My mate was after some cheap rims and he didnt want to buy brand newy's so i suggested to try an importer or parts shop. I told him kamikaza might have some spare stuff and he went over and picked up some schlick looking 18x10s Rays rims for his car.. Said the guy was real good to deal with.. Thats my 2c worth...

I bought my R33 from them and Im very happy with the car........but i'd never go back again. They have no clue whats going on, and they are also very dishonest.

After my first service, there was a rattle.. so i took the car back the next day, that afternoon i call them up.. "yes yes its all fixed".. I had heard from the people at the tinting shop next door my car had been in the driveway the entire day. Funnily when I got it back it still had the same rattle. 3 visits back it was all fixed!!!

Not to mention they helped themselves to my stock intercooler in the boot.... helped them selves as in stole.......

and they also "replaced" my brilliant windscreen wipers with some pieces of crap which dont actualy seem to wipe anything (kinda odd..).

My $850 new clutch I purchased from them also turned out to be worth about $300. I know places add on markup obviously but thats ridiculous.

anyways so to summarise :P stay clear of them. Its time all these dodgy places smarten up.

Also normaly I wouldnt be so mean publicaly :D but im just answering somebodies question (theres more as well, but the above should cover it for now) :)

i have been there a few times and the guys are very helpful, but i wouldnt trust the km on the cars personally, i have seen to many with 60,000 km which look like they have done 200,000km...

as long as you know what you are looking for you shouldnt have a problem....

ya im talking about the nunawading store.

Tint professor people were gr8 btw, they gave me great deal on tinting :D AND they kindly told me how my car hadnt been worked on all day (like kamakazee motors had told me) but instead sat in there driveway.

Oh btw, I got my car in december 2004.

A few weeks ago when I moved I told vicroads i changed my address, so i had to change my licence / car rego. Surprise surprise they hadnt bothered to tell vicroads it was now MY car.... 6 months on.

I think these days you could find a car waaaay cheaper if you bought it privately, seems most ppl get desperate to sell real quick.

The only advantage if you buy it through an importer is you get conned into buying the $$$$ warranty which doesnt actualy cover anything when your car brakes down :P

Tint professor might have good prices but there quality is not up to scratch.

Drove home with a few bubbles(spears). Managed to push a couple down but there was one obvious one that remained. Took it back and they had to do one whole window again. Drove home and the next day another spear appeared. I had to keep pushing it down every day until it totally dissappeared.

      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.
