i would like 2 see more drift and Circuit;

In perth i don't really think there is anywhere 2 do the both on a weekly base. During the drag season evey wed night is open for street cars which i think is a really good idea, maybe we could get somelike that going for drift and circuit.

But then again i don't think any of that could not happen withone someone wanting to spouncers that type of stuff but i could be wrong

I was under the impression that there is a regular drift day at Qld raceway and isn't there at least one drift club in Bris? MRE where are you??.

I think the success of Power Cruise indicated one direction we'll be heading.

Drag Combat is back ....bigger and better.

The new AAA organisation will be making track days more frequent and more accessable eg at Qld this year...10 x Level 1 days and 10 x Level 2 days.

Apart from the distance involved nothing could be easier than getting on the track at Morgan Park.

In the more traditional scene there is a choice of Hillclimbs, Gymkanas, rallies, Khanocross,lap dashes etc every weekend.

BOOSTMEISTER ommitted one choice from his Poll...ie...All of the above. That would have been my choice

Please let it be circuit!!! The whole cruising up busy streets/drifting/neon lights blah blah is a load of BS. If ya got a wicked car and ya think ya got skills, take it to the track. There is no better place to test an all round car and all round driver. Any lame ass beatch can flick the ass out, power slide through a corner and chew up tyres.

Just my opinion so dont flame me for havin it ;P

The australian car scene needs some better direction and less wanky ricer mobiles out there being driven by people who think that because they have big rims and a stereo, that their car is a performance car, sports car, or luxury car. wrong. its just a big rice mobile. And to 3/4 of the luxury car owners, who drive their riced up cars like its a sports car - get a grip - you bought a luxury car, stop driving to be a boy racer.

here is a link to a site that is going to help shape the NEW aussie car scene!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
