Mines petrol, was an xr8 falcon shell which i smashed to pieces. Now have an R34 GTR shell.

I also have a few other mates with them and about 4 others own one in my street.

Will get some pics and the feq of mine.

im not running the 4wd, only rwd.

For the westies - think on tuesday nights heaps of people used to meet up at the harvey norman car park in penrith for races, i think its still on???

Cool!

Paul: Yeah man... your buggy will drift with PVC tyres! Take a rear and a front wheel off, go into a hardware store, and find some PVC that *just* fits over your rims. Measure the widths of the rims, cut it up, wrap tape around the rim, and wedge the PVC over it. Getting your rubber tyres off might be an issue... from memory yours are glued on? (they're supposed to be)

GTRL: Drifting with PVC tyres on a RWD car is next to impossible, but it'll be fun to watch anyway! I'm leaning towards the netball courts in Curl Curl if there is no track to go on. I'm going to sus out St Ives onroad today!

I have an Xray Factory Kit 05 but no transmittor. I've just left the RC Onroad scene after 3 years of pretty hardcore racing. I may be tempted to bring out the beast again. 4WD Onrad drift isd where it's at. Throw on a HPI R34 body to top it off.

Satanic, I may have a spare TL01 shaft at home. I'll have a look.

It's still on but they got kicked out of the harvey Norman car park. It's now on at the Penrith Regatta centre next to the water.

Pop them in the oven for 10 mins. They'll slide right off

do you use pvc pipe over the rims to drift?

do you use pvc pipe over the rims to drift?

Thats the easiest way.

or you can buy specially made drift tyres. They got more traction than PVC but still lose traction now and then. Clicky

Or Just put in a 6 turn motor. You'll drift on anything

Yeah, there's tons of nice smooth places... but i want a track for proper controlled drift!

Like I said, there's tons of netball courts, which will have no issues with landlords or security, but no track!

We'll keep it as an option though =-]

And here's some proof that a buggy and a nitro can drift, but they're both 4wd. These are the netball courts that I used to go to with my mates. As you can see, the track is made out of power cable, and a few bottles of various liquids. Kinda boring now.

I apologise for my mates camera-work... it gives me a headache!

Netball Courts (2.08Mb XVID)

There's a newish track at Windsor (about 50mins from Ryde) where it's Indoor, proper track, 20Ft driver stand, pit lane, plently of power, tables and chairs, canteen and a hobby shop on site. They race only on Monday and Friday nights but every other time the track is open to the public. $10 will get you about 4 hours track time. It's the best track by far in Sydney. No Nitro allowed though

    • 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.
