Recommended Posts

hi lads,

my name's jonathan stack, or "stacky" as everyone calls me back home, im 22.

just moved here from ireland about 2 months ago, starting to settle in sydney. got a skyline gtst last week, allways wondered what the big deal about the 6 cylinder nissans was...now im hooked!

below is a pic of my car,

i have owned a few rwd turbos back home. i had

a 1997 200sx s14a turbo, vid of me back home in it... http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=f5YMZ8nwuwg

a 1993 180sx turbo,

3 toyota mr2's, my old blue one had a nice trd lsd. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=yI-NJwKOXpI&...feature=related

the skyline i have now is by far my favourate though.

im big into drifting, and was hoping to get some practice in here but it seems to be difficult enough. was hoping to use the skid pan and small drift track in eastern creek but they sounded like they didnt want to know me on the phone!

anyways, i would really appreciate it if you guys could point me in the rite direction for geting in some drift practice here.

and also let me know if there's any regular meets, get togethers in sydney where i can get to meet a few members.

talk to ye soon.

Welcome mate.

Nice car,i like that blue.

Theres a Motorsport section on the forum and the Events section in the NSW section shows regular meets and outings.

Enjoy!

P.S Have You Heard?

Welcome to the forum mate :P

come check out the NSW section for all the cruises and meets etc

You just missed out on a drift day but im sure there will be another one soon

btw. what part of sydney you living in?

good to see a good sense of humor, ive seen absolutly every episode of family guy...f**king love it!

anyways,

im in manly nsw, living in a hostel at the moment, trying to get a house sorted.

im going to try to get drifting this friday in oran if its raining.....cant in the dry with the shit diff thats in it at the mo. i know its a viscus same as my old 200sx, but f**king hell the 200's diff was wayyy tighter.

is anyone here doing the drifting on friday?

cheers lads

I don't know anyone thats going out this friday.. unfortunately a lot of people in australia love drifting.. but hardly anyone gets out there and gives it a go.. a lot more people in to track work here instead. I know of a few people in the NSW Club that get out there as often as they can though.

used to get together back home and do it late at night in the middle of no where, couldnt piss anyone off and it was safe.

@slim...cheers buddy, appreciate it!

@mr xtc.... thanks man....tbh ireland actually has more jap imports by the looks of things, the place has gone drifting mad so thats where i got my addiction for those cars.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
