Hi All,

       After my failed attempt to organise a drift day last year, Im looking to do it on this new date.

Its on a Monday of the Kings Birthday weekend.  12 Jun 2023 7.30 am Start $170

https://www.australiandriftclub.com.au/events/12-jun-2023-wet-pan-drift-days/

There are currently 35 spots left, I will book tonight, if anyone wants to come please feel free to book. 

I have My R35 and my sons Evo going, and maybe 3-4 work mates.

If anyone else is interested book in early so we dont miss out on spots! Every date before this is fully booked so get on it!

Hope to see you there.

Thanks for mentioning it again! Just booked my ticket. Hopefully it works out this time.

@Nyoom I question you'd want to be splurging on track days right now but pinging you regardless. This might be much more enjoyable in a RWD Skyline.

Just as an aside, it is going to be double demerits still on that day.

I imagine double demerits would still be on...

@soviet_merlin really tempting. Might have to miss out on driving in this one though 🙁

Could tag along for some passenger rides if I'm free.

 

I'm not sure about getting my car on this either, HOWEVER, if there are a few of us, I might come down for the chance to nap some photos at the very least!

@OZ GTR35 How would you feel about me posting this on the SAUNSW website and social media? Might drag in a few more skylines/members that way? It'd definitely make @crashdown happy to get a track event on our calendar!

Hah, someone also please let Chris know. The time has come for the ute to shine. It was made for this.

Just letting everyone know there are no driver spots left, just passenger and spectators now. 

Dave, see you there, I will be in the silver 35 and my son is in his silver EVO.

I did some reading on how to drift the 35, apparently at greater than 15 deg steering angle the 4WD comes off, all the reading says the harder you go the better. I can only assume old Semi slicks and a wet skid pan means it wont be hard to loose traction, and I should be in for a fun day!

Hah, I'll be there in the silver Stagea so it'll fit right in.

Sounds like you got it all worked out Paul. Looking forward to see how it goes!

I'm going to try and take it easy on the car. No clutch kicking and no hand brake. I'm curious to see what it can do with just weight transfer and giving it some boost though.

No worries, I can ping you again a bit closer to the day. Jen is going to come as well and I'm sure she'll mention it to Elham. And of course feel free to jump in the car!

Good to meet you Merlin, the day was good I would recommend it to anyone who was interested. GTS people you will have a ball. GTRs obviously a little harder in 4WD. My son did not have the confidence to get the EVO off tilt but still had a ball.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
