Thanks Gav and that was mainly my doing , John just basked in the glory while I did the hard work:D :)

Top work from you and Michael and as I said , to be able to pull off the big circle/small circle consistently gets my respect..:)

I think the guys in Adelaide might be in for a surprise...

Cheers

they probbly are in for a surprise.. as theyve never seen anyone else drift apart from themselves..

im really itching for some proper race track driving, and 3rd gear..

have only used 3rd gear a few times on the street (read: empty industrial area).

Just a thankyou again for all those that came and spectated/competed.

Was a good day and everyone behaved themselves ( well if you call drifting behaving:D :) ) and am negotiating for the next training day.

Will post a list of people after discussion with John who have qualified for the potential drift demo series next year

The rest will have to speak to me re. further practise.

As for the other thread , I deleted it as it got way too bitchy and we are all here for the common cause, promoting drifting in WA so lets put on a united front please ladies and gentlemen:)

If anyone whores this thread , it goes too:shake:

Cheers

Ken

Great day guys, congratulations to Ken!

You certainly proved your knowledge jumping into seemingly "undriftable" cars and getting them sideways.

Good luck to the guys heading over east, stick it to the JMS boys.

It was good to see low speed drift is all about car control and not big bucks.

The event gave a few new guys a (legal) chance to show off their skills, hopefully this will encourage more guys to attend a few track days and maybe step it up a notch.

I shot some footage, i'll try and get it captured and online soon. Advanced apology to anyone i didn't get on film.

Ken, next you'll have to get the Zig Zag turned into sealed road so we can have Jap style downhill battles !

On a serious note, keep plugging for "potential drift demo series next year", if you need a pile of signatures to prove there's public support let us know. I'm sure there's many on this list and others who could fill a page with signatures.

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
