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.

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
