"CAMS Chief Executive Officer, Dr Rob Nethercote, announced today that

the range of motor racing events run under CAMS will be expanded by the

end of the year to include new vogue events such as burnouts and

drifting, an initiative welcomed by several Australian circuit owners."

Umm.... what can I say? About bloody time :O

yes, people can already book the track and use it for drift... but.. if your runnign a drift day at the moment, your not covered by CAMS insurance...

try ringing up your local CAMS affiliated track and saying "hi, i want to book your facility for a drift day"

see how far you get with that....

btw... the full press release was at the url i posted too :P

could be done, would be something I would actually like to watch ;)

however I think Ford and holden might winge about it, bathurst being the home of the V8's and all.

might have to get some of those D1 drivers out from japan for a display

I reckon Peter Brock and Dick Johnson would have a heart attach if they saw one of the Japs drifting down the mountain, not to mention with their arms hanging out the windows.

Just think of Darrel Eastlake commentating.........

Dont stone me to death, but i would rather see supercharged GenIII Monaros with Nations Cup kits drifting around. We already see plenty of Jap car/drivers drifting, lets get some local content going.

And whilst the Japs coming here would be cool, id rather see Aussie product & drivers invading their shores with the big Aussie flag on the roof of the cars

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses.

      Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo.

      Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.

      Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
