I know asking this is like trying to catch a turd one handed in a pool but here goes . . .

I have a drift car and my mate is about to start using it up barbs , thing is he has never drifted before .

So im looking for a bit of tarmac anywhere thats on private land (ie not the street) to show him some basics .

If anyone has a trucking yard or something somewhere that we could use a few times it would be greatly appreciated .

I am 34 years old , a sensible adult (to some level) have a safe road registered drift car and most importantly , i know how to show respect to other people and there property so i wont be leaving any tyres/fires/explosives etc behind . Ill be handing over my phone no lic details etc to anyone that may be able to help out .

pm may be the go as im not interested in having 4 cars turn up at your property .

At the drift practice, if it is your first time to the track they send you out the back of the long straight were they have sent up cones to do some circle work and teach you the basics (there are 4+ trainers, which are just fellow drifters)

yeah im fully aware of this but you can only run certain dates /at night and im a driving instructor with a car . All i need is somewhere to use it and i can get a lot more training time in for my mate at a much more relaxed pace .

You're a driving instructor with a car?

Asking this question, of all questions, on a forum?

..........

Bring on the flaming.

BTW Barbagallo was a shit suggestion.

Doubt these guys want to pay for membership + cams license + everything to pass scrutineering, just to do some skids.

nic a31 i dont think you read the post properly .

you might want to re read it or maybee i should have put more info in it but i didnt want to be longwinded like i usually am .

The idea i was trying to get across is that if there is someone out there that wouldnt mind letting us use some space that they have that would be very nice and we would treat them respectfully .

I cannot see why using a forum to put out a request is a bad idea , espescially when i reccomended people that are genuinely able to help should pm rather than post .

Im just trying to do my best to do some responsible and safe driving AND be accountable for my actions while doing so .

If you want to promote street drift then i suggest you continue to shit on everyone who tries to avoid it .

PS: As an additional note we both already pay cams lic wascc membership and attend barbagallo drift sessions .

I'm sure he knew what you meant, winds himself up pretty tight on here. Nic, chiiillllllll bbrrrooooooooo!

For individuals, Sam (slydr) has a place with an area like what you need but from what I remember there is buses & all sorts of things being stored there but it's probably the same situation. But there is no harm in asking because some people could have a big, open area at their work... But if not, the Barbagallo nights might just have to do! They did also have drift lesson sessions at the AHG driver training centre, but since RAC took over I doubt they still happen

Thanks for the feedback ossie

Its pretty cool to hear that AHG used to have drift training . I thought they were quite anti drift . (been there heaps in various cars , you can get away with a bit)

As a point of interest ive been to the RAC centre for a tuning arvo after there change of ownership and its still pretty good value if anyone was wondering .

The first barbagallo tuning day for now is our first place to unleash some tyre tread .

Its a good way to start drift at barbs by doing some track farmiliarity during the day all day for 60 bucks . If its quiet well be able to get some good drift in .

AHG never had drift training... they use to allow abit of drifting till people took it too far and now they have come down hard on it.

be warn you will need to double check if you are allowed to drift at tuning days, barbagallo is pretty tight on when you can do drifting

I recall an article where a guy in bullsbrook was meant to be setting up a skid pan for this kinda thing?

Steve the guy in the article doesnt actually own the land so he can't really do much

The owner of that block lives in Albany

Also the locals spit the dummy not wanting the hoon element in their suburb

Yes they did have drift training, using both skidpans. The drifting they have come down on that you're referring to is during the actual driver training days..

If you want to promote street drift then i suggest you continue to shit on everyone who tries to avoid it .

When did I promote street drift?

I'm sure he knew what you meant, winds himself up pretty tight on here. Nic, chiiillllllll bbrrrooooooooo!

No news recently about the Bullsbrook one, but if they ever did build that, 24 hours a day 7 days a week it'd be full of 17 year old bogan white trash and their Falcons/Commodores...great place for all sorts of shit to break out.

There are a couple of people in Perth that have their own private slabs...only one I know of off the top of my head is Slydr (Sam), DriftWA/Antilag.

i think i got lucky last time i was up there midweek . it was so quiet and relaxed no one really minded . i got to drift past a couple of guys after chatting with em to make sure they were cool with a bit of drift .

from memory it went something like . drift mor ? dude seriously more now .

just kept the speed up and the angle down .

Yer council never approved the skid pan in bullsbrook.

There are a few notorious truck stops around the perth area that people love to go to and do a skid.

    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32  
    • Nice. I'm looking forward to the updates!
    • Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.
    • Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
