skids!

This does look fun!

I am pretty interested in coming and taking my new silvia for a spin, but havnt done anything like this before so am a little nieve about a few things. With the "All cars must have an insurance approved fire extinguisher secured within drivers reach" what are the 'approved' fire extinguishers and do places ususlly sell them with a bracket able to be secured somewhere or do you have to get one made up?

Im assuming my typical duct tape/cable tie method of securing most things would not be acceptable :)

Hey man;

Autobarn has them for about $30; they come with a bracket. what I've done is used the bolt that holds the tab down on the passenger side of the back seat, kinda hard to explain, i'll take a photo tonight. I've bolted that in tight, so if need be, unclip and bang, extinguisher.

You'll also need a helmet, I put links in this thread for an eBay guy selling them; about $100 inc shipping, or you can see MCAS or similar so you can try one on first.

ASAA/CAMS L2NS license also required, $50 I think for a year?

So to sum up, from having nothing to entering texi the first time:

$30 - Extinguisher

$100 - Helmet

$50 - ASAA/CAMS

$70 - Texi entry (or $50 if you're an SAUNSW member, but we'll go with 70 for now)

So first time it'll cost $250 plus fuel, but after that, just the entry fee plus fuel. Plus tyres. :) Keep in mind, those 18's I'm running in that pic still have a ton of tread on them; guess I didn't go hard enough, but I thought I did :rofl:

Oweban, you went soft as... Epically soft since you wouldn't let me drive it! :)

Even Mel, Dave and Eric handed over keys... :)

PS, Looks like after a 10hour flight, I will be driving to Canberra just so I can make it back to Texi at 5AM the next morning...

Big ups to Sean for a lend of a car! :D

Thanks heaps, Ill go check out autobarn and if you can send me a picture that would be awesome. I have a helmet already because I ride motorbikes, and have a few spair tyres lying around from my GTS-T which should fit the silvia too, so it shouldnt be too expensive for a first time event :D

Hey mate good to hear you finally got past the EPA. Narimba is about 5mins from where you borrowed the stock exhaust off my mate.

I'm trying to get him to take his car too so you might not be the only s15

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
