We are back with another beginner's training night. After the success and great feedback from the first training night, we have decided to hold another as requested by many people. This will be open to complete beginner's for their first on track experience, through to slightly experienced/been to archy a few times but wants to advance their skills. We are organising a drift day that will have a maximum of 16 drivers which will be supervised by 8 'pro level' instructors.

Instructors:

Josh Newson

Sam Holz

Dan Jorgensen

We will be running the track simular to last time, starting with a walk around the track to highlight points that should be made aware of and the corners etc, followed by donut spots and figure 8s to get a handle on the throttle control. Once the drivers feel they are ready they will move up into practicing the corners (except turn 1 as donuts will still be taking place there until later in the evening). By the end of the night, the drivers are encouraged to attempt linking the corners with a continuous drift with the assistance of some helpful advice and pointers from our instructors.

Most of the instructors will also be bringing their own cars out on track to give you the opportunity to jump in with them and see what they do (eg. when they use handbrake, clutch kick, entries and exits to the turns, etc.) As every instructor will be taking care of only two drivers throughout the day, they will be able to monitor your progress and note areas that need improving.

It will be held on Monday 17th November from 5-8pm. We are now able to start taking pre-entries. First 16 payments received will have guaranteed positions on the night.

Cost will be $100 per driver which will cover the cost of 2 pit crew. No other spectators will be allowed entry as it is a beginner's day and the focus is on the driving not the crowds.

This will be a great day that shouldn't be missed by anyone that is wanting to get into drifting with a head start above the rest. You can pre-enter on the online form at the top of this page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself on [email protected].

** ANY DRIVERS WISHING TO BE INSTRUCTORS OR HELP OUT ON THE NIGHT PLEASE PM ME**

Please note this evening has been postponed due to the weather - there would be parts of the track under water which doesnt make for a good time to learn. We will keep you posted with the new date asap!!! Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hey guys,

We now have a new date - Monday 8th December. Everything will remain the same as described on the first page except for the date change. We still have around 5 (maybe less) places available - this is the perfect opportunity for anyone who has been putting off getting into drifting to finally take the leap and get out on track!! Also great for drivers who have had some experience but want to sharpen their skills. For any information or questions you may have, feel free to PM me or email me at [email protected].

Please note pre-payment is essential! If you have any troubles arranging this, please speak to me PRIOR to the date. Thanks.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
