Hey guys,

IDA have organised to a "Test" Drift Day at the new Marulan Driver Training Centre, 31 Jan 2009. This day is being used as a trial for suitability for future drift days.

Anyway, they have arrange for a few Drift Australia Drivers as well as some other experienced drivers to come and test out the Track. It looks like a very fun track and reminds me of some jap tracks.

Myself and Quakin will be heading up on Saturday morning to have a look. I timed the Drive from Marulan to Civic yesterday and it was exactly a 1 hour drive.

Here is some video of the track

Its tight and narrow, with the only safe place to overtake on a relatively short straight. If they don't move over for you, you can't get past without going off the track i.e. if they sit in the middle.

If you want a decent run without having to slow down for other cars, you have to back off and wait a while to make a gap, then get into it, as you will see Mark doing in the GTR in front of the car with the camera.

From Pete:

For anyone interested(from sydney) on cruising down with us, we will be meeting at Camden Valley Way McDonalds at 6:30 and departing at 6:45. It is located right near the M5 and M7 intersection for those who are unsure where it is.

From here we will be travelling down and stopping at the BP to top up on juice and then heading to the track which is only another 10 -15 minutes drive.

When we get there, not much will be happening for the first 1hr to 1-1/2 so if you want to sleep in a little and come later then you won't miss out on too much.

Please be aware that this is not a full tilt drift day, there will be stopages throughout the day for discussions with drivers and so on so don't be expecting too much. If you want to check out the track, then you are more then welcome to come.

It will more then likely start around the normal start time of 9-930am and finish around the 4:30 mark.

Here are the directions on how to get there.

      You know the worst thing about acquiring more space for me? I tend to acquire more things to fill the space...

      Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!

      Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).

      Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
