Well I had a heap of fun, and I hope you all did too! There were about 3 people that came without RC's because they'd broken them... oh well! Next time!

Everyone seemed pretty happy with the location, even though it was a bit of a drive for some. It is out of the way, noone complains, and noone will ask us to move on.

This, and qwux has a small supply of track-making equipment (along with my newfound collection of nursery plant pots), which makes it much better than just freestyle drifting.

Someone took photos, so i'm sure they will put them up, and the video will be up in a little while! (on the SRCD forums)

Future RC drifting will be announced on the SRCD forums, and not on SAU, so be sure to sign up if you're keen for the next one!

Yeah, this meet was very good I must say... nice to see members organizing stuff outside of the usual circle of things ;)

Sorry I couldn't stay, as mentioned, just started a new business and had to attend to that. Will make more of an effort for the next meet :(

OK; after going to this meet and speaking with a few mates I've decided to invest some pennies in a new RC car ;)

HPI RS4 Evo3 - Base Car

Stage D Kit - Turns Base Car into Drift King

I can't believe I'm going to spend $800 on a toy!

Disappointed... went into Hobbyco in the city and told them I wanted not 1 but 3 of the same kits! They said they sold out about 2 weeks ago!!!

And get this, to bring them in from the states, it's going to cost me $150 more each!!!! f**k THAT!

Damn Americans and their expensive overatted products! But you guys have to go watch that video on their site, it'll make anyone want this toy car!

good day. great fun

dingo again sorry bout your car, but remeber i wasnt driving it then.

hahahah I dont blame anyone but me for the crash. My cars a p.o.s anyhow. Next event ill just put maccas trays under the rear wheels of the charade :lol:

Try Rc hobbies on Parra road at Petersham. They stock alot of HPI stuff and are a bit cheaper that HobbyCo. Or just order direct from their site www.rchobbies.com.au.

Guys, yes, we still do meets, and it's all organised on the SRCD forums:

http://srandy.com:82

That URL is temporary until the proper domain name is usable.

Meets, and RC drift discussion happens here.

We were in Bankstown two weeks ago!

Next meet will probably be on the Northern Beaches, then somewhere halfway between Bankstown and the NB.

We're also looking at doing an event at Windsor RC track, and possibly entering in this years AutoSalon RC drift.

    • Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo
    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
