Say hi to Ken

[Ken_the_canadian]

Hi all, I just signed up with the SAU forum and am looking forward to being an active member. Seeing as im from Canada right now you probably know I dont have a skyline T_____T.

Since i couldnt get a V spec im currenly driving the 03 spec V, but i do have the cash for the skyline.

Anyways ill be moving to AU in about a year, just need to finish up my Accouting degree.

I was looking for some info though, im looking into moving to Brisbane but i didnt know if they had much for rally, drift and autocross?

Thanks !!!!!!!! :headspin:

Hi

Welcome

The guys in the Queensland section will be able to give you info about tracks etc, however, the Queensland climate isn't ideal for turbo cars.....

Melbourne is where it's at!

Hey leech you can get 89 GTR's in Canada now, so start saving your pennys

[sammus]

Travel all over the place I say. Experience the whole place while your there.

this is my first time using a forum so im afraid at some point ill end up posting in some off end of the forum by accident,

Anyways leech, Canada gets all the cars Australia gets im pretty sure, minus the skyline and the S15 silvia. Although our S13 and S14 are both called the 240sx and we didnt get the sr20 T____T. But we have a ton of good cars and better prices then AU, including Supra's, rx7's, porches, mr2, and everything else. Were not to big on tunning american cars unless its for the drags.

And yeah we just stared getting in the 89 skylines into BC they run for about 15-20G, and remember the canadian dollars is worth about 7 cents less than the AU i think.

^________^ just to ask, is melborne better for rally, drift and auto? im just a little worried it will be to populated and ill spend all my time sitting in traffic rather than enjoying the road.

leech, buy any skyline in japan before you go to canada, and then have it shipped over there. Technically you can take ANY car into the country as long as you own it (think its minimum 24 hours). Keep the car in canada for a year and then if you come back into australia you can bring it in as a personal import (and not have to take off mods and go thru sevs n pay half the taxes etc).

That way you get to drive around in canada in say an R34 while all the guys over there roll around in R32's aaand you get to import an R34 cheaply (remember no compliance plates) into australia

Ken, if you go to brissy you'll enjoy the road for sure, whenever I'm up there I'm always driving back n forth to gold coast and brissy. Out of the three I'd say sydney was the best for rally drift n autocross, although I dunno how you're gonna participate in all 3 sports with 1 car

The import scene is probably the biggest in melbourne, second perth. then comes brissy and then sydney. However there's more kids in imports that are keen on the street scene in melb than they are in the track scene. Both SAU VIC and SAU NSW are CAMS affiliated (national motorsport association) so our members are able to participate in various non speed and speed based motorsports, that we organise, and also that other clubs in the association organise which we are invited to (in melb there's the masserati club, the WRX club, the Ford club etc).

The weather in melbourne is the most similar to canada, except there's no snow and you'll never have icicles forming on the bottom of your nose
