Nissan R35 GT-R takes first FIAGT1 victory, Drift Attack Victoria results

The Nissan R35 GT-R has secured it's first GT1 victory last weekend with a win in round three at Portugal, driven by Germans Lucas Luhr and Michael Krumm. Australian David Brabham and Britain's Jamie Campbell-Walter finished third in their GT-R.

Nissan's dominance of Portugal started with all four entered GT-Rs taking the top four positions in qualifying, and then three of them sharing the podium in the qualifying race.

The GT1 series is full of super and hyper cars, including Lambos, Ferraris, Porsches and the like.

Drift Attack Victoria wrapped up on the weekend, and what an event it looked to be! It's great to read about drift events all around the country, it really seems to be picking up once again. For the full thread and results: http://nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=490518

Hello there fellow Fast Four Fans and Rotary Representatives,

Apologies for the amount of time it's taken to make this post. We've had some techical gremlins in the last 24 hours with backing up and updating of servers so the original post was lost. Back we're back up and ready as ever!

The Fast Fours & Rotaries Cruise on Saturday 15th was a huge success, thank you to everyone who faced the early rains and came out for the cruise, it was you guys who made it an event!

It's been such a long time since we've hosted a cruise and with such a successful event, there's not telling what we can come up with next. It's amazing to see pistons and rotaries alike, covering the whole demographic from old-school to new-tech, converging in one location to share our fondness for our rides.

Cuzza Buzza, our birthday boy who recently turned 40 was moved by the number of people who rolled out for his birthday celebrations. He asked for me to share with everyone, "Please tell everyone thanks for coming out, they're allright!", so thanks for making his day guys! Cuzza Buzza (David) is a great friend of ours here at Fast Fours & Rotaries and it's people like him, who highlight to us what's legitimate, bright, and positive about the scene.

We're happy to announce that we raised almost $1000 for our drought affected neighbours in Queensland. This is amazing for a short-notice cruise so thank you everyone for your huge support!

Also we'd like to give a special thanks to our sponsors who came aboard to support the cruise. Without them we wouldn't have been able to get this cruise off the ground. They are:

TurboSmart - Our mate Troy from Turbosmart is always keen to come out for an event and didn't fail to dissapoint! Thanks for your continuing support!

RotorMaster, Gas Motorsport and Titan Motorsports- Unfortunately Joe and the team were unable to make the cruise being caught in a manic time with the Summer Race season revving up. However, they were very generous with inputting into our prize pool!

Mainline Automotive Equipment - Have you ever had your car on a dyno? Chances are it was a Mainline Dyno! Craig was away on a trip however didn't hesitate to support our cruise!

RDA/EBC - It's the first time we've worked with Dennis and it's definitely not going to be the last! Do you folks dig your epically cool travel mugs? You can thank RDA/EBC for them!

StreetWrap - Anthony couldn't make his way out but was keen in supporting our cruise and gave us loads of products to give away.

Motive DVD - We've always been friends with Andrew at Motive DVD, be sure to check out the DVD that was in each show bag

Autobarn Bankstown - Michael Koval made it for the cruise and hung out briefly at the meet point but unfortunately couldn't hang around. Autobarn Bankstown worked together with Motul Oils to chip donations in for the raffle draw

Lachlan Cook Automotive - Locky was the fellow in the highlighter green/yellow Lotus Exige and has been friends with Cuzza Buzza for over 15 years. Like his Lotus? Just wait until you see the rotaries that he builds!

So please make sure you continue supporting the people that are supporting our scene!

A full write-up of the event will be coming out on the Juneissue of Fast Fours & Rotaries Magazine which hits shelves on the 11th of May 2010 so make sure you grab yourselves a copy.

Sunsoaked, windburnt and voiceless, we've returned from an intense 2 days of fury from the MotiveDVD GT-R Challenge and Drag Battle sponsored by Juice Polishes. The event, held at Cootamundra airport is located about 2.5 hours north-west of Canberra. There, over 9 GT-Rs went head to head to see who woul reign as the Godzilla of all Godzillas. Together coupled the Drag Battle, the 2 days of non-stop instensity pitted together some of Australias wildest cars and most well-established workshops.

So why would Fast FOURS magazine be following such an event? Check over the fold to find out!

It's finally here! We had a blast writing up the October issue of Fast Fours and Rotaries Magazine and are proud to present it to you! This month's mag is filled to the brim with some epic content. So make sure you grab yourself a copy!

One of the most memorable things about the Ultimate Tunes JDM Fest would have to be the people. A lot of the folks who rocked up lived in and around the ACT. These guys were legit car enthusiasts, braving the horrible weather to make it out for the event.

Everywhere you go, you'll find that some of the most loved people are the kitchen hands. That was no exception at the JDM Fest as these guys were the ones to keep us warm and fed throughout the cold hungry day. Gale force winds made it difficult to keep everything together at times but these guys were champs and held it all together. Aydan, the dude on the left with the NissanSilvia hoodie asked me to be the subject of an interview for his school project which I found very flattering. Kyle up in front here did a tops job as cameraman.

More pics over the fold

Ultimate Tunes's JDM Fest attracted all sorts of cars some weird, all wonderful. This post contains snapshots of some cars that swung by during the day. There will be a few more that I'll be writing featurettes on over the next week or so. Keep posted!

The Toymods guys really know how to roll in style. This is what we were greeted by when Fonzy and I rocked up into Canberra in the wee early hours of the morning.

More snapshots over the fold

Canberra of course didn't go without some dramatic moments. Show 'n' Shine Veterans Queen Street had a few of their cars join the party. They were able to make the journey to the show 'n' shine without hitch, however some misfortune found its way into their day.

One thing I learned on my trip to Canberra is that car enthusiasts in Canberra are definitely not afraid of a little water. Introduce a little bit of wetness to a meet in Sydney and you can expect disaster, however not in Canberra.

As Fonzy and I arrived, we were warmly greeted by a group from the Toymods forums and Canberra Celica Group. Now these are some keen car guys. Here I am struggling with my umbrella making sure that I'm not drowning in the weather, and some of these guys strut around without any waterproof covering.
