The ad sais it all but essentially there is a few parts to the event.

1 - Just Car Insurance Australian Drifting Grand Prix Top-16 Invitational
This is a exhibition competition with 16 of Australia's best drifters. They will practice and qualify during the day and the competition will be held at dusk between 6pm-8pm. The new South Circuit layout will provide smoke bellowing door-todoor battles.

2 - South Circuit Launch Bash
The South Circuit layout at Sydney Motorsport Park was never intended to be the perfect drift track, but it turned out that way, and the ARDC has now decided to allow drifting on the course, and this is the best way to celebrate. The three NSW drift clubs and ADGP have 15 spots each to invite drivers to be the first to drive the track. It's essentially an open practice, but with some of the best from NSW and around Austrlaia on track, their will be plenty of entertainment. We will also be organising various grudge matches to hold in between the ADGP Top-16 rounds, including people's choice.

If you are interested in drifting the South Circuit, you need to contact Driftmob, DriftNSW, Driving Sports or ADGP

I was shooting video for Speed Nation. Cheers to Andrew for all your hard work on this event series. Saw you running your a$$ off all over the place!

Here is the highlights video. (Best watched in HD)

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
