After a massive year of drifting throughout Tasmania and Victoria, and with the preparations for Drift Challenge in December well underway, here is a small video Nick and myself from GT Garage have pieced together. The video displays a small sample of my driving abilities with out and in car footage from events this year. The video also showcases the the large scale change the car has undertaken since the vehicles purchase in almost 100% stock form in June 2004 to its current guise as a dedicated drift car.

Please feel free to click on the link below to view the video:

I would like to thank the following businesses for their ongoing support:

- Tasmanian Mobile Mechanics

- Highway Crash Repairs

- La Bella Pizzeria

- Federal Tyres / Goodyear Hobart

Without their help over the past year I would not have been able to achieve what I have achieved.

I would also like to thank the following for providing footage and photographs for the video:

- Adam Sutton (www.agsphotos.com)

- Alec (Nova Photography)

- www.loaded.net.au

- Heavy Hamilton

Lastly a big thank you to my business partner Nick for the production of the video and the tuning of the car.

The car will be competing at Drift Challenge in December 16 at Calder Park Raceway, which will be arguably the biggest drift event ever held in Australian drifting history. If your business is interested in using the vehicle as a means to promote your brand name feel free to contact myself on 0408782632, via email at [email protected] or simply send a PM on this site to obtain a copy of my personal drifting portfolio.

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.

      Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.

      Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".

      Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
