Extreme motorsport Battle slides into Winton

Drifters revved up to fight for title of Drift Champion in

simultaneous battles both on and off the track.

Saturday, September 8th 2007, sees Winton Motor Raceway play host to this year’s hottest Drift event, the Driftline Drift Attack.

Organised by the Victorian Drift Club, Pro Class and Street class drivers will be competing in fierce rubber smoking battles for the win; fighting hard for a prize pool worth over $5000! With so much at stake, drivers will undoubtedly put on a crazy, heart pumping performance to claim the winnings.

Originating in Japan, Drift is an alternate form of motor sport to the common drag and circuit racing. Described as a controlled slide into oversteer it is carried out through a serious of continuous corners; it’s not a race of time but rather a race of style; like figure skating for cars.

The Driftline Drift Attack event offers spectators the rare chance to strap in for a white knuckle ride with an Australian Pro Drifter in his finely tuned beast, so they can really experience the exhilaration of sideways action first hand.

A must see highlight in the day’s jam packed agenda is the Team Drift Competition; teams of up to 5 cars hit the track simultaneously and aim to mimic one another’s, speed, line and angle creating a compelling display of skill and wits in order to impress the judges and crowd alike.

The Show & Shine display sees a collection of Victoria’s finest pimped cars flaunting their wild paint jobs, pounding audio systems and static visual tricks for the pleasure of patrons to admire and be inspired.

Bragging a Victorian first, the day will also host simultaneous drifting both on and off the track thanks to the Radio Controlled Drift Club battling out a competition for title of RC Drift Champion.

Australia’s leading Drift retailers in parts and accessories are participating at the event in Trade displays, demonstrating and offering first hand advice on their latest products and services for those interested in modifying their car.

With the amalgamation of so much drift related activity in the one spot, this jam packed, action pumping, pimped day is one you don’t want to admit to your mates you missed.

Be there, Driftline Drift Attack at Winton Motor Raceway, Saturday, September 8th 2007. Winton Motor Raceway, 2 minutes off the Hume Highway, 9 km’s north east of Benella Victoria and a mere 1.5 hours North of Melbourne.

Hi Luke.

I'll allow this post to stay for now, however its really not following the forum guidelines.

Its giving free advertising to Driftline (and other sponsors), where they are not a sponsor/trader of SAU.

The policy is such that businesses can advertise, once paying trader/advertising fee's.

Whilst all companies are sponsors, they are still gaining promotion via advertising on this forum to which they are contributing nothing.

(and when hosting was costing nearly 4 figures a month, it adds up fast)

Cheers

    • This is a real nostalgia trip for me, I mean SK Bilsteins? I ran those lol Good times.  Good work Duncan, it's not an easy job in many respects. I'm sure the family appreciates it. 
    • It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!
    • Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.
    • Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.
    • It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
