Hey everyone, some mates and I went to the Lake Grace farm on easter weekend and did some skids on a salt lake, also on a track we'd made in the bush paddock.

Since this is the first time I've posted these videos on SAU, here are the first two:

This one takes place last Anzac day. Some good footage of jumping the Excel (RIP), some rotor [dirt] drift. Also introduced to the civic-ute which is one of the only cars still running now.

Second movie, quite recent. Labour day weekend. There are a couple new additions here, a couple of 4L falcons. Also took out a Datsun, unfortunately this sheared its halfshafts shortly after arriving so there isn't any footage of it. Also a barina makes its way out there. I take a lot of dusty videos and my camera lens is now screwed. Oh this movie also has an old RWD Celica and the Excel burial.

And here is the new video:

Latest video, from the Easter weekend just gone. Some more drifting, and the salt lake was very muddy this time (as opposed to dusty and dry). Features Civ-ute, Celica, Falcon, Failcon and Christians Patrol.

ok enough rambling. Had some positive reviews from these videos, so enjoy!

both our falcons are autos

:D

just picked up a RB30 r31, that is our newest addition :)

currently in process of stripping, welding up a sidepipe, reinforcing the front, welding on braces and that sorta stuff.

Haha looks like great fun, i wish i lived close to those salt lakes :)

Just be careful driving in the bush if you are cutting off the exhausts, starting bush fires isn't cool

Yep we try to keep the cars that blow flames to have exhausts pointing upwards :) (rotor...)

We also have an actual firetruck we take out to the track during summer months. We've been well versed in fire safety :D

So far, yet to start a fire or roll a car.

Lol nice, sounds like you have it well under control.

haha, I'm leaving his comments there, I personally think they are hilarious.

Also if anyone has some good ideas for what to do to a r31 (rb30) to get it ready for bush bashing, let me know :ermm:

we are already looking at dodging up some turbo in the future for it, but for the time being we want to give it a little bit more power (exhaust, intake, anything else?), and reinforce the front end a bit, and possibly raise it up an inch or so

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
