My HPI R34GTR shell arrived, and i've just finished (kinda) painting it here at work. (nightshift) I'm not sure it'll be ready for Sunday, cause there's some funky stuff that I want to do to it first =-]

I'm wondering if anyone is interested in meeting for an RC drift day (or few hours) sometime?

CONFIRMED FOR SUNDAY 19th , 12PM at Curl Curl Netball Courts:

Me - HPI Sprint

Paul - Electric buggy

Steve-o -

Mr 32 - Nitro buggy

Kaza - Nitro w/Skyline shell

Satanic - Prolly filming for us!

qwrx - Electric w/WRX shell

If you guys are still looking for some where to race, there is a basketball court right near my house(would suit...), its hardly ever used...

Can do it sunday during the day?

Few guys around here are really into it!

pm me if your still looking!

Edited by DANSR33

Thanks, Dan! Maybe next meet, depending on where your house and this... basket-ball house?... is.

Mr 32: it's a drift day, so i'd recommend you bring your drifter instead of the buggy... unless you're drifting the buggy? (few are!)

i was planning on bring the buggy, but never drifted the buggy before but i made my suspension very stiff and will change my super soft road tyres for something a bit harder. i dont think the mini z has enough power to drift on paved areas (just look at its size) but i will prob bring it along for a laugh.

all the nitro cars, what nitro % do you run?

PS. does any one have some spare body clips i could borrow?thanks mr 32

OOps! I thought that was a 1:10 scale! All you need to drift easily is PVC tyres. I.E, tyres that are cut from a pvc pipe. If you can find PVC the right size, your mini z could drift no worries! Is it 4wd??

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
