They measure the ride hight with a little tool they cary round in their patrole cars. It is a stick with a 100mm/4" wheel on the end of it. They then try to wheel it under every part of the car. If the wheel hits the car then it is less that 100mm in ride height so your car is too low. We call it the wheel of fortune because every time you hear it hit your car you think BING thats gonna cost me. As for my tyres, my back ones always have less tham 3mm of tread on them so thats the first thing the cops get me for.

Im am looking at putting gtr guards back on the front and 40mm pumped guards on the rear and a BN kit all round. Should look PHAT. Im looking at some US wheels called intro wheels. you can have up to 7" of dish on the wheels, Yeah.

When you get defected you get a big yellow sticker on the front windscreen and it basicaly says get your car home and dont take it out on the road unless you are getting it repaired so it is fit for the road.

You then need to adress all the problems that the cops found and get a road worthy slip which costs $100.

To my knowlege you cant get defected too many time. It will get expensive having to take your car to get road worthied all the time and the cops usall fine you for driving a car not suitable for the roads. It doesnt afected your licence points.

The tracks in OZ are great. South Australia has the best for drift. It has a 3rd gear limiter entry which is so much fun.

Yes the S14 is hot it is owned by James Valhomus from D1 Garage. My team mate is Travis Dunstan from Full Lock. He drives a S13 which is fairly stock apart from every product whiteline suspension has on ther shelves. Pink bit is owned by James's brother Danny Valhomus from Japaneese Motor Sport (JMS) him and James don really speak.

S14 where brought in by Nissan Australian as where the S15 but not the S13.

The pic I posted was from Mallala the sick track in South Australia back in May 2004.

It was a while ago. I formed Night Garage about 7 years ago and we had chapters in the US, Japan, & Australia. Many of the members have moved on to different things..myself included, but many still run the stickers here and in Japan. Haha, I think PG's takes the cake though in it's rosey pink hue! I prefer a weighted knob myself..those are too light and funny to drive with..but still I dig em'!

[markeese180sx]

did you do the manual swap yourself and did you do the ebrake conversion yourself? i hate how c33s come with the crappy ebrake

[andylaurel]

no the car came already converted to manual...
The ebrake (handbrake in australia) is simply a skyline handbrake assembly bolted to the floorpan. you just drill two holes in the floor, get some long bolts and solid mount it...
i cant take credit for any mechanical work on this car it came from Japan as is.
I only put on the wheels (it came with 15 inch) and drove it.
I plan to leave the motor stock as i have found (through previous experience) that modified motors are not reliable enough for low budget drifters such as myself.
Instead i will focus on aesthetics to impress the judges (i have just imported a BN Sports kit) and suspension work (such as solid mounting the rear cradle, adjustable suspension links and so on)
The motor is the 2 litre single turbo straight six known as the RB20det and produces 160 odd kilowatts (or 215hp in the old money)
It has a dual core radiator for cooling purposes and is quite underpowered but fortunately the inertia carried by the laurel helps maintain corner speed.
I cant wait to have her looking as good as she can!!!

as for drifting on the Gold Coast, the earliest team that i know was the original "038 Powerz" with Masaya Takahashi (yellow 32), Presley, Gibbsy(white sil80), Mick(white 180sx), Josh (86).
As for before that it would be before my time...

[andylaurel]

drifting has a unique filter...
money.

[drifterd]

hey mlmsilvias14 were did you get that gauge pod for the dash of your s14? i have been looking for something like that forever for mine.

[CrazyHawaiian]

I dunno, do you really need that much money to drift? Yeah people look at me weird when they drive by and spot me in the tire trash bin, but so what. hahaha!

[mlmsilvias14]

Drifterd,
They are three seperate carbon fiber autometer pods, they make them in 2 1/4" and 3" I believe and run about 40 or 50 bucks.

[drifterd]

oh ok it looked like it was all one pod in the dark. i was like i need that. cuz i know that they make them fot the rigth hand drive but they face the other way. not much use for us, lol.

anyway thanks

[mlmsilvias14]

No problem, You might look on ebay and be able to find something like that though?

[racer555]

My fairlady, not the easiest to drift but damn fun!!!

[kairles]
