After a massive year of drifting throughout Tasmania and Victoria, and with the preparations for Drift Challenge in December well underway, here is a small video Nick and myself from GT Garage have pieced together. The video displays a small sample of my driving abilities with out and in car footage from events this year. The video also showcases the the large scale change the car has undertaken since the vehicles purchase in almost 100% stock form in June 2004 to its current guise as a dedicated drift car.

Please feel free to click on the link below to view the video:

I would like to thank the following businesses for their ongoing support:

- Tasmanian Mobile Mechanics

- Highway Crash Repairs

- La Bella Pizzeria

- Federal Tyres / Goodyear Hobart

Without their help over the past year I would not have been able to achieve what I have achieved.

I would also like to thank the following for providing footage and photographs for the video:

- Adam Sutton (www.agsphotos.com)

- Alec (Nova Photography)

- www.loaded.net.au

- Heavy Hamilton

Lastly a big thank you to my business partner Nick for the production of the video and the tuning of the car.

The car will be competing at Drift Challenge in December 16 at Calder Park Raceway, which will be arguably the biggest drift event ever held in Australian drifting history. If your business is interested in using the vehicle as a means to promote your brand name feel free to contact myself on 0408782632, via email at [email protected] or simply send a PM on this site to obtain a copy of my personal drifting portfolio.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
