Track Fee: $150 Paying Members ($180 Non-Members)

Limited to ONLY 20 PLACES.

Initial Drift Australia will be holding it's first official skid pan training day. This unique event offers an unintimidating and beginner friendly environment for drivers new to the sport of drift to learn how to do so in a safe and controlled manner.

We will be limiting places to 20 people only and due to the added cost of the hire of the skid pan this explains the cost.

Make no mistake it will be a training day with instructors taking you through the basics and moving onto more advance skills later in the day.

Held over a full day on the Eastern Creek Skid Pan facilities, drivers will will be challenged with obstacles and objectives that will allow the first time drifter to become competent in the art of drift as well as allow more advanced drivers to refine the more technical aspects of their technique. The wet low friction surface also makes this extremely car friendly with much less stress placed on the vehicle than an equivilant competition surface.

Notes

Though not an enforced requirement of attending the day, it is recommended that you use a vehicle that meets the following specifications to benefit from the available support and tuition.

- Rear Wheel Drive

- Manual Transmission

- Functioning Limited Slip Differential

A CAMS license is also required for this event and will be available on the day for a small/nominal fee ($20).

This day is aimed at the people wanting to learn how to drift and for the other people wishing to hone there skills on the skid pan.

Places are limited and have been filling up quickly so please pre-pay to confirm your place on the day.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
