i'll even put money on it. will you?

I'll quite happily take $1000 off your hands.

The car will be finished in about 12 months so you have a chance to get some practice in, You'll need it.

Not in this case my friend. We are currently building a car very similar to Dales new project, with the same power to weight ratio of a v8 touring car for less than $10,000 ,a fraction of the price of a built GTR . Very fast cars have been built for alot less and there are also sedan classes , mid mount an RB in anything light like a silvia= alot of fun.

Dirt circuit is currently the largest motor sport in S.A With aprox 400 + cars but is largely unknown in Adelaide ( Although a track within 100km of the CBD is in the planning). Speeds of 200kph are regularly achieved on the 9 tracks in S.A . Its not oval racing its circuits including straights chicanes and hair pins, club membership is $30 a year and $10 entery fee per race meeting which makes it the fastest cheapest motor sport around, anyone keen? There's nothing like drifting a car at 150 kph+ with 8 other cars inches away, especially when you are blitzing a blown 600hp mid mounted chev in your jap powered weapon :banana: .

yeah wouldnt mind checking out that some time, maybe im a dirty bastard at heart :banana: where you do that at? sau club cruise time :P

The next round of the State championships are at Pt Pirie in two weeks (oct long weekend) on the sunday, racing starts at 8:30 am . I think they already have about 100 cars nominated. I would love to see you skyline boys up there, I think you guys will enjoy it. You will see every thing form well engineered big hp space frame cars to wrecking yard mad max style cars all thrown in together. Guys up at Ceduna are currently building a space frame R32 GTR, but it may not be ready in time. If you guys are keen to come up give Matt at Growly Custom Maching a call (0447739992) and he will help you out.

I have 4 spare seats going up to Pirie. I was going to go with Matt but he has a car full now and he's staying over night. So if anyone wants to come up and have a look send me a PM, but it'll be an early one. I'll be leaving at 7:00am to get up for the first race.

that is an interesting idea :banana:

does it cost much to watch :P could be fun aslong as we dont get the natives attacking our cars :D

Normally about $10 to get thru the gate. Bring your own alcohol, deck chair and sit back and watch the mayhem.

Car parking is around the track so you can basically sit in front of your car, Its all pretty casual.

I went to Arno Bay to watch a race meeting on Sunday and it was $5.00 to get in but i have a feeling the State Champs will be $10.00. I very sure that you don't have to worry about your cars people are generally respectful in the country.

Ha ha ha!! Man i couldnt help but read this forum. Full on. This ax 34Gtr dudes a mass 'hero'. Dale, you still have time to go on SAU even though u went to the country for a wedding? thats dedication.

Blue32 took some 1400 pics from turn 1, hope he can get them up soon.

The mirage was increadible, I thought the timing was not working at the time! Dam sight faster than I was in the wet!

Thanks to the officials on the day, a tight ship helps the event stay on track and run to the best it can for everyone involved. Well done.

Not only are my Autech Stagea and R32 GTR dead, but we also had a real death in the family too :-( This has slowed me down more than a bag of sugar in your fuel system, but here are some of the pics of the power boat championships track day wet at Mallala.....

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
