scary stuff hay, i didnt catch the whole story, but didnt sound good

yeah he had major issues trying to take their 180 degree hairpin turns and the likes. we should do the same route again, but instead of heading back to adel via eagle on the hill. head straight to handorf from the pub at lobethol.

sounds good dooky, i really like that piece of road, well suited to skylines :cheers:

handles good? definately good for handbrake corner entries

Handles like poo, but hey you gotta use your imagination in these sorts of cars, wouldn't catch me rippin no handbrake in the 33 tho, my mate has but he's a full on slider, used to have a 31(as stated in drift battle being "the most drifted out 31 in Australia) but the damn fool has switched to a 180.

yeah but by looking at the respones to organised events ppl pull out at the last moment. ie dinner and cruise as a good example. so would be good just to get phone numbers and go say something like "want to crusie this afternoon" and make a decision straight away instead of yeah i'll go then later say nah i cant.

I also second that motion, and sometimes it's better with just 4 or 5 when it's like that!

my brothers 180 is set up for drift and when you pull the hand brake epsecially in this weather condition, you better know what you are doing cause the thing goes absolutely sideways. same cant be said bout the 33 though as i havent bothered trying.

But the Mt Lofty cruise was a good turnout, nice weather, no probs at all! I sort of need a bit of notice cos i got to drive 100ks to the meet up point :cheers:

Yeh my mates got a thing for ripping it heaps early like i mean heaps early, he wants to rip it at the canteen at Mallala for turn one, and has even gone as far as saying doin a 360 into slide turn one, but i said I'll appaude when i see that one!!

I dont think 33s are suited to full-on drifting, theyre more of a drivers car

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
