Yeah you dont need to practice for the events, we are not racing for sheep-stations, 99% of the guys are just out there for the fun of it... in reality the whole series is just a heap of practice days leading up to the state and national champs each year, thats about the only time we get really serious - and even then your only racing for a $10 trophy.

We regularly get people out there that have never driven a car before, no one is going to make you feel un-welcome if you don't do complete a perfect handbrake turn every time (or even one in the whole day), we also don't care if you stuff up the course - you just have to be seen to be trying to complete it to the best of your ability. If you get lost half way round just head for the finish gate - as long as you dont do a series of donuts on the spot between when you get lost and when you get to the finish gate you wont be spoken to by the officials.

Your better off doing your learning at an event, guys will be there to help you out if your having trouble with your technique (or car set up, simple things like tyre pressure make a big difference), and at most events you can ride shotgun with one of the regulars, or ask one of them to jump in with you for some pointers.

wooot!!

been discussing with the missus bout the possibility of me building a track car for motorkahnas and drift pracs

to my amazement she is pretty supportive!

so, my hunt begins for a manual 31

my mate rocco, the owner of skyline city imports also offered to help me in the build in return for some

panel spaces..

just gotta watch my budget

I must say Chad man you got some skill. Good work.

What gear where you using? 1st or 2nd?

Cheers mate :blink: I think we both did pretty well for our first time out. Cant wait to get out there again :P

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.  
    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
