drifting is expensive hobby. dont try n drift if u dont want to pay any repair bills. practice low speeds to get feeling of car before u try anything stupid like 90km scando entries, save that for the track.

but then stock skyline is pretty dangerous to try to drift in. isnt the most predictable car especially with the old worn out diff.

yep, listen to tets(drifts r33's), r33's are heavy... they have alot of body roll!..

PS ey tets me ender n all da boys went out tonight for a lil session it was pretty good! hehehhe. l8erss

but u wouldnt hit the track 1st time without any drifting experience. it takes time to overcome fears and build up confidence. better to spin out on roads with no1 there, then to pullout of mid drift and rear end someone or have someone else hit u, where insurance is not covered.

People just need to grow some sack and get out there, as I've found being on a track is far less daunting once you make the big step. I've found (with circuit days anyway) that most people involved in motorsport are always willing to help and are friendly to the newbies.

shoulda called me, we ended up in the east last night was kinda failed tho, everyone getting ready for winton tomorrow.

Firstly, I'd like to point out that Vic Drift and SAU do not condone street drifting at all so please keep talk of it out of the forum.

Now you just need to hold them closer to town, winton as way too far, especially for some one like me who wants to drive there have fun and drive home, a tow truck back from winton is just not an option.

Drifting is expensive. I strongly suggest if you are worried about breaking your car, either tow it up or take the risk and drive.

I would go to the drift days except for the horror storys of cops waiting out the front to dik you, especially inconvenient 2.5hrs from home. You try to do the right thing by going to the track but it seems the jacks are trying to encourage you to do it illegally.

In the past, a minority of idiot drifters have been known to do really stupid things in moving cars on the freeway, outside of Winton and in surrounding towns. The cops dont hassle drifters as much anymore but you will see them cruise around the pits and just sit and watch cars enter and leave to make sure no one is being stupid.

If you drive sensibly and your car doesn't look like a pig, then chances are they'll leave you alone.

Winton is the only track in Victoria that holds drifting. There are no other options. Take it or leave it.

If anyone is still serious about learning to drift legally, then please email me or check out the Vic Drift forums :blink:

They used to hold drift sessions at Calder PArk, have these stopped permanently?

bob jane handed calder park to his son rodney jane and rodney the pussy whiped mofo is scared that the paper thingy that you sign sayin u cant sue calder is out of date by about 15 years and there fixing up parts of the track and fixing that paper thingy

and also rodney is a ass for getting rid of most of the senior workers

Didnt this just happen in the last month or 2?

Drifting was cancelled at calder a good six months ago.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
