imo, $20 entry was way too steep for a place like that with no seating etc etc, as above would be a great idea. i understand its all about getting tailem bend off the ground but imo $20 p/person is way too steep

yeah naa i agree, the $20 was abit steep but then again they probs had to hire all the toilets n the food vender's for the day.

the food there was better then mallala thats for sure!

i understand that seating and toilets is an issue.. its something thats being worked on.

the price is unlikely to change but i will bring it up when i speak with the organiser next.

heres a few vids.

yea the food shit all over mallala, if you like raw chicken burgers :P

i stuck to the steak, atleast if that was undercooked i wont be sittin on the toilet for a week.

i like my burgers without salmonella thanks :D

all in all i had a good day, just pump the dj next time! add to the atmosphere!

Yeah $20 entry per person... partner wasn't too happy after driving all the way. Spoke to a few drivers and they didnt like how the track had changed??? I personally think that the track is too short.

Maybe next time some brochures about whats happening and times can be given at entry? Got a bit confusing about what was going on lol

yeah i can understand that. however it was a day of drift format and as such was played very much by ear. when you say they didnt like how the track had changed what do you mean? it got changed for the big entry comp but that didnt work so it was changed back.

the Oct comp coming up with be a full comp layout with timetable of events etc

Overall was a good day, relaxed atmosphere and seemed to be drivers on the track 90% of the time meaning no long boring breaks etc. The only thing I would say though is I had no idea who was winning as it wasn't being announced, even the tandems I didn't know if they were battles or just displays etc (alot of people I spoke to thought the same). Looking forward to the next one though as it will only get better from here!

Where the cones where which indicated the end of the track..normally u keep drifting that around the bend, just what i was told. First time ive ever been to tailem bend.

I cant believe people are complaining about paying $20 to see a day of drifting :P I agree with Ryan though, I got there at about 1ish and had no idea what the cars were supposed to be doing out their.

Parts i liked.

How close we were to the action. Only at Tailem can you be right next to the cars at staging, and just being around them, was very relaxed, and didnt see any of the crowd annoying competitors.

DRIFT TRAINS! By far, the best part of the day.

$20 was quite reasonable for 9am-4pm of drifting.

Bring a seat, sit back and enjoy.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
