Cheers Rezz Great minds think alike!

What I hate about the this new drift craze is how the American's have jumped onto the whole drift scene and the way they try to make it their own, like in HPI there is a photo of a "drift" Pontiac GTO (CV8 Monaro). Rubbish. The way HPI and Speed make it seem like this new thing when the Japanese have been doing it for years. Or the way HPI and Speed act like drift (apart from JGTC) is the only form of motorsport the Japanese do. They do a lot more than drift. When you read HPI's drift day articles they always have photos of "drift" Gemmi's and Commodores. I buy HPI to see Japanese cars not Holdens. Speed's drift article was pathetic, you need 30 grand to make a good drift car!! Bullsh*t. Dont get me wrong I enjoy watching/reading about drift but why cant the magazines show some other facets of Japanese motorsport?? Is it because drift is the flavour of the month, commercialised and sanitised for the masses of southern californian kids to give them something to do in their riced up Civics and 240SX's?? The newstands are full of flashy American drift/import mags and are a prime example of American excess and tastelessnes in how to build the "perfect" drift or street car. Americans try to hijack everything and claim it as their own and I am sick of having it shoved down my throat as the thing to do if you own an import. Plus the Americans should learn how to make good dvd's on Japanese cars, they try to to make them real Americanish to appeal to all the "bros". This American influence is permeating my local area after all the kids have seen the Fast NOS and the NOS Furious and try to emulate this glossy fake movie. As can be seen by all the local bogans selling their CommonWhores and buying imports, mind you these guys were only months ago bagging out imports. Sheesh!!! The drift craze is changing the import scene, and its not positive. Young twerps are buying imports and trying to be Keiichi Tsuchiya in their stock cars. If imports didnt already have a bad rep this could be the straw that breaks the camels back! Rant off. Have a nice day!

Hi, I am pretty sure its a manual, he works at Autobarn. I know a few people that know him, I could get all the info about it if your interested, I know its in Vic, and the bottom of Vic as well, airfares are cheap enough these days!! Another skyline fan in Warrnambool. Thats a suprise!

In Warrnambool, Vic there is an R32 GTS-4 for sale, it has had a respray in Metallic Blue, 17' Chrome mags, GTR front Spoiler, looks like it has some kind of sideskirts. I think he is chasing something like $18k for it.

Hi I looking for issue 9 of speed, I am willing to pay up to $15 plus postage for this issue. Cheers. Dazz.

Thanks mate!

Hi, i have said to mate I will give him a hand putting a BOV on his Z31 300ZX and I was just wondering as what is the right location on the inlet manifold to put the BOV or does it not really matter where it is placed? Cheers Darren

The NSX prototype was unveiled in 1989. I am almost 100% certain that they werent released until 1990, all my information points to the earliest NSX to have been released in 1990.

The NSX wasnt released until 1990 so that is the reason. I had a chance to purchase a 1990 model for $40,000 but I would have been unable to register it until next year. I love the NSX.

Hi I just purchased the Skyline GT-R DVD by Duke Video and I was a little disappointed with the content. It hardly contained any history of the GT-R, i.e development and I was also annoyed to find it featured English owners, not Japanese. It was worth the money for the lap of the 'Ring with Dirk Schoysman and the 328km/h run in the gold GT-R...madness, in a tunnel on a public road! If anyone else has seen this DVD what did they think?
