Newcastle Skyline owners

[NZM.031]

eastern creek and oran park is only an 1hr n a bit from newi. good fun and easier to get to via the putty rd though.

mine are alloy ones from garage 13, $120... there are ones getting around for all different prices... i saw some polyurethane ones for $60.

your car doesnt need many mods to have fun. its better learning in a stockish car. that way as your skills increase, your car increases with you... unlike those guys that buy a drift pig from japan and lose it into a tree etc. etc.

I pretty sure Eastern Creek is closer than oran park. But from what i have heard and not saying that i know sydney well oran park is another hour away?

Once you install the the hicas lock and pineapples you have to tell if you notice much of a difference. oh and there is a group but for a drift hand brake button only 20 bucks if your serious about drift.

Yeah agree with you i reckon you could probably drift a stockish skyline probably only need first few gears. Not like you will be doing high speed drifts when your just learning. I will be insterested once i get my car in order.

The creek is HEAPS closer. Oran park is a hike from newi.

Creek is about 2-->2.5 hours (about 30-40 mins from freeway end). Oran park would be closer to 3-->3.5 hours from memory.

If any of you guys do end up going down - gimme a yell... I'd love to come down there with ya's.

Christ!

Oran Park isn't THAT much further downt he track, but in Sydney it does always depend on which roads you use and at what time of the day.

Oran Park is about the only place that regular drift days are on now, and from Eastern Creek your looking at another 30 mins further on.

But in all reality, if you know where your going well enough it should only take you about 2 - 2.5 hours to get there..... give or take.

But for people like Linton, you come straight down Putty Rd, then get on the Northern Rd and follow it to Oran Park, fugging easy as, and I reckon you'd have more fun, and probably get there quicker.

well i go down the putty, so oran park is closer than eastern creek. maybe not actually closer, but easier to get to. there is drift day next weekend, ill be there, not sure if ill be entering.

ive got a drift button coming from garage 13 for $20, for the moment ive just taped my handbrake button in...works a charm, cept parking on hills....bit of a problem, but eh, not my everyday car.

also, ian... have you ever tried to remove your wing?? just wondering, coz mines all glued on n shit, n i wanna take it off, if yours comes off easy, would you be interested in swapping bootlids??

cheers

lol

I've never tried to remove it.

I assume it was on there when the former owner imported it, so it's prob stuck down the same.

[NZM.031]

ill just rip it off mine...might try it today.

also guys, ive been thinkin of making some aluminium airboxes and radiator panels.... identical to my UAS item. im going to make one for me, as the UAS is thin as fibreglass and does jack shit except keep the cops wondering whats under there.

they will be made slightly different, to make install and removal easier. out of 3mm aluminium sheet which i will polish up to mirror finish...the cooling panel will also be made out thicker aluminuim.

also getting some Garage Debris stickers made up to go on them..

UAS sells the airbox for $200 and the cooling panel for $75. i think id be able to halve this and then some...

im posting it here coz i dont want a huge reply or demand for other items like the c/f thread in the for sale section, will be for close proximity R33 gtst's to start with. PM me if you're interested

cheers guys

[NZM.031]

Hey guys,

Im purchasing an APEXi RSM this week, but i dunno where i should place it in my dash.

I might get the little APEXi stand too (depending on how i mount it), but i didnt wanna drill any holes in the dash to hold it in place.

So i was wondering if you guys could give me some links/photos of R33's with a RSM so i can get ideas of where to mount it.

Cheers Dave

[NZM.031]

double sided tape my man, works a treat. comes off when you want it to, not when it wants to. get the stand, it'll look heaps neater, depending on where you run the wiring.....

no one will really care if its not show car standard.

cheers
