Vicimports club member Micheal has entered his 1991 300zx Twin Turbo 5 speed manual and proudly representing VICimports Club in the Time Attack class (Special Thanks to Rod Kershaw).

Whenasking Micheal what was done to his car, he laughs and says " the car is stock standard, I use it to takeelderly people to church, hahahah. At the very moment the car is still beingtuned and hopefully will be complete and ready for Forum Battle, so powerfigures are TBA. Majority of the work was done by myself and my dad".

Somesaid that he was mad for selling up one of Sydney's most bad-ass, full ofattitude street driven EVO 8 for an S15 . BUT, as quickly as those comment weremade, they have been retracted and the haters have now become lovers.

Takea look at the picture and its easy why you'd sell up! Full wide-body vertexridge kit, Custom midnight Purple, 20″ SSR, and making 385rwkw on 25psi. Yesplease we would like one too! Sergio tells us the modding won't and hasn't stopsince taking ownership, first being a Porsche brake upgrade ( currently underdevelopment) and most recently an RWB inspired front and side-skirt lips.

Billy's Ae71 may look like and unfinished, unpainted project, but pop open the bonnet or even stick your head under the car and its full of goodies with everything there to make it go sideways or put down a decent lap.

See Billy's Ae71 at the Grip Shift Slide's show and shine section of Forum Battle.

Normally found in the engine bay of a 4th gen Prelude. The conversion may be unorthodox, but for one third of the price of a k20 swap its a bang for buck swap. Running a 14.5 down the quarter with a stock H22A , Phouc's Civic has proven to give some turbo cars a run for their money.

At Forum Battle , we'll be seeing the H22A Civic at full V-Tec in the Gymkhana event.

Hey guys, event had great potential but the rain just killed it. Was a big waste of $$ and time for us. Looking at those pics from gripslide, the shownandshine day looked like a great day! Too bad we had to drive back home.

I wouldn't say a waste as such, can't help something you cannot control... But agree otherwise, certainly had potential to be pretty awesome.

Sunday's weather was near perfect for circuit work as well :(

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
