Before you think WTF is a commo doing here, It is more nissan than anything else.

Holden

5.7 gen3 with 6 speed tremec

passenger seat & steering wheel.

Nissan

S14 rack

S15 front hubs

Bilstiens with S13 camber tops

R33 calipers, and master

R33 clutch master

R33 cradle, hubs etc.

Nismo GT-Pro

Tien rear coilovers.

R33 GTR sway bars.

We took it to The King of drift event at QR on Sunday. It wasn't great, but was respectable. Its so f**king heavy, just slides way past the clipping point. I think 1/2 the problem was putting 18's on it for the day. Someone made a mistake and got 18's instead of 17's, lucky we had a set of rims to put them on. It felt like there was lots less grip from the 18's. Any how it was heaps of fun to drive.

First Job of the day was to make sure that everyone had big offset, low skirts, RAUCOUS EXHAUST NOTE..... most passed

Some times Jedi mind control is needed "I'm a 180.....No Police Car here"

Track testing for driftability and safety is a prime concern at any event

that is awesome!!. even better if it was actually police force sanctioned

Funny thing is, it is.

It belongs to "Operation Drag" which is a part of Blue Light.

The aim of th car is part of youth at risk program which is runs in Warwick. Basically the kids enrolled in a Cert 1 mechanical course, they get to learn and work on the drift and drag cars. If they are performing well they get to come to these events as pit crew. A lot of the work that goes into building it has been voluntary and has taken about 3 years to get it to this point. The Birth of this thing has had a long teething process but, Its pretty well sorted now. Now we need to find a Police Officer that has the right credentials to learn to drift it. Thats the goal any way.

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
