With Pearl under wraps for most of the year, Jay and his  R33 decided to attend the latest JDMYard trackday with our good friend the 00-YEZZ Turbo Mirage. The Fridge only managed to break a swaybar mount this time around, the PB unfortunately will have to wait till next time when new MCA X-Series coilovers are fitted as only a …

Three days under the scorching Sydney sun didn’t do my skin any favours. If anything, it left me with a horrible shirt tan that will forever stain my summer image and probably take most of next year to even out (yep still there). “Was it worth it though?

Distributing torque to both wheels equally is a must for putting that power to the ground whilst also maintaining control of the vehicle’s ability to be steered in the desired direction.

Waiting eagerly in my garage was my pride and joy Sky (SKY-180), a recently acquired 180SX with R32 GTS-T running gear and a RB20DET making about 170kw atw. Although she was an impulse buy due to massive turbo withdrawals, Sky’s primary goal was to do blisteringly quick lap times at the track. Her first appearance at the track would be …

It was my 34th lap around Trial Mountain and I was getting frustrated as to why my lap times were not getting significantly better.
