  1. I also agree with 9krpm's line of thought by keeping it simple. I also think the event should be run similar to the rev speed time attack style. ie. Run what you bring. Any tyres are accepted except for full slicks. This means if entrants want to run and be competitive they would need to run R compound semi slick tyres.. sorts out the serious competitors. If someone has a fast street car, then by all means enter it! But don't have a sook about someone who's spent more money on modifications. It shouldn't be mandatory to run R compound tyres, but if you want to be fast then you would want to be. This also avoids dispute over street car/race car - it's not relevant. It gets too technical to differentiate between the two. I wouldn't want to watch an event with street cars having a crack.. purely because it's not that type of event. It should be for the fastest cars to battle it out in an "open" class. If some competitors say it's not fair because they can't afford proper tyres, then bad luck!! This isn't some sunday cruise event. There will also be differences in power to weight due to different model cars, chassis construction, suspension setup, weight reduction, etc. so how difficult would it be to regulate that? The drivetrain type should be noted in the results, such as RWD, 4WD, FWD. It should be for any car, in whatever trim people choose.. I say all mods should be free, with the exception of full slicks so how do you like them apples? Edit: if this event was to ever happen, I wonder what the autosalon circuit battle organisers would think. hehe
  2. That is cool as f**k!! I'd love to be there for the nismo festival... the new GT500 GTR is sexy.. but the SuperGT R34's still got the tuffness
  3. These are excellent calipers for the money. I have these F50 calipers with 355mm 2 piece rotors, and they pull up a GTSt well on the track. They're bigger and better designed than the road brembo calipers that are supplied as stock GTR brakes. Good luck with the sale Troy!
  4. Thanks to all the SAU committee for giving up their time to run the day, especially Chris on the BBQ - the Tong Master! those chilli sausages were tasty! Was a nice relaxed day out in the sun, always good to catch up with the regulars. Numbers seemed less than last year.. but was great to see everyone's cars looking mint, met a few new club members as well. I took heaappps of photos which I will post up a selection of soon. Those final inspection detailing jobs look sensational - ronin's doors were like mirrors! Catch everyone at the final meeting on Dec 18th
  5. Bump/ All items in first post still available. Melbourne only for the bonnet, not willing to post it!
  6. Oh my god, that's f**kin TUFF! excellent driving... your downshifts are awesome to watch... what sort of gearset does the car have?
  7. LOL.. maybe because last time they were invited they entered with a full carbon fibre panel Evo which kicked everyone's ass Controversy, i love it

    Great vids!! Excellent editing and camera work.. Nothing like seeing a well done compilation of cars in action to music. Very impressive!
  9. lol believe me, I know all too well how long it takes to fly to sydney... i've spent enough time flying between melb and sydney for work I don't do as much traveling these days..
  10. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Nissan R390 GT1 Will post my list tonight.. don't think I can come up with 10 though
  11. Grant I think you're the one being the dickhead Clearly you have no interest in the plates either, so what's your point? Move along.
  12. If you were in Melb I'd be keen in checking this out..
  13. Price drop on C-west bonnet to $1100 FIRM. This is a genuine C-west full carbon fibre bonnet, not some crappy chinese fibreglass job.

    pwned! down incline driveways FTL.... unless u have a big ass grated drain at the bottom to redirect the run off water..
  15. See everyone there
  16. Nice work Greg! Shaping up to be a massive event. Great to see events like this being organised... even though I'm not a drift fan, I do like the concept. Drifting as a spectator sport has grown quite large in the last 2 years, bigger crowds attracts more major sponsors which is where the money is Maybe next year you could include a time attack style event or "power race" for some circuit sprint action as well. Would be awesome to have this mixed in with the drifting comp.
  17. Im so envious of you going on this trip!!!
  18. Nismo G-Attack coilovers up for sale again as buyer changed their mind.
