What an awesome event/day!!!!!!

Big thanks to all the DD team, D1 instructors and Jarrod (R32Big_boy) for all the cool pics with his huge ass professional camera gear, that CD is worth every dollar mate. Thanks guys for giving up a Saturday arvo to teach us want-to-be drifters how the job is done :)

Waiting in anticipation for the next one!! So Kev get the ball rollin' mate :)

Luke (nutr33) time for you to hit winton, with the vicdrift mob, your farm learnt skills are wasted at a training day.

To those that are SAU VIC members hope to see you all at the next SAU DECA day, just as much fun, with more room to play :(.

Hey all,

My name's John, I was at the drift day today, but I was one of the few people not driving a Skyline, I was driving the old BMW M5. I gotta hand it to you guys, I do heaps of track days with Driver Dynamics, and there are always more Skylines (mostly SAU members) than any other model of car, it's good to meet other people that share my passion for this stuff.

Met some new people today, and caught up with a lot of people that I had met before too.

This was my first drift day, although I did a skidpan day with Driver Dynamics out at Attwood a few years ago. I learnt heaps today, still got heaps more to learn so can't wait till the next one.

Anyway, just popped by to say hi, hope to see some of you guys again soon at another track day

Cheers

John

PS DVSMUM., I forgot to tell you something important about the camera that I had mounted on my car, the sound quality is not good at all unfortunatly, check my youtube vids to see what I mean. Ibeleive that they have released a newer model that has better sound, but I've never used it so I don't know. Next time, I might try drilling a hole in the waterproof case and see if that helps the sound at all.

What a great day, I didnt drive but helped out a little bit, was great to see everyone having such a great time, and everyone behaving themselves so well. Well done to Kev and the team and all the DA guys instructing.

Oh.....that black M5 is pure sex on wheels, love it.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
