Hey guys i'm not sure if this has been done before, but it was just like a lil idea i came up with. I love drifting and i love cruising so why not combine the two together and cruise up to the drifts.

Round 3 is on the 19th of April. So gives me feedback on wat u think, and also good meet points for a Saturday afternoon.

________________________________________________________________________________

1st meet point will be at Mandurah @ the old House Works at 11am and depart at 11.30.

2nd meet point will be in Freo @ Eshed markets at about 12.30 depart at 1pmish depending on the traffic.

3rd meet point will be in Perth @ City West at about 1.30pm, then we'll head to the drifts with a couple of other stops.

This cruise will end at the drifts so eveyone can stay as long as they want.

Cheers and lookin forward to seein many of you there.

Im as big a drift nut than most of the ppl on here, only problem i see with cruise to the drifts is last event was really poor, not many decent cars out there and the efforts of that 300zx just made me yack! good idea but it seems wa drifting is not as good as last year... no offence intended at all to anyone, just my two cents.

Is it just me or are the good WA drifters moving to SA?

But hey, good idea, just not sure of the turnout, i would say yes but after last event im just not that keen eh...

Fair enough, thanks for the feedback tho. Thats why i'm askin in advance coz i dont wanna bother if it gonna be a shit turnout. But keep watch and u may be surprised lol ppl may actually come. I will be running it with Club Motovate, our turn out on saturday was pretty big. i think we had about 40 cars, all performance and all imports except for an XR6 Turbs who came along for the ride.

I'm gonna post it on other sites ie Aus300zx, Tuned WA, Antilag etc and see wat their responses are like.

Cheers

Mate, regardless people are still going to be interested in cruising so if it ends at the drift point its a win win for everyone, if your so confident in your drifting you should forward your application also and take some of there spots who drift "poor"

Clint.

I think it would still be ok, even if the standard of drifting isnt spectacular in wa, i think just the general awareness of the sport will be good to see, I for one have never watched drifting live so maybe "amatuers" will still be good for me. Plus the cruise is still there also, I think its a good idea mate, Maybe just limit our time there so we get a good taste and enjoy it without getting bored and keep cruising? Just an idea.

Yeah tru, maybe stay there for 2 hours, and then head off. Try get a time scheduele happening. I got there at about 2.30 last time and it was the last couple of runs which were the best of the lot anyways. We dont really need to see the qualifying. We could have a bit of a look around at the cars n a bite to eat too.

Any drifting is good for me, i'm hopefully goin to Japan in May, so i'll be able to witness REAL drifting haha.

Mate was i shitting on wa drifting at all??... NO.... mearly stating that last event this year was not as good as last year... by "POOR" i mean not many numbers!! key word here..."Seems" wa drifting is not as good as last year... last year was awesome!!

But anyways, as stated b4, that was just my opinion... Now can i have a hug??...lol

AGAIN!!... NO OFFENSE INTENDED!!

The major problem i see here is that after the drift is all over wouldn't ur tyres be all shot? and i do not think it will be safe to go back on the streets "yellow" City?!

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
