive it first time since i've fixed it it's really been driven was good to sit as a passenger even :)

Boost feels good again.

I got it from a place i found searching thru google called tweakit

www.tweakit.net

i payed 7k deliverd and i must admit so far everything with them was awsome

just gota make sure the engine runs fine now!

but i got it within a week after paying, it came in a big packd nicely with EVERYTHING including all the under dash wiring from the car.. i wont need it but yeh.

Nice guys, they return your phone calls too :)

oh man oh man that looks so damn good and for 7K delivered???? they are that cheap?? how much to install??

i'm wondering now is it possible to replace my RB25DET with an RB26 but couldn't justify if it is like $7K to install so might aswell sell my R33 and buy a R32 GTR

haha

im starting my Fly in fly out work with WMC shortly so im not even gona be here to finish up my own engine just yet :)

Its not to bad to install you just have to pull alot of crap out and remember where it goes!

The only things that i can see that i need to get done professionaly are get the gtr sump modded and modify the exhaust. The wiring im not to sure about yet but i doubt that will be hard

It took me a good day to pull the engine out - ive never done anything like it before so yea it took me a bit.

Hi driver,

Firstly i would like to congratulate you for finding such a fine looking engine. Looks darn new to me man. Anyway, u paid 7k for it rite?.....what does it include....engine, gearbox, ecu, wiring looms and freight?

Regards

hey man, yeah thats whut he stated in the post.. so that means in ringgit will be RM21k but then you would have to ship it then pay cukai..

    • 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.
