Majanal

I'm gueesing he is NSW also? Best place to start out is on the Initial Drift Website. they are the major organisers in NSW. their website will give you most of the answers. Any that you don't get, come back and ask, I might be able to help! Dan.

Sold them already mate... Sorry. Added some new parts today also.

Can I ask why your selling the Q45? I have a Z32... might be possible, but in Sydney though. Coming to Melb in August if that helps.

I will take the gearbox if you will seperate.

Where are you located?

Nice one Kinks!!! Post up some pics when you get it. Richard, end of next month... as it says in the last line of the post... but more specifically in case that was what you meant... 29th and 30th of July. See you all then!

Well a good weekend... lots of positives, the extra power is helping, and the set up is coming along. Smashed the front bar to bits on Saturday during Team Drift... never mind... Sunday saw me up agains Kelly McKinnon, It was pretty tight first battle, but unfortunatly my handbrake got stuck on in the second battle and I spun... real bugger as I certainly had a chance... guess that is being chucked in the bin this week and replaced with a proper drift hand brake... Team drift was fun, although a big smash saw the session canned after only one run. Can't wait for Eastern creek at the end of next month... new turbo and a whole lot more incoming... stay tuned! Dan.

PM's replied guys.

Yep, I'm sure there are more out there... but it is a great start!

Great Work Gang!!! Keep em coming!

I'll have a look for you today mate.

And I left the Graph at Bel. Gotta give a huge rap to Jamie at Waterhouse Auto Care, The car is taking a belting straight out of the box and thus far is taking every last bit of it. Even Bel are impressed with the numbers we are pulling with such a fresh engine. Just goes to show that using the right tolernces make a big difference... So yeah, if your within 50kms of Penrith... get out and see Jamie. (4721 7227) Dyno runs on Sunday produced 206rwkw and 746nm of torque, the AFR was between 10.9 and 11.1, so still pretty rich there, a little more tuning and we should see 230rwkw and 750nm torque before we strap on the new turbo in a couple of weeks, thank to GCG for all there help with that... Bring on 280rwkw of tyre fryin powar!!! We are off to QLD Thursday night for round 2... totally out of cash, but hey... we have scrapped by before and will do it again..., then a round in NSW to recover before we head to Tassie! Can't wait to carve it up at QR on Friday... meight even get to look a bit at suspension set up. Take it easy kids, and stay sideways, Dan.

That does look good. Nice Job mate!

I am selling the with the bar, which should be going in the next 2 weeks. They came with the bar, might try jsut jap or SSS automotive?

Hi Mate, Engine has done 90,000kms since I bought it, and 170,000 is on the car. The engine was very strong, Fatz drove it the last day it was running and said that all it needed was a bigger turbo... actually the only reason I pulled it out was because we had the bigger engine pretty much done, and I am really not 100% sure I want to sell it, as I'm thinking about keeping it as a spare engine if I lunch this one. Overall condition... it always got serviced less than 5000kms, I always run top oils, make sure that it is running good fuel and looked after it extreamly well, I was getting all the stuff through sponsorship... Never ran more than 0.8bar of boost. Never had a problem with the engine, except for a cracked exhaust manifold, that is it. Engine was sealed before I took it out of the car. Let me know if you want some other info, or more specific info. Cheers, Dan.

I actually got some dyno graphs... and left them on the table on Sunday to show the boys when they came around... I would love to claim that one of them knocked their beer over on it and recked them... but it was me... and worst thing was it was when I was only on my first beer!!!! Must have been too sober : LOL! Anyway, it'll be back on the dyno on Sunday... I'll try and get a print of a power run then and scan it. Oh, and we found that the vairable valve timing wasn;t working... this might have been effecting the top end a little, certainly felt better after it was fixed, but still needs more! Dan.

I'll see how broke I am after the trip to QR... but I am keen to take the new beast for a spin... might even grab a set of semi's and come play...

Prices dropped even further.

Hey Guys and Girls, We make every second year a "members and their guests" year... we have to have some benifit for our members... and hey, it ain't that expensive to join up for a year... Cheers, Dan.

And Replied!

I would say in order you would want. 1. 1.5 or preferable 2 way LSD (Check if road legal in your state) 2. Manual Transmittion (It is possible to drift an auto, but much harder) 3. Nice stiff coil over suspension, 7kg/mm minimum springs and preferable adjustable shocks. 4. Engine maintanence, oil, fluids, filters and check brakes (including handbrake shoes) BEFORE every trip to the track. Cheers, Dan.

I just might be interested in this, what flange does it have?

Yeah Bel are coming on board in a quite big way, they have spent plenty of time with the car, so that is good. In fact just through tuning it last week they have managed to get 25% more top end and another 50nm of torque without upping boost!!! Actually upping boost did really nothing, we gained 4rwkw and 30nm of torque with a 0.3 bar increase... now lets strap that bigger huffer on the side and see what happens! Had to laugh when I saw the power curve though... shoots straigh up to 197kw by about 3000rpm and basically sits flat all the way to 7000rpm... as for the torque... it is at around 750nm by 2200... gold!!! Now we have to decided if we go a 30/37 or a 35/40... at this stage we are going to look at the 30/37 with a 38mm external wastegate on a custom manifold... don't think it will be in until after QLD though... as that is only 2 weeks away! :0 Oh, and thanks for getting my AFR around the right way... I hate going by memory.

Price drop on some parts, and some added.
