Good Day Skylines Australia,

My name is Sahin (translated to Falcon, no joke!). I live on the Northside of Brisbane where i manage the family business, which of course is a Smash Repairs and Mechanical workshop.

I drive a Nissan R33 Skyline which has been in the family for the last 9 years and am currently on my Green P Plates.

I really enjoy drifting! Please check my latest video on Youtube :)

Couple of upgrades had to be made! This vehicle is running a 4 speed AUTO gearbox which will be up for sale soon.

2.5" sports exhaust

Limited Slip Diff (out of a r32 GTT)

Lower Profile KYB Shocks and King Springs

-working on manual conversion...quite expensive

Retrimmed Steering Wheel (black leather with red stitching)

Stock Dash/Surround resprayed to a nice red.

Kenwood Double Din head unit and Fusion 12"sub & amp Pack.

My plans for the car is basically to have it running at full potential until i get off my P Plates.

-Manual Conversion is my next project

-I wouldnt mind getting the front seats re-apolstered Black with red stitching

-Much later in future will be to convert to 5 stud hubs and wheels. Upgrade the brakes to GTR Brakes

The video was taken at Queensland Raceway and if u have the right gear you can jump on the dry track. Which i cant wait to try when i go manual.

yeah you had pretty good control in that skidpan, especially for an auto.

looking real clean though, i dont see many 4drs that look nice but this is certainly an exception. thought about getting some nicer wheels?

good to keep the family tradition going :rofl:

I don't mind the wheels that i have at the moment but i DEFINITLY have thought of getting bigger wheels.The ones that i want are all 5 stud...so unless i run into a nice 4 stud set that i like, im just going to wait till i can afford to convert mine to 5 studs.

My mum used to drive this r33 before i took over, she now drives a R34 4d auto non-turbo.

Dads got a 06' Gto Monaro sitting in the garage and a 93' 180sx that my younger brother gets to drive as he is still on his Learners.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
