[Guest SVD001]

[BelGarion]

and ill have my digi vid cam there too

[Guest Boxhead]

yep ill be brining my digital video camera, and a digital still cam too... i dont think ill be takin part with my car, i dont think it will be ready, with me and a liscence, but who knows, with the rate its going, i should be on my open liscence

[Guest SVD001]

Keh????? They do prefer long pants and tops with shoes and a helmet being the "must have" items. I wore overalls last time....I looked a treat...

[Revhead]

White 32... sorry for the delay mate, have been a bit busy with other things. I'm actually on 4 weeks' leave at the moment so I won't be back in Toowoomba until early April, but yeah, we should definitely hook up.

As for the skidpan day, I now have my wheel bearings so it should all be sweet. They're not in yet but all I need now is the time/motivation to do it. One thing I did notice... the front wheel hubs look a lot like a front wheel drive setup, but with a bolt where the front driveshafts would normally go... I wonder how easy it would be to put the GTS4/GTR bits in, given that I need a new gearbox anyway, and the looms and floorpans are the same? Hmm...

[digsy_20]

hey revhead...

i hear that you can put all the GTS-4 running gear into a gts-t

a mate was really keen to do it up here... he said that it was going to be simple ... but I didn't believe him.... and he still hasn't got around to doing it.... but yeah... he was talking to a couple of the local wrecking yards around brissy and thought he could get away with it for about $4000....

it's worth looking into if you really want one... because while you've got it apart you can do a few mods while your there.... and atleast you know that if you do it yourself it's been done right.... when I got my car over from japan they told me that it had been regularly serviced blah blah blah..... however as I do all my own mechenical mods I had my sump off and suprise suprise it didn't look like it had had one service let alone regular services... I think the oil was growing!!!!

but yeah... while you got it apart you can do the clutch and rebuild the box while your at it.... it's not as hard as everyone makes out rebuilding manuals to be.... just be neat and lay everything out in order... so it goes back together.... just then you know it's been done once and done properly....

would make an interesting build story....

it'd be interesting to see how common a build it would be if everyone found out that it was actually a straight forward swap??

hmmmm I don't think my piggy bank will permit...

[Revhead]

Lol I do have a few things limiting my ability to try it at the moment - money, and an uncertain future (might be moving to Japan for a year or two, might not be) mainly. But it would be very interesting to find out about... might make some enquiries for my own interest.

[digsy_20]

yeah... it is definatly worth looking into... atleast so someone can say that they did the research and can point someone wanting to do the hard yards in the right direction....

my mate that had that big idea for his 32 just threw it out the window... he just bought a complete RB30 with 25 head to slip into the place of the tired RB20.... it should be awsome... it has all the bits... like forged pistons and cams.... big turbo.... could run 11's or 10's well tuned.... it's good to see that there is still some crazy young (and old) australians giving this import stuff a good go....

anyway.... I actually came to this thread to see if anyone had anymore info on the Skid pan day....

come on I am desperate for some dorift.... all us Central Queensland Drift Nuts are going ..... well.... nuts....

Slip get back to us....

or I guess we'll see you down at the sprints and drift day at QLD raceway on the 28th and 30th....

see you all then....

[slip]

Reveived email back from ted, saying that its close......

It will happen, but I'm not on the edge of my seat anymore, being there for so long has gotten uncomfortable. Unfortunately we all have to wait on other people to do their job, which sucks, but hey, thats life.

Dorift will come Have faith.

[Birty]

the longer the better, cause the more i'll be ready to drift muhahaha

[Revhead]

Yep still waiting to get my wheel bearings in. But I will be ready

[digsy_20]

thanks for keeping it moving slip....

we are still keen to come down and thrash our cars....

however seeing that there was a small group of us that came to the SR20 Day on the 30th... we are super keen for that too....

keep us posted....

I think the whole Garage Spank Krew should just up and move to Brissy....
