Hey guys my name is Jess, im 21 and from adelaide. Some of you may know me from NS, but i dont remember the last time i posted on there lol. Just mainly joined to look for parts and ive got alot of friends on here. I dont own a skyline but im half way there, i have a rb20 sil80 as a daily, and a rb25/30 s13 drift car. Ive had it since i was 15 but its only been in the past 5-6 months its been built into a track car, ive gone halfs in building it with a good friend of mine which has been awesome fun so far. Still in early days of its build because of some huge setbacks, but its coming along really well and i cant wait to slide it. 2010 it'll be head down bum up to get it running. My sil80 is currently on double defect which is pretty disapointing, but the plus side is now ive now got a fully engineered rb20 and wide guards, i can see the light at the end of the tunnel now at least lol. I work on my own cars which has been a massive learning curve, but im loving it. I recently learnt how to fibreglass broken guards, and prep and paint, i did the wide guards on my sil80 and was so stoaked with it, ive taken the step to do all the body work on the s13. Im learning more mechanical work everyday aswell. I really enjoy being able to work on my own cars, its a great sence of achievement.

Little bit about me, im a beauty therapist and a makeup artist and live up in the hills. Work really bloody hard to pay for both my cars but id never have it any other way. Grown up with cars, my dad always had rotors, but it was my unkle that got me hooked on racing, i went in my first race car when i was about 10, and i remember going so fast around corners i was loosing my breath, ive never forgotten that feeling and ever since then always wanted to do it. So now i am.

Thats about it... heres a couple of pics of both my cars.. sorry my s13 isnt much too look at at the moment lol.

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.

      Most women will agree that parking is the most taxing part of driving

      You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
