Official Thread *** Victorian Drift Club Practice Day ***


Recommended Posts

ALL SPOTS ARE NOW FILLED!

Thank you to those that pre-entered :)

What time does the gates open and what time is scruitenning n stuff?? And like what time does it get over??

Couldnt find this info on vicdrift also!!

What time should i be there !!!!

Gates open around 7:45am, scrutineering opens at 8am. Track closes at 5pm but usually if there is alot of crap on the track it closes earlier and we sweep the track..

(Especially given its a saturday event.. There will be a track day on the sunday)

You can always pm me for info.. im a one woman show when it comes to updating the info area of the vic drift forum and sometimes simple details skip my mind as i simply assume people know stuff like that as its the same at every event :) my bad..

see you guys on saturday :) Anyone wana wash my car?! :lol:

Hmm so theres no point if i come early and bring my car on the trailer because i havnt pre booked or anyhting... Is it still cool if a few of my boys rock up?

It was probably the most fun I have had at Winton. Tandems with mates are always the highlight. The 33 drove the 5 hours there, drifted all day on the limiter then drove the 5 hours home again. Lost track of how many times it has done it!

The only thing that could have made it better was if the lazy bastards who didn't pre-enter were not let in and there for more track time for those who made the effort to pre-enter. There was no excuse really... it was plastered over all the main forums and the 70 other people all some how knew about it.

I am all for the 60 car limit.

Dean, your car look fantastic out there.

Gunmetal, your car was also looking the goods.

I've got over 2000 photos to go through the next few days and get them up, was going to start them lastnight but i was sick and in bed by about 7:30 :banana:.

Thanks mate, it also felt fantastic. Those guys at centreline really know how to setup a car.

I have some seriously good in cam footage to show... keep an eye out on youtube :) Will advise once its up...

I had one of the best times in my life... The event was organised really well and the winton guyz wer really helpful.. I hardly managed to get any pics so waiting for someone to put it up... Made alot of new friends also..↲

Hey gunmetal i would like to see some of ur in car footage

I will post it up when i get a chance. My camera was acting up so not sure exactly how much I actually ended up getting.

It was nice to meet you Zaver but a word of advice- you gotta be real careful and keep your eyes out when you spin or go off track! One time you went off the track behind the front bunker and a group of 5 of us came screaming around on to the front straight only to have to all brake and spin our cars because you pulled back on the track in front of us when you should have probably waited until we had passed.

Just be aware of what the cars in front of you and behind you are doing and maybe get a bit more practice in before jumping in the tandem line.

How did you go with your bash plate anyway?

Edited by gunmetalgrey

Well i guess i was a little excited on the day!! Will keep that in mind for the next time...

And abt my bash plate its still hanging i really have to get it fixed just havent gathered any time for it... Well maybe ill go see a metal customizer for sm info on it... Do u know the guyz name who did urs ??

That is what I would recommend. Mine was just bent up by a local metal fabricator and cost $20 but it's no use really giving you his name as he is 4 hours away from you. The s13 was exactly the same as the R33 except different bolt holes were needed so I presume the R34 would be similar with different bolt holes needing to be drilled.

Some good pictures of your 33 in there Dean

Yeah, those shots were taken by my mates dad - guy with the chaser. Some really nice shots in there. Cant wait to see the shots from the professional photograpers that were there. Have any been put up yet?

Me and my mate with the chaser both had video cams bolted to our rear parcel shelf. The footage is fantastic, I will advise once its up on youtube...

Dean, i got your PM.

Mine will be up around 5pm tonight, had a few problems uploading the other day so basically had to start again, my ISP is going to rape me this month :P

That chaser was mint too, was he at the beginners section at the Round 2 event?

    • 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!
