Hi all,

I've just been looking at the Wakefield Park website, and their holding the NSW Drifting Championships there on the 3rd of June. Is anyone going along?

And on a different note, I need to get my ceff engineered in NSW, and I've been recommended to John Wilson of AKZ engineering here in Queanbeyan. Anyone had any dealings with the guy? The one person I know who's dealt with him said he was pretty god, pretty thorough.

Cheers,

Mick

Backed by Toyo, with $1500 for 1st prize. They also have a encouragement award from HSD/Otomoto of $500.

I might enter, if not I might be pit crew for someone else.

I heard John Wilson is not very consistent, but I've never personally dealt with him.

Wilson is tops he engineered my 1600 and gave me heaps of advice on things.. Dickson dont like him tho not sure why but prob cause he engineers heaps of cars and doesnt charge thousands of dollars like the "other two".

John did all my engineering when I brought in a handful of 15 year old R32 GTR's. I can't comment on one off experiences however I found him knowledgable and well priced.

I would have to agree with TeeJay1600 about the Dickson inspectors not holding him in the highest regard. Perhaps because he is in a position where he can and has challenged their interpretation and enforcement of the ADR's.

Never say no to an offer of help >_< Hopefully nothing will go wrong but come and say hi at the very least.

not a prob well i'm on holidays the week leading up to this so yeah plenty of spare time on mine hands so if you can use an extra pair of hands for anything let me know it'd be good to see what sort of work goes into getting the car ready for a drift round i'm hoping to have a good go at it as soon as my car is back (when ever that will be) but with coilovers, button clutch. mech lsd and 260rwkw, i think i should have a car quite suited to it

Sounds like it'll be a beast. It'll be awesome when that gets to the track.

Honestly there's not much to do between now and the day. Now that my week permit is over I'll wind the preload on the front coils back down, probably should do a service. I got my tyres from Jax yesterday (hope 6 rears last me the day).

Might see if I can find out why it wasn't boosting past 0.9bar on the dyno the other day. That's about it. It's a bit of a budget car so there's not all that much to it.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By No1 · Posted

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      At first I thought these were knock offs....

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
