Issue 5 - Aron Lal's Nissan R33 Skyline
Aron Lal is a twenty-three year old Factory Hand from Eagleby and he has dreamed of owning an R33 since he was twelve. Seeing them cruise the local streets only strengthened that hold so when the chance to own one presented itself, Aron didn’t think twice. That was back in 2006 and his purchase was completely stock in the engine department and it only had a set of R34 rims to dress up the exterior.

Issue 9 - Pieter Eversten Nissan S15 200SX
We see a lot of Nissan Silvia’s about town, most of them modified in some way or another. There have been engine conversions of all sorts from the ever popular RB motors to the occasional Toyota JZ motor. This Nissan runs the latter of the two and it does so with endless amounts of aggression. Every aspect of the car spells power with its 700+ horsepower right down to the race seats and roll cage. When you see this baby at a set of lights, be sure you know what you’re getting yourself into before you give ‘the nod’. Pieter Eversteyn is a twenty-five year old mechanic from Springfield. He has his hand in the running of Defiant Motorsports, the builders of this awesome car you see on the page before you. He knows his way around a tool chest but more importantly, he knows what it takes to make his cars extra special. When it came time to give this 200SX the overhaul he went that extra mile to make this car stand out from an increasingly large crowd of high performance Nissan’s. Photos by Just Dave Photography
Issue 6 - Adam Bonsall's VE SSV 60th Anniversary Sedan
In 2008, Adam Bonsall bought a brand new VE SSV 60th Anniversary model in phantom. Soon after, the mod bug bit and the car began a journey of change. In the beginning it was the simple power upgrades including a F1 2.5” catback exhaust, headers, cats, otr and a tune. He also lowered the standard ride height with a set of Pedders XA Adjustable coilovers and added the void buses to the rear.In Australia we have Walkinshaw and Harrop. In the UK, an equivalent is Wortec. Wortec supply all sorts of wonderful treats for the VXR8 and VXR500. In 2008, they released a special car. Taking a black VXR8, they added black GTS rims, painted the massive callipers orange and added an orange stripe down the side. More importantly they added a Harrop 122 Supercharger, bi-model exhaust and lowered it 35mm. This car was called the Carbon Edition.As Aussies, we love to give the Poms a hard time. The recent Ashes loss instilled this even more. Despite the love hate relationship the two countries have, both have done the other favours over time. In 2003 HSV and Vauxhall began an export program where HSV exported a HSV Coupe to the motherland as a VXR500. It was a huge success and in 2008 the E Series Clubsport was exported and sold under VXR as a VXR8.
