One of our state's (and country's!) most renowned drifters (and Skyline driver/owner!), Linden Reynolds, is in Japan with a group of Australians for the Drift Matsuri festival at Ebisu. It's 32 hours of straight drift on 7 tracks at one location - crazy!

It draws drivers from all over the world, from countries including Australia, USA, UK, New Zealand, Denmark etc etc... As a result of this, Option DVD held a competition for all the international drivers.

In an unfamiliar car (a Laurel with a fairly stock RB25 in it), on an unfamiliar track, our very own our Lindo WON the competition!!!

Yes I'm proud, I'm happy to admit it, so just thought I'd share our piece of excitement with you!!!

CONGRATULATIONS LINDO!!!

lol I was gonna ring them last night Bec to see how they went, but thought I better wait until the festivities were over and they'd recovered.

That's awesome news, massive congrats to Lindo and all the lads repping us over there.

For those who don't know, the Matsuri organisers always run an impromptu comp over the course of the weekend, and they decide what it's going to be after the event has started (try doing that at a CAMS event lol). This time around it was called the G1 (G standing for gaijin haha) and all the foreigners were invited to have a crack at winning it. I actually think Luke Fink won the last one too, so us Aussies seem to be doing pretty well over there!

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
