SABER RACING - Research & Development

In essence, race cars serve as rolling laboratories. They are designed to push the limits of the chassis and engine to the jagged edge while still retaining maximum reliability. It is because of this reason that we are heavily involved in various cutting edge racing categories throughout Australia. Data and feedback obtained from our racing efforts have been an invaluable resource in product development. SABER's success on Australian Drag and Drift tracks has benefited its street-tuning range of products. The lessons learnt while designing and manufacturing parts to handle extreme horsepower, torque and speed requirements have translated to street technology that is not only functional and reliable but also extremely durable and versatile.

Matt Hunt's, Drift specific, Nissan 300ZX was unveiled on the Drift Australia stand at MotorEx, in Sydney on the weekend. Sporting stunning black 17 x 8 inch CSA Spectre wheels and bright Orange and Purple Sureflo Livery, the car was a show stopper. With one admirer concerned that Drifting such a show car would 'get it dirty'. Matt plans to put the 300 through it's paces at Eastern Creek, for Round 3 of the 2006 Toyo Drift Australia Series.
Sureflo Exhaust is also one of our authorised Premium Installation Dealers in NSW, check out their website.

Robbie Bolger’s incredible talent on two wheels has earned him a cult-like following in Australia. Australia’s most outrageous motorcycle stunt rider now pilots one of the most outrageous drift cars ever built, the amazing 900hp Holden Monaro. Its V8 Supercar engine has been bored and stroked to 8-litres and is a crowd favourite. Robbie delighted the V8 fans by taking his first ever Drift Australia Series win at round 2 in Queensland and is currently 2nd on the championship points table.
