That sounds awesome Jess. Why was none of this stuff done in this area when i had my skyline... I don't know if i will enter though as I am still running in the new motor (it's actually a new car turbo Forester) but will be coming out for a look for sure.

Awesome hope you come to spectate at least....but you can enter any car really cause its all about skill not horsepower!!!

I dont know why!!!Probably didnt think it would take off I guess but went the Victorian one (DECA) and its so much fun and go again in august....

It seriously isnt that stressful on the cars and a massive social event!!

Do you guys know of any other accomodation around the place???

I think we will be putting up a official thread in your section as have to get ACT against NSW for a bit of fun, trash talk lol ;) Spread the word anyone is welcome and post interest in our section if you like!!!!

WOW!

you bought 2 cars off michael.

trust me when i say that your farm isnt the only one this ute has been thrashed on, and that

the tree stump you hit also isnt the first one to meet the front of this car!

My newest battlescar on the ute haha

First scar was the rust and axe/tree limb damage (when we were fixing the clutch we through it would be fun to take an axe to it, it was indeed fun) then 2 mates of mine thought it would be even better to try body denting it, they used a tree branch 3m up to jump. That was funny to watch, not to experience.

Next was back before it had started raining and the paddocks were completly dry so sliding around would make massive clouds of dust that looked like crazy tornadoes, anyway i continued sliding after going a bit crazy and could not see more than 2m in front, unexpectedly I ran into a tree stump. Took out the front bar, light, bonnet latch and radiator but luckily we had an old fairlane lying around so was just a matter of swapping parts over ;)

And the newest one is the windscreen, the car wouldn't start a few days ago and was stuck in a ditch, so i was trying to dig it out in the rain, after a few minutes i cracked a shit and smashed the windscreen in with the shovel and here it is today:

haha yea i've given him a fair bit of money, another sad fact, i've crashed both the cars i bought from michael :X

:dry: i know about the other crash, the broken radiator in the tray when i bought it was a bit of a giveaway, that and he told me. Only thing that shat me off was the dodge job he did on the clutch, he had only screwed one of the bolts on the flywheel in with the rest being barely finger tight...

Well I just paid the final instalment for my new set of wheels being imported from J Land. I am going through Alan @ nextmod (online based Canberra business that actually has decent prices unlike everyone else). So far everything has been going very well, great communication and is able to get answers from his contacts in Japan almost straight away. This is my first dealing with him but if all goes smoothly there will certainly be repeat business based on his prices, range of products and effort/communication. :D

Anyways here is a few pics of the new wheels Limited Edition Gunmetal Grey 18" TE37's ;)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
