Learning To Drift In Melbourne

[matty jay]

hi all

I want to learn to drift there is a fair few topics on it, however the information on tracks, cheap tyres and all the good stuff

are for places like Sydney or Brisbane

so is there anywhere close-ish from Melbourne (say an hour in any direction)

where you can learn to drift? hopefully on a wet track or dirt..

will I need a roll cage? preferably not, but I am willing.

and does anyone have any tips about Melbourne?

i.e cheap parts, tyres, ect.

oh, and my car is a 94 r33 rb25de manual.

with sway bars, lowered, new brakes / shoes and a locked diff.. is this enough?

Probably a decent starting point to learning to slide is out at Rally Drive (Bacchus Marsh). They do dirt drifting around a speedway track with RWD cars to get the hang of sliding.

your setup is plenty. just need to have the balls to really stand over your car and not get scared by angle. tyres id just get second handies no bigger than 225 as your cars n/a and wont be blowing the rubber to shreds. you can do deca days and skidpan days to learn to drift.

can you do opposite lock donuts?

Cheers, Phill.
