  1. oh yeah the weld on cast bend was from AVO(advanced operations)(or something like that) in morrabin, melb. they have all sizes in stock. i used 2.25 to 2.5 inch 90 deg.
  2. yeah the fan is close.....but so is the bonnet when shut either way if you were gunna do this be sure to check clearences first. If ya look close in this one you can see the engine mounts....solid as a rock....stearing wheel vibrates a little.....just adds to the feel. got my seats and pimp fur in as well! yay this is the car before i bought it....a long time ago.......Trents old car i believe....It has street cred as it has be thrashed by a D1 driver.... lol I still have to make a custom oil catch can and a rad over flow bottle...coming soon
  3. The rad piping.....like all drifters/home owners i'm broke so am to "tight" to buy pretty silicon for the rad... the bottom line proved to be more of a head ache to make than its worth........but i had already cut up the original to join the top line. this bit= not worth the pain! keep your stock one or if you must upgrade buy a silicon one! I'll prob put up some more pic's later......so check back Cheers Waz
  4. cooler brackets.... rusty bit of angle iron for the rad support underneath.... Because the rad is now so close to the motor i need to make the rad piping to suit......actually i should say "we"...my house mate is the welder.....i just cut and tell him what i want...lol just to confuse you here's the gearbox mount.......didn't see that coming did ya? gotta silicon the AFM top back on to keep out the nasties.. starting to come together..
  5. from the front...you can see the brackets that hold the intercooler up level with the top of the rad.this setup also makes for easy ducting! the AFM mounted in its new little home the piping on the hot side shal be a bit easier.......once again my lazyness playing a part here.. gunna need to weld a bend onto the turbo.....will look neater and wont "pop off" under hard boost and high temps.....as they like to do. wasn't real keen taking a hack saw to my NEW trust L2 either! but it worked out ok.........if you do this remember to let it cool down very slowly.....i rapped it in a blanket straight after welding.
  6. Hey all thought i'd throw up some pic's of my one8 i'm trying to get together for the 08 vicdrift series. Turbo is trust TD06 L2 stock donk solid urethane mounts trust sump blah blah wank wank heres the pic's red one8 L2 biarch! intake pipe.....probably could have done a few cuts to make it look more "custom fabed" but i'm a lazy sod! I mounted the cooler and rad behind the rad support to decrease piping lengtht and prevent damage to those systems in the event of a little "nudge" lol I also mounted the AFM (GTR nismo) in the throttle body side of the piping so it dosn't get affected by the remission "flutter" that would normally blow back past it on closed throttle. and because BEN told me to put it there.....lol i was quite nervous taking apart the nismo AFM......put it still works fine. yay!

    Anime/Manga

    I'm in melbourne and the JB hi-fi at southland has a wall of anime. Can anyone tell me how many "stage's" initial D goes for?? I've seen "stage3"....... is there a stage4 ?? Favorite box set at the moment is "Kenshin hamura, wandering swordsman" , a series of samuri X JB hi-fi is starting to get in "Naruto" now too! yay! (if ya like ninja's check it out)
  15. If the exhaust wheels have come off the turbo's then it would indicate that for some reason you have over boosted the turbo's.
  16. Hey all, Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. Just want to know if anyone knows if crow cam's are any good (or bad) I was going to get some for my SR20det. But if anyone has some either in their skyline or other import, i am keen to hear of their experiences. Cheers, Warwick.
  17. So they are made in taiwan now? hmm............skanky. Hey "Ferni" what shocks do you use?
  18. Junk!!! what are you doing??? wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire. really old second hand miss matched scraps from wreckers for the FTW (covers self in petrol and waits)
  19. Hey guys need help looking for a catch can for my gtr need something suitable for cams spec
  20. If you own a rear wheel drive skyline and want to learn donuts and figure 8's and proper hand brake enties into corners then this is perfect for you. Calder Park is under new managment and they are really getting behind Drift in Victoria. They run their own Drift practice nights and are doing it well. So come have some fun in your car.
  21. Sorry more links, more drift ,clicky clicky. http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...249555&st=0 Victoria ! soon to be the new drift state.
  22. Hey all, This is gunna be big! Vicdrift is happy to promote any drift events in vic. Clicky on the link and check this out. Its just a heads up. http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=249368
  23. Hey all Vicdrift is proud to present "Drift Skills" at calder park raceway for beginners. http://www.vicdrift.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=129 check it out on the Vicdrift web site.
  24. Yeah we know this. But unfortunately Winton can not afford to keep repairing the track after each drift meet. VicDrift will organize something new for beginers soon. Come to calder if you can. Beginers section there is great.
  25. The beginer section has been shut down permenantly at winton due to track damage. Calder drift nights still have beginers section and hopefully we at Vicdrft will have some Days at Deca just for beginers. Beginers are still welcome at winton and will be given plenty of space between cars to make them feel comfortable.
