Sydney/NSW Drift academy/school day recommendations

Does anybody use this forum anymore? Lol -
Sydney/NSW Drift academy/school day recommendations
Sparky_S13 posted a topic in Australia - New South Wales
Hi guys, Any recommendations of a drift day I can do here in Sydney/NSW? I haven’t had a drift car for 2 years now and I have been living in Sydney for coming up a year now and I need to feel the buzz of drifting again without having my own car as I’m not quite in the position to have one yet. I’m not interested in doing donuts around cones, figure of 8’s etc looking for more advanced stuff maybe a half or full day. Willing to travel for the right experience and make a weekend of it. Thanks Lewis -
Tuning garages/WTAC or other Motorsport outlets around Sydney
Sparky_S13 replied to Sparky_S13's topic in Australia - New South Wales
I'd love my own shop tbh maybe one day Off back to the UK for 8 weeks soon but when I am back I will be continuing the search for a job in the tuning world -
Thanks man! Been loving Oz so far, see loads of S-Chassis on the road which is really cool, very rare site in the UK unless going to meets/track etc

Sorry only just seeing this, My Bachelor degree is Motorsport Design and Engineering, was a very fun course! Elec Eng is a very good profession to be in, I have been in Sydney 10 weeks now and I am struggling to find Automotive Design jobs, going home for a few months soon though so will have a better look when I come back.

SPOTTED- White Type X in Royal National Park on Sunday
Sparky_S13 posted a topic in Australia - New South Wales
Been in Sydney for 2 weeks now, seen a few S-chassis around the inner west mostly S15's. But yesterday I seen the holy grail. White Type X with White Buddy Club P1's possibly. Bet you have some fun on those roads around the National Park -
A fully optioned stock 180sx type x with all its body kit intact will be worth 30k in 5 years.
Sparky_S13 replied to s15rocket's topic in General Automotive Chat
Don't know where you got 30k from in 5 years but there's not doubt they are going up. Badly want a Type X next but not for the reason of appreciation. -
So sick, I want a white Type X, well I would settle for any colour tbh haha

I will probably get back into a bit of cardio in the new year but yea I tend to do a lot of uphill stuff, high intensity workouts again to promote fat loss Some good/different exercises there mate will see if its possible to give some a go
-
I never got down to my 85kg goal as I got bored of cardio and I have been back on the weights about 8 weeks now, weighed in last week at 90kg so starting to put a little bit of muscle mass back on. 4 weeks ago I was 89.5kg and was highly disappointed with my physique but since then I feel even leaner and look better for it. I'm on my 3rd week of training high reps. Currently doing 20 reps and 4 sets of 6 different exercises (one muscle group) at half the weight I would do 10 reps. Its ALOT harder and find myself fatigued a lot more in an effort to promote fat burning and get a final rip on ready for when I come to Oz (6 weeks to go )

Blew 2 Headgaskets in 2 weeks
Sparky_S13 replied to 2JZ-S14A's topic in Nissan Silvia (nissansilvia.com)
Fair enough bud I bought a 2nd hand SR22, full Brian Crower stroker. Fitted it and it was white smoking really bad. Immediately ripped the head off and got it skimmed pressure tested and new Tomei gasket. Put it all back together and started it the day before mapping and it was still the same! Had to tear it back down and fully rebuild the motor as the cylinder liner was split on number 1, hopefully this isn't the case for you but its worth checking if you end up taking the head back off -

Was the head skimmed and pressure tested? I always do this when removing a head especially if it lifted
