Queensland Raceway or Lakeside. You can do a lot of stuff on an AASA Clubman License (Sprints, Drift, etc). $55 a year and you don't even have to do a test. There's also drags at willowbank, I don't think you need any licence for that.

Keep it off the streets, nobody likes a street racer.

I am thinking of buying my first sportscar an old skyline. Where can you learn to drive fast in brisbane? Do you need a special license? What about "open roads" with no cops?

you're a dickhead, fcuk off to another forum

Take it to a track, lakeside or QR... Straight line use Willowbank drag strip...

Anywhere else and you risking your life and more importantly the life of others...

Skyline drivers are not snobs, they just get sick of being pulled over cause there are a few "hoons" who like to drive them and taint the whole image...

Wow! What nice people we have on this forum!!!!! Perhaps I will fcuk off!

Everyone has to start somewhere. Are skyline owners snobs??

start at a track, or even a skidpan, where there is plenty of room for you to spin out with no telephone poles, gutters, police and let alone innocent people

Thanks sorry I see. I was thinking more like a piece of totally open road with no other traffic, i guess in the old days you could go bush and drive fast out there. So there are racetracks? How much do you pay for insurance and use of a racetrack?

I was kinda hoping this would be a friendly scene.. I used to be involved in classic car racing and hill climbs in the UK and this was a very friendly scene, although i didnt own my own car my uncles had old racers from the 30s and 40s! Im just looking for a new hobby, ive given up on motorbikes since a nasty accident.

This is a friendly scene and we are friendly people.

Some people have lost their licence due to speeding, or getting defects, others have lost loved ones due to other people speeding etc.

When you post about racing or whatever down "open roads" with no cops you can't expect anything different from what has been posted above. It's foolish and idiotic.

Keep your racing to the track, the links have been provided at the top for you so visit their websites, give them a call and they will be able to answer your questions on costs etc.

Racing down an 'open road' is just as stupid as racing down the middle of town. Your life is just as valuable as the person next to you, even if you don't believe it yourself.

No, but some of them on this forum are the biggest nazis ever, its mainly the old farts. Just ignore them. Just find yourself an industrial area and have yourself a ball. Willowbank is in the middle of no-where and you have to drive ages to get there from anywhere in brisbane and plus you gotta get licence and entry fee, and pretty similar story to qld raceway.

Tristan is like 12, he is not old he is just not fully sick.

Some places where you can have a good drive but not break the speed limit include Nt Nebo, Mt Mee, Esk-Hampton Road and Gold - Coast Springbrook road

As far as going to an industrial estate that is neither fun nor safe fail ++

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
