Looks great Chris.

I agree with everyone else, the Japan pics didn't do it justice at all... I even like the way the wheels look on it, even though I'm not a fan of Chromies on a Jap car (unless they're on a VIP-style car like a Lexus LS400/Toyota Celsior). At least they're still kinda a "racing" style wheel.

Next time it rains, ill try to get some action shots of my Stagea. I wish someone else could learn to slide my car, so I could see it from outside :D

I'll volunteer for that Alex. But only if I use your car, not mine... :D Bring on a wet track or skidpan!

Oh yeah, see if you can get some more pics on a concreted area, it should give you (and us) a better idea of the ride height balance, although in my opinion (so far), it looks to be spot on! :D

That's pretty much exactly how I'd lower my car - just so the guards perfectly outline the curcumference of the wheels and tyres, if you get what I mean.

Yeah, Im pleased with the ride height :) Will take some more pics when I get some time...

Currently getting some quotes for a black respray :) Will let you know how I get on. I attempted to tune the TV yesterday...Went better than expected! Could get sound and a very blury picture, apparently I need an amplified ariel or somethng similar to tune it properly

Hey Guys,

Got the intercooler installed and the boost upped to 10 PSI...

Now, I have promised my mate I would have a run with him once I did those mods, he has an FTO GPX Manual. Capable of 0 - 100 in around 7 Flat. Question is, will the Stagea do 0 - 100 in 7 flat? :D

FTO.....

BAHha HAh HAhHAh AHhAhHAhHA AH HAHHAHHA hAhHAhHAHH AHHAH HAhH AhHAhHAhHAHAH HAhHAhHAHHAHahhHAhHAH AhHAhAHhAHh AhHAh hahHHAhahhaHHAhahHAHAaaaaa!!

Sorry, but FTO that does 0-100 in 7secs is good, but what a girly car to mod, meh each to their own, tee he he he.

Just got home after what you could call a f**king hard run. One problem though, by the end of the drive, the car basically lost all boost :D Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Temp gauge didnt say is was above aveage, but pop the hood and wow! was it hot! Just a problem of temp? Or something more serious?

Ok, here is a test.

Go cain the balls out of the car right, like you did the other night. Then, stick your hand in the intercooler intake hole (if looking front on the car, bottom right corner where fog light would be) and have a feel of the core, at the OUTPUT end. If the core is hot on that end, it was heatsoak.

I can FEEL massive difference on my intercooler intake and exit pipes, like, ones warm to touch, the others chilly to the touch.

But yes, above method.

BTW you could be getting R&R with the car on 10psi. I find my car is faster on 7psi then 10, so 7psi she stays :)

    • 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.
