How bout comin to Adelaide for the next drift meet? Apparently they've got all places filled, and it isn't on until next month.. They were even talkin bout buildin a specialized drift track.

We will be covering that event and entering our own drift car. Actually we have been involved in the design of the new track...

Russ as its only a training sess they may not be interested *shrugs* .... unfortunately perth lacks places to legally drift.

But Perth Auto Salon is coming up in October ...... quite a few cars are getting prepared for that at the moment .... ranging from R31 old schoolers to R34's.

As for my cars ..... if u need to borrow a Z31 turbo in good condition (yes there is such a thing :P ) u know where i am ..... Nizmo my R33 looks mean from the outside but otherwise inside n engine are stock ;)

Keep up the good work with the mag ;)

A great article would be on one of our trackday outings at Eastern Creek, we've been getting 10-20 cars a regular basis, from stock to monsters.

That would be a top idea for an article seen everything from a R34 GTR Nur to an R31 on these track days.

A frined of mine has a KE55 corolla coupe he has built to 95% the same spec as a JDM TE37 levin, including JDM tailights, bumpers, Black racing (rs-watanabe style) rims, interior, and a 2T-G with dual mikunis and a T-50 box. Its currently off the road with some drift damage being repaired and a 1.8 litre high comp bottom end and 256 cams going in, as well as front coilovers and some rear end mods. All it needs is the levin grill/lights. When I say same spec as a TE37, I really mean the same spec a young hashirya would have built his te37 to in the late 70's..

those pics are old though.

Theres also a guy here with a KE10 corolla coupe running a 4AGE 20V (might have a 7afe bottom end IIRC), which is also done up in a retro japanese street racer style (e.g japanese rego plates, old school wheels) .

I guess they aren't *totally* imports, but in both those cases there is really no "australian content" componentry left.

retro feature...

cheers,

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
