Does anyone in newcastle have an old crappy turbo they dont want (the cheapest of cheaper china, i dont mind). All it needs is some sort of exhaust housing and turbine wheel that still spins properly, dont care about anything else. Average size would be good, probably cant use a monster big item for what I want. Its just for a little project ;) Let me know if you have some junk laying around that you want to donate or sell for a very small amount. :)

My first car was an R31 and wow, what value for money they are imo! Cant wait to get another one, one day and turn it into a cheap drift car. Lock diff, turbo rb30, s13 coilovers - drive it until sometihng breaks and replace it cheap. RB30s can be had for cartons, the gearboxs arent too hard to find and are fairly cheap. The biggest rarity is diffs really as far as I know.

looks fun ben!

how much has the car cost you to setup all up?

IT IS LOADS OF FUN!

The car was my brothers daily before he bought is red 1600,

Roll cage is bolt in from bond and was about $1500

Seats and rails was $600

Harnesses were $300 i think

We got the wheels and tyres from our previous 1600 rally car and rally retreads cost us $300 for a set on rally casings.

It's a very cheep form of motor sport, I started off in my first car which was a R31 which was manual i bought for $150 ( there are more videos on my Youtube channel)

Khanacrosses which are the next level down which they do out at AWABA the licence needed is a Level 2 speed and to join the club and its $50 entry, and all that is needed is a fire extinguisher a blue triangle and something to hold the bonnet down and thats it.

Rallysrints have and entry requirements of at least a half cage and proper seats and such, entry is only $80 an event.

thats pretty awesome.

ant f**k the go kart idea yiu should do this.

I think id get a hot hatch ay. honda jazz or civic would be pretty cool.

I will find out if i like go karts next weekend on the come and try day, you should come with jarrad, and find out what there actually about instead of being so against them..

Nah havent had cash to play with, got an accepted offer on a house too so wont be for awhile i would say. But i put my name down for the come and try day and got the call a few weeks ago saying i was in, put my name down like 5 months ago ha, but they only run them every 3 months from memory, so i will get a taste before investing in the future

Sweet! You will have fun! Alex did the come and try day and owned a kart not long after ;)

are there any more spots ant? I think id enjoy it but I wouldn't get into it. I work with a guy that races and he said every race meet costs around 500 bucks each. from tyres and rebuilding your engine after every second meet etc to get the most power etc. can go to wake field for that.

hah don't you watch rally matt? half the cars are hatch backs the other half are evos and wrxs

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
