if you're not used to driving on the right, you don't want to try and concentrate on the road other drivers and streetsigns (something we take for granted) while getting used to shifting with your left hand in a car like a skyline.

Also what you guys call an Acura TL seems to be a Accord Euro over here, and they're very different cars to a Skyline. All the more reason to get used to driving in Australia in a regular, not so fast and potentially dangerous car before stepping up to a Skyline. You can use this time to import one straight from Japan.

Most of our sponsors are in the importing scene.

Learing to drive using my left hand to shift will be a challenge.

The Acura is much faster then the Honda Euro.

My HP is 258 and I SC is pushing out 300HP at the wheels.

I am ready for the skyline my question am I ready for driving a Skyline like you said on the right side shifting with my left hand????

Hey when I get there watch out...LOL

Is drifting taking off there..

Do you guys have SEMA there????

yeah drifting has been pretty popular for a while here..

its not the easiest thing swapping the side of the rd you drive on.. you will look at the wrong side of the road for street signs, turning can be a bit awkward at times if you dont pay enough attention you will turn to the wrong side of the street it takes a while to get used to at first.. i always drive an auto when i got the states lol

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
