Electric, Nitro, newbie, old car... doesn't matter! I just want to go out and have fun with others, and prolly video tape a bunch of it. (got wireless cam)

Hopefully we can get enough people together to make some kind of make-shift track! =-]

Please also post the dates that you are free.

If we did it on a wednesday night (i work every other night except friday and the rare thursday) we could find a well lit shopping car park

i.e. coles

Problem with that is the shops usually close around 10-1030pm which is quite late to be starting

Yuk man! That track is HORRIBLE! If you want a well-maintained offroad track, with BIG jumps, and a table-top, North Ryde is the place to go!

I've competed with the North Shore RC club a few times in the 1/10th modified truck rounds (and won a few times!) with my HPI RS4 MT... pictured below with road-tyres on it.

First post updated...

I've emailed Castle Hill raceway to see if it's open to the public on non race-days. Looks to be a nice track, smooth, and has ripple-strips.

I'd be happy to get a bunch of people up there for some fun... the netball courts would require rope or PVC halves to make a track.

christ... there's an indoor one there??

I've never seen it! I've done the offroad one a few times, and i've been to heaps of markets at the grounds there... but i've never seen a track! Do you remember if it was open to public all the time, or if you had to book or pay when you turn up or anything?

This could be perfect for a drift day!

hmm, could be interested if organising an on road night depending on location and if i have to work, me and a mate have nitro's :), just gotta fix my front end, rc with no cover vs. dyno = :P

AaronMine's electric... but depending on where we go, nitro shouldn't be a problem!

All you really need is an onroad 4wd car, with tweakable suspension and camber (re-positioning the shocks) and some PVC. Wrap tape around a bare rim until the PVC goes on quite tight, and there you have it!

For the 4wd aspect, belt or shaft shouldn't matter. I'll post some vids up of my car. I'm sorting out an R34GTR shell at the moment.

    • 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.
