It was a great day, good to see so much SAu representation.

There were blue shirts everywhere! :)

It was also nice to see some decent 'old school' representation, with the likes of BOWSER, ONTRYL, a red silhouette, and a really nice DR30.

Here are a few of my pics.

Was a great, made even better when i got in for free, thanks to my mate's Calder Offical pass :). His car was the XA coupe parked inside near the Calder Park office.

Was great to meet all the usual people and to see all the blue T-shirts.

Can't wait till the next Drift Practice day :).

Those are the "Thunder Cops"

They provided a bit of entertainment.

I first saw them at last years EasterNats and was blown away by their performance.

I can't imagine the skill involved in keeping a car up on 2 wheels like that.

Damn.. I barely have enough balance to walk upright!

They drove around a whole section of the track on 2 wheels, and the chick passenger gets out of the car and stands up straddling the window with her arms in the air.

I have a few more angles of the car........

I'm agreeing with everyone here, it was an awesome day and anyone that didn't go, or left early missed out on a hell of a lot.

Those Jap D1 drives need to do some classes for the aussie drivers or something because there weren't any other cars that were anywhere near as good.

All the drift pics look great people (just need more of the dancing girl that couldn't keep her top up).

As soon as a date is set for the drift nats, i'll be booked in again.

    • Yeah they sure are available for import now, its great news Matt, You need an import specialist insurer, nothing has really changed over the years about the mainstream insurance companies not touching them. I have my cars with Lumley (same group as NRMA etc) because they insure imports and have a good concept of "stable use" where as long as no more than 2 cars are being driven each day you can have them all on a good rate, I've also had no issues with claims through them. Note they won't insure a car if you take it to the track, even for an off track claim. Shannons are another option but I had a lot of trouble with their claims (they were happy to take the premiums, not so keen to pay out), and I'm sure there are other import specialists too 
    • I'm a lifelong home drummer, was in a couple of bands as a teenager/early 20's then moved to Japan and didn't play at all until 2019 when my missus and I were invited to check out the band room upstairs at a restaurant cafe here in JP. They had a full acoustic drum kit and they let me have a bash for about 20 mins. I went away from there wondering how I could not play for 19 years.... Missus bought me a e-drum kit a few weeks later (Yamaha DTX402) which is basic but lets me play at home in my tiny Japanese house.  Also have an Epiphone Les Paul and little Vox amp and delay pedal I bought for the missus because she wanted to learn to play the guitar, but she never got into it. That was about 8 years ago. I taught myself to play some 80's U2 song riffs like the Fly solo, etc and some other things but being a drummer I don't really have the dexterity in the fingers lol. Ham fisted if you will. So I kind of just mess around with the guitar rather than try to seriously play complete songs. My son on the other hand inherited all my side of the family's musical talent and is a brilliant classical pianist at 16 years old. He'll go on to do something in the music industry here for sure once he finished his schooling. I got him a Yamaha NU1XA hybrid piano earlier this year.
    • If the BOV is plumbed in as mentioned, like stock.... why exactly would it stall? It'd be like stock. Do stock cars stall with stock bovs?
    • You mean a rich spike, as the air has been metered multiple times due to the turbulent air, you end up injecting more fuel causing a momentary dip in torque and quite possibly a stall event. TL;DR, install a Haltech Elite or S3 or R3, convert to DBW, throw all ancient shit into the bin and enjoy the car.
