nasty. here is one I took from in front of the fence (but behind the small barrier) at the final turn coming onto the straight at tsukuba circuit in japan. it's the fastest corner on the track coming off the back straight onto the front straight. this guy lost it and nearly took me out but just managed to avoid the wall. I got nailed with rocks and dirt though.

I think this one is pretty cool too. I took this at Fuji speedway drift circuit.

this is a favourite too. I took this at nismo festival 2007 at Fuiji speedway. all the generations of Nismo Super GT race cars and group A cars too. and a nice winter sunset.

This one I took on the side of a mountain in the tsukuba mountains area. big spot for street drifting on the togue here. some crazy drifters up here doing 3rd and 4th gear entries speeds up around 130 maybe higher on tiny little roads. and I'm mad enough to be standing on the side of it. every time a car came close I nearly wet myself. it is the most scared/excited i've been watching motorsport.

this one is taken on the tomei exrepssway heading back to tokyo. we are having a little street race with mines president niikura-san (not that I condone that type of thing :blush:). The best bit is he is in the mines R35 GTR the very day it was unveiled and we are in a 800ps+ top secret built R34 GTR. pretty cool and probably the first street match up between a 34 and a 35 anywhere in the world.

Thats Alan McNish there...one time F1 man now forgotten entirely, lol

I was there working with a catering company - had a private box looking after some corporates, i managed to get in the pits plenty and even drank champagne from the 3rd place privateers cup - good times. Oh and David Brabhams helmet was an exact fit.

you obviously don't watch any of the sportscar races from europe or america

He is styill rated as the top sportscar driver in the world

lol, i know, and hes won the jackie stewart trophy too.

I meant in f1 circles that is...when was the last time we heard his name, lol.

The helmet was unmistakable. I remember that smash he had at 130R in Suzuka - whoa was he a lucky boy that day. They DNS'ed him for that race if i remember correctly.

Neways, this thread a keeper thats for sure.

    • 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.
