Will throw them up when I get home, can't do shit at work. It was only the wet track though, real last minute thing aye (pulled the shaft out at 3pm, drifting started at 5). Should be able to hit up the big big track (Eastern Creek itself) in a few months time hopefully.

I took my 1 week old Stagea drifting on Friday night at EC.

Rock up to the gates, 1st security guard asks if I was spectating, I said "nah, I'm drifting". Security guard 1 pauses and then says ok and lets me through.

drive down to the pitlane and security guard 2 asks if I was spectating, I gave him the same reply, Security guard 2 was stunned and asked "YOUR DRIFTING THAT THING?!" my reply was, "yep, just watch me" ;) And I did just that, drifted a stock, automatic Stagea ... it was good fun! :teehee:

That was an interesting video a while back where the Japanese guy was drifting an auto. He had the foot/handbrake set up so he could left foot the rears.

yeah, I know which one your talking about ... he used a cigerette packet to wedge the brake release didn't he? I did that too haha. I've never really used handbrake as a form of initiation before though. My Mazda's handbrake was shithouse (as they are). Don't really need the handbrake for the wet pan, just power out and hold on!

Oh yeah, theres some pictures of me sliding the boat on my website, which happens to be in my sig.

edit: work likes my site now ... cool.

I've had my C34 for about a month now and had plenty of "WTF is that?", "look at the Skyline wagon", "Nice Volvo mate" (mainly from the guys at work giving me shit) but today I got my first "What make of car is that?" from a guy delivering junk mail. To which I replied, it's a Nissan. Then he says "looks like half a hurse, looks good in black though!" I don't think I'll ever get tired of the humor associated with the uninformed people of this world. 

The Carpark caretaker under my work decided it would be funny to assign this to the car park next to mine.

I said to him "very funny you decide to put a volvo next me"

He said "i thought you would like having you sister from another mister next to you"

i LOL'd

That new grille of yours is crying out for a diagonal chrome bar, Aaron...:whistling:

At least the guy's got a sense of humour!

lol i was actually thinking of getting a Volvo Badge for the rear. they're the same size.

or getting a 'LOLVO' one made up for teh lulz.

yeh hes a good asset to the carpark - owns a VERY VERY loud torana apparently pushing excess of 500hp atw. looks insane though regardless of power.

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
