Applications were called for from drifters who wanted to enter the Drift Australia series, and if you are approved then you are classed as a "Level 1 Seeded driver" for the whole Drift Australia Championship. There are only 28 spots, with 4 spots being reserved for wild card entries. I'm Doing the Toyo Drift Australia Series. I competed in the Superdrift series last year, although it was called Formula Drift last year. Thanks mate... is comming together!

Hey Pav, I'm going to be running Tein - Super Drift suspension this season. It is a 7kg/mm spring front and rear, which I am interested to know if it will be stiff enough, has pillow mounts and all adjustable. Apart from that I will be only running adjustable caster arms. Dan.

No idea.... But planning to paint the car next week... finally! I had no idea how long it takes to prep a car for painting. And then put it back together... first track shakedown will be at Oran Park on the 29th of April.

How come the motorsport section doesn't give me emails when I reply to a thread, same with the motorsport subsections.

Lost :confused:

Is that "Racin" Jason your talking about Buster?

Who me? err yep!

Good job, thanks Jon!

What Micheal says id pretty close to the mark. If it is a Daily driver I would suggest against the aftermarket LSD, if it is a mechanically locking diff, as firstly they are illegal in some states, NSW I'm am pretty sure is one. A nice tight viscous one will do the trick, or even a new Nissan one. Aside from that, you should be able to learn to drift with a pretty stock car, but you will eventually be able to outdrive your car. Learn some techniques for drifting, clutch kicking, handbrake entries, use lower gears until you get the angles to go up cogs. Stock cars can be drifted, if you drive accordingly, and to be honest I am glad I have learnt to out drive my old car set up first, because it has given me a greater understanding of how to drift and I have learnt lots of ways to get it slideways and hold it out! If you have any specifec questions please throw them up... I will be happy to try and answer them. Dan.

Make sure you put a link in here... I might buy a new helmet this season also.

Kennedy, Official timing and guidance from senior members is probably the biggest thing. The days we do we actually insist that new drivers go out in the more experienced members cars and also have the more experienced members come with them in their cars. The reason that no speed limit days are so cheap is because you don't get any of the tutoring, lap timing, you usually find that the track owner is sitting in the recovery vehicle, there is no limit on number and type of cars that can attend, and no grouping of cars so you have fast and slow sessions. When we hire the track they charge us more too, I believe that the Oran Park GP Circuit is $4500 just to hire, then you need medical crew and recovery vehicles also. And pit garages are extra again. So you can see that to split that between 40 odd cars we don't make any money from these days, this is why we need to ask what you guys want. So many people are scared of hitting a wall, I have as many of you know, but I was drifting very hard and pushing right to the limit, I knew that I should take a few laps of rest because the tyres were red hot and I didn't, I knew that I had pushed too far 50m before I hit the wall, and I had time to correct myself enough that I hit with the back of the car... and only just, so that there was less damage and the engine was not hurt. There won't be drifting at these days, except maybe a Demo by some of the national guys as far as I am aware, so you won't be going anywhere near that limit of the car. The best thing about skylines is the amount of "feel" you have when you are driving them. You know 4 laps before you go off that your tyres are getting hot and slippery, it then becomes up to you to say, if I back off for two laps I should be able to get a few more hot laps in before my session finishes, or if not at least my car is nice and cool and back to normal operating temp before I pit in. I have never used 50% of my front tyres at any race track, even at the Drift meetings, in fact I did 4 rounds in a row on the same set of fronts, and only changed them because I wanted fresh tyres for the last round. I had used these fronts for practice days in between also. Before I was drifting I found that I could run a set of tyres for about 3 to 4 track days with driving approximatly 10,000 road km's as well. The trick I found was to run them on the road for a some kms before taking them to the track, "scrubbing" them I guess, but not giving brand new tyres a flogging from the word go. I have also done 100,000 kms in my car and I would say that between 40,000 and 50,000 of those were track kms, I have a total of one warped exhaust manifold, which again was from pushing the car too hard on a hot day and I knew that I was. To prep for the track I spanner check my car, make sure all the suspension, engine bits and stuff is tight and no leaks. I change the oil and oil filter, fuel filter, and clean my air filter. I also run octaine booster with my 98 ron fuel just to be sure. I check all fluid levels and also my Brake pads. For anyone that wants a top mechanic then I can't recomend Jamie Waterhouse from Waterhouse Auto Care at Penrith 4721 7227 enough. He has always done a great job on my cars and works on alot of rally, race and drift cars. Anyway guys, Keep up the chat, and I hope that my post helps you all a bit. Remeber if you can save up and support the club days then we will run more of them Cheers, Dan.

Interesting discussion peeps, keep it coming! Dan.
