Thanks Howie... I decided on Saturday night that there would not be anymore spending on the '34 until 2009... should give you some time to catch up :ninja: 2009 looks pretty tame from where I'm sitting though: brakes, wheels, tints, and some paintwork...

Can anyone post some nice clean shots of the origional R34 subframes? I seem to remember there were some very nice high resolution photo's floating around of a R34 GTR drivetrain sitting in a showroom (complete with tyres etc), I need to cad up the stock suspension for a project and getting high resolution photo's of the subframes with everything in them un-racespecced is proving hard, all else fails if anyone has some high resolution photo's of the subframes themselves (must be the GTR frames) that would also be awesome.

OK, rushed out after work to get a couple of photos... excuse the shoddy photo work :P

Thanks for lookin'

Is that a bulge in your bonnet Stan or are you just happy to see me?

Ganador mirrors look sick too mate :yes: I want em bad.

Hehe... you're lucky I live just up the road else I wouldn't have been assed to drive out after work :P

Still need to sort that "bulge" out, it's a dead giveaway that there's something big hiding in the bay :yes:

ohh i like it nice touch was that ur idea? (black part-never seen it done before). should be able to custom fit a bonnet depending on what u like, cant go somethin too over the top with aggressive styles, then u might need to get a kit for the rest of the car..hmm i duno see if u can get anyone to do some photoshop work for ya and u can get a better idea.

i want ur engine btw looks sexy and dangerous. peace!

Never been a fan of OTT kits... so yes, the new bonnet (whatever it will be) will be subtle and functional. Thinking about just getting an OEM copy bonnet in CF or FRP, take it to a body shop, have them cut the entire middle section out and mould in a higher centre "rise" to clear the engine.

Mould in a NACA duct above the high mount turbo / dump pipe area and we're done :)

PS: thanks for the kind words all, feel free to check out some of my videos on Youtube... another update will be added there after Wednesday's efforts at the dyno room.

thats tops bakes... yeh except for the chick.. a) i cant believe you let her near it.. and b) she really doesnt do anything for the photo... your car doesnt need add ons.

top work.

my gf is right into photography.. might have to team up when my 32 is photographable and find some good spots around newy.. shes got a really good camera and loves taking those fancy atrsy photos. i found one spot on monday night that is really good, had too much traffic though to pull up and look at the lighting conditions, etc.

lols looks awesome satanic. i reckon the bonnet looks good like that. raised bonnet, track look. reduce heat by releasing it out.

anyways muck around with the coils yesterday just to see how stupidly they can possibly go. rears dont sit much lower than my nismo's, a finger gap on 18's. but the fronts are current on half in these pics. pretty weird design allowing fronts to be at that height with only halfway, and rears not being low at all on full.

    • 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 馃槀 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.
