W1ngnut Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hi ACT guys and gals, My names Sam and just thought I'd finally post up after lingering on the forums for a couple of weeks. Bought a White R33 from an importer in Sydney 2 weeks ago and just passed at the Dickson Motor Registry on Wednesday. It's stock as a rock apart from a cat back exhaust and some 17" rims which i'm looking to replace as I only just noticed that they are using bolt on spacers. I've come from the RS Liberty Club and still currently own my 1992 Subaru Liberty RS which is a pretty wicked beast with many many mods on it. However, I've made the swap back to a Skyline as I'm seeing the skidpan and the motorkhana's run by the MG car club more often than Wakefield (which i set the Subie up for). Looking forward to doing some mild mods on the 33 (nothing major) and seeing some other skylines in action at the khana or skidpan in the future. Cheers Sam Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/190997-new-member-in-act/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIVEC Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Welcome aboard. Gotta see some pics! If you're interested I've got a set of rims lying around in the garage I could sell you.

Michele Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Welcome Sam, its good to see you 'come out' rather than lurking and of course we want pics (we always do) You will have to come out to the Museum one of these nights and catch up with us all. The hillclimb is on tomorrow at Sutton Road... if you swing by for a look, don't forget to come say hi to us, just look for the Skylines.

W1ngnut Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Thanks for the warm welcome people :-) MIVEC depending on what you have lying around, will see what we can work out, got any pics of them? LadyBytes what happens at the museum at nights? I've been on some cruises with some Canberra clubs and they tend to be a little too...out of hand. a20089, the skidpan on the 11th i'm assuming you are talking about... I'm actually entered in on the Northrop session which is the session in the afternoon from you guys. Might have to come out and watch you all to get psyched up (although i don't need much encouragment), if you want to see me and my subie in action, check out fifthgears promo vid, i'm the one smoking it up in the middle of the track.

No one here is out to prove anything, its rare.Welcome, pics? ^^^ wot he said... and the Museum is a friendly, well behaved, get together and chat about where/how/why all things Skyline - Oh and I try to sh!t stir where I can, but no hooning. I'm going to try and organise a Friday night cruise and soccer game one of these Fridays once I know we can use the footy fields.

W1ngnut Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 race_snooze - I was after a Series 2 specifically. As well as a completely stock standard one for Skidpan, Motorkhana and hill climb events only. S04R3R - Was wondering where you were at mate! Congrats on pickin up the skyline soon mate. We both know that we will regret moving on from the RS's as they are awesome cars, but I found more Pro's than Con's with the R33 to not go down the path.

CeJay Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Don't know if this is either of you, but I remember being at the skidpan one day and one of the subie guys with a liberty with the plates "RS" was going nuts on the skidpan, pretty impressive Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/190997-new-member-in-act/#findComment-3441228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

W1ngnut Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Hoping to CeJay. Had heaps of fun with the RS but I was sick of breaking a sweat so much... Hopefully I'll have this FMIC thing sorted for the 11th... dunno what to do yet..
