As someone above stated previously, racing can get very expensive and to do it properly requires bulk money to be competitive. As someone who has done State level Rallying, Street car racing( a class at Wanners in W Aust) Speedway, Targa Tasmania and the Enjo SES I found the time I had at Pt Gawler last year to be a great breath of fresh air. There is a distinct lack of officialdom and it's very * run what ya brung* without having to spend lots of Moola on all the things that CAMS hold dear plus running a homologated/legal/FIA type vehicle. I agree that there are very few ( compared to the population) GOOD drifters around but with the new impetus from various states it will become more acceptable. The skill required in controlling a smooth oversteer followed by a quick flick into a tightening radius corner is considerable and rates right up there with abilities required in the other disciplines of the sport. I/we are doing our best to get the drifting series off the ground in WA and have run a few training days at the MC venue which if nothing else , has shown about 50 people who attended and quite a few hundred spectators that even the simple control skills are not as easy as they think... To cut to the chase , drifting is here to stay because it gives the young/poor a chance to strut their stuff to an appreciative audience . I agree it would be great to have a drift training park setup in each state. Hell they put skateboard parks in for the few juvenile delinquents so why not ? Cheers Ken

Mandurah is one hour South of Perth W Aust so think you will have to talk freight deals. $400!! Dayum , that IS cheap. Cheers Ken

First sign of piston rings/pistons starting to fail or getting worn. Can quickly deteroiate to oil mist mixing with the incoming fuel charge which degrades the octane rating causing detonation and definate piston ring/piston failure followed by hammered big ends and bent cranks. High hp/boost on a less than perfect GTR engine can very quickly end in tears... Pushing the boost limits /timing on stock engines without CAREFULLY monitoring knock is very risky. have seen more than enough atm in both RB25 and RB26... Cheers Ken

Ring me at work Tomorrow. Am interested in Cams and Autronics Cheers Ken

Just got back from the UK and faaaarrrkkk, that's not the sort of news I like to catch up on. Sorry to hear. In racing , any crash you can walk away from is a good one. As the rest, glad to see my favourite 6ft blonde is OK and cars can be fixed. * Ken looks at photo of Targa 2001 GTR and sobs...* Cheers Ken

Am stil in UK but ring Glenn at Hyperdrive for the price. Will be back next Sunday Cheers Ken

Glad that you like it and will be nice to see it when I get back .heheehe 2.5 should be from the turbo outlet and goes to 3in at the intercooler. Cheers Ken

Sounds a tad pricey. We R and R a GTR engine for $1K over here if you supply a complete engine. Cheers Ken

First kit should be here tomorrow and will test fit into a R33GTS-T with a 100mm FMIC. I will be gone for 2 weeks so don't expect an answer till I get back, or ring Glenn at the shop. Cheers Ken

Who is doing the compliance in WA for it and why would you buy an N1 and THEN put the aircon back in. Think you might find that's a bigger job than you think as I would suggest the wiring isn't even in the harness. Paul Rogers ( ex Wildcats ) had an N1 but sold it to a local guy over here. It was at Barbagallos and they were asking around 60K but that was a few years ago. cheers Ken

Depending on what you want and for what vehicle , we are getting kits made up using Stainless polished and will be a very competitive price. Cheers ken

We can do you the same intercooler for $720 and we are in Perth. This guys bargain buys aren't as good as he thinks. Call me at Hyperdrive Motorsport tomorrow on 9209 3100. Cheers Ken

1hr south of Perth W Australia. ie about as far from Brissy as you can get Cheers Ken

Sold and perfect timing cos I pick up the R on Monday.. Cheers Ken

Check for an exhaust leak Cheers Ken

Tom , contact Warwick Freemantle. He has the R32GTR N1 spec that is approved for Targa . Some of the mods are enlargened sump ( use trust extension) 17x8 wheels Oil cooler Aircon delete Nismo style 580 or 581 type turbo's plus other stuff I can't remember. PM me if you want further details Cheers Ken

Quite likely but you will have to crawl under the car to verify. Read my previous post re. what to look for. Cheers Ken

Doubt it , the car is already on a truck and heading to WA as of yesterday 11am. Got to thank Ian for picking me up and running me back to the airport. Very nice guy and a pleasure to do business with you Ian ( Qian). Cheers Ken

There are 2 threads in the disc that take a 6or8mm bolt. Screw a bolt in each to put some tension on the disc , spray some CRC around the hub where the disc slides over and tap the h/brake drum part of the disc lightly with a hammer. Cheers Ken

Sorry , want one for a 32R Cheers Ken

Sigh... R33GTR, GTS-T R32 GTR, Gts-T or some other Skyline? Be a little more specific and could save wasting bandwidth. I will be in Melbourne Tuesday and if it's the right model, am interested. Cheers Ken

Ohh , and don't test drive a GTR or you will sell your soul to own one. Right Dan??hehe Cheers Ken

To suit??? Complete dash or just the speedo?? White or black face???? Cheers Ken

You will find that stainless piping and silicon hose plus install will be around an extra $600-800 depending on the workshop. If you are a wiz with a tig , holesaw, strapping and routing of the pipes then the price would be a lot cheaper but probably because you asked the question , I would think not Cheers Ken
