This probally should go into the events section but its better suited here..

as the subject says there is a demo of drifting at the next race meet between races at some point, im not exactly sure when ill hopefully find that out next week..

the date of the race meet is November 1 and 2, the reason for it, is the WASCC are seeing what sort of interest there is in it, eg if enough people turn up to watch it, and its a noticeable crowd they'll be gang busters to try running a drift series next year, WASCC being a company work on money in short, if they see theres a possible income for it, they'll go for it, simple, so the more people there, the more likely a series will be go..

The race meet is the enduro weekend with hqs, street cars and i think sport sedans/sports cars running 30 lap races..

on a side note, anyone got either 195 50 15" tyres or 205 45 16" tyres they don't need and want to off load?, i've used my stash up and need more :)

Denver, I'm all for more support for drift in WA, but I don't see Waneroo as being a circuit which really has much to offer in the way of drift. There are virtually no corners that you could link togethero I'm not sure how you would be able to do it? Either way I'll come along to watch and see how it goes:D

the short track join is pretty good for linking, drift up through shell which is the big left hander up the hill, flick it into the hair pin for short track, link the next corner, and then back onto the hill straight..

you could try linking the esses, but your a brace man if you try, the wall thee is to close ofr my liking

Well isn't that going to suck for spectators, as all those places can't be seen? The whole purpose of drift is to make a spectacle of the car going sideways around corners, not much point if no-one can see it.

I'm not trying to knock the idea, but I just don't think it's the right track for it.

not 100% sure on who's in the demo, will let you know later in the week..

however it seems the race meet is only one day according to the time table, and the demo is on the sunday nov 2 at 12:30

by looks there should be a good mix of cars tho, few of the normal nissan typres, maybe a sprinter, and the rex all going well

i only wish i could see the reactions on peoples faces when they clue into the rex being only RWD..

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
