I was there in my R33 (silver one) testing it out and seeing what mods I need to carry out to drift well...

I must say it was looking alright im a first time drifter myself and I was starting to get used to it before my tyres ran out.

Everyone there is a champ they let me use their tools and if I borrowed some off of you, thankyou very much.

u were the silver one with the sau stickers on?! I was just bout to come on here and ask who it was out there.

was a pretty good day,even if the turnout was a little small.. couple of crashes, one pretty bad one with the s13. Aaron (sus 032) was awesome on his last few laps before he killed his gearbox.

yeah that was me flick!. lol. i had a few people come up to me and say hello, i thought there was gonna be more sau'ers tho

i went as a spirit of the moment thing, my mate rang up, i said yeah what the hell, and now im driving on some bald ass tyres! off to bob janes on monday!.

on a good note, i loved the way my car sounded with the screamer pipe... gdaymm!... lol but it is a little short, and it was burning some rubber thing that was dangling down and i had smoke in the cockpit. but sounded nuts!~

Pauly.

I didnt even realise it was u.

I was there watching Huddy bust a nt in his ceffy.

Dammit that boy can slide.

Pauly, i would suggest getting coilovers and or lower ur car.

U had massive bodyroll going on. Get strut braces and bigger sway bars. Also a 2way diff.

But i give u a high five for learning on AIR. very harsh track to leanr on.

You should come out to the Drift School on sunday this weekend.

Im gunna see how I go in the 4door. hopefully dont get to no the walls better.

Good work on going out.

yeah like i said brent i was out for fun and for a test of the car, i wanted to know what the stock ride was like before i make it stiff as a rock. The track was pretty good, i didnt have any problems with it, mainly the fact it was my first time out there and learning some drifting techniques can be tricky wthout the proper setup... power over drift and e-brake ftw...

im buying coilovers this week sometime, i still need ecu to sort out and i need an oil cooler perhaps. i only got stock internals but they seem to be alright the way im treating it. im keeping this car for its life so if she needs a rebuild ill make it stronger. make a monster out of it yet.

First time for me drifiting out there on a track...... Got to admit absolutely bloody loved it although only got about 5 laps in before my right control arm snapped.... (Anhyone know where to get a new one for cheap??).

Its a bit hair raising with that wall and the tyre barrier near the bowl... Almost hit the tyres a couple of times (you should have seen the look on the photographers faces when i stopped a metre short of them!!!).

That was me!!!!

And that tyre wall in the photo was the one that i stopped about a metre away from twice!!!!

Does anyone have any photos or vids??? I saw one of the photographers who said the photos would be put on ns.com but my work has banned it (damn it)... The only way i could use the SAU site was by saying i needed to get some parts for a work machine hehehehehehehe

    • 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.
