Yep i aint really that interested in the whole drift thing either.

When i got my new brakes put in at a local shop one of the young guys asked me 'so does this do sick drifts?' i said no i aint a drifter. Then he proceded to show me his drift car, which was a stock shitbox vl with 2 smashed in windows and the panel damage to match, which ofcourse happened when he was trying to so a full sick drift!!!

thats because u own an auto  

:rofl:

well i do have an auto, but i'm not rushing out to get a manual conversion just to drift (like everyone keeps telling me! - i suppose that's what made me crack in the first place)

in the spirit of things i'll have to say 'go team wang!'

i'm with you guys...

cheers,

Waz.

as much as u hate it... get in a car with someone who knows how to do it properly.... i gurantee u will come out with a smile on ur face or shaking at the knees lol

WANG BITE TEH WANG0R!!! :rofl:

inark: You could say the same thing about your first night in prison...

I have only been in two cars being drifted at Morwell and one felt like an accident in progress, the other I could have slept, he was so smooth.

I sort of agree with you, while im sick of every second person telling me they are "drifters", i do love it when im just sitting at the lights and see a 32 or sumthing come around the corner completely sideways, it brings a smile to my face, but the next time someone says "so are you a good drifter" or "where do you drift" im gonna rip off there leg and beat shit out of them with it, i mean whats the go, i own a r32 so all of a sudden im a d1 spec doriftor?

I dont drift, purely because i cant afford the new tryes/panel damage, and even if i could, i wouldnt consider myself a 'drifter'

That refers to alot of silvia and 180sx owners that think just coz they got those cars they are drift experts.

Well done boys, last few posts are PURE GOLD.

Main reason im going off drift, is that you look at guys doing club/circuit days and spectators etc can view for free. Charging ppl to spectate at Drift days and turning a profit out of it goes against what club level motorsport stands for.

yeah i dont agree with how much they charge... i still think something should be tho seeing as it isnt cheap in australia to hire tracks... but the normal events that arent the nats are free entry for spectators

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
