Well the actual Banzai battle clashes with the SAV xmas BBQ so if anyone would like to come along and see drifting, see people crashing S13's or just to stress out inark. There is the practice night the night before from 5pm till dark at Calder Park, spectators are $10.

Anyone interested in Skylines should defintely come to see this baby in action (all the way from South Australia)

I take it he will also be competing on sunday, or will he only be at the saturday practice?

:)

I'll be there on the Sunday. Hope to see the R33 in those clips, ripping it up nicely.

Id like to see your Cefiro drifting around calder too, looks awesome man, too bad you have to let it go. But give us a good farewell show :) I hope it doesnt rain!

Steve.

haha shut up u.... but yeah... i wouldnt mind puting it in ken satohs hands in the next drift nats but im hoping not to have it by then unless i dont have to get rid of it.

im sure lawerance wont be partial in his judging... btw L the cheques in the mail :D

lol

well i must say i had an AWESOME time....

despite spinning god knows how many times and almost causing accidents lol

which btw im really sorry for :)

im pretty happy tho for my first time out... was having a few problems with understeer for some reason i dunno why.. also couldnt use the handbrake cause no matter how hard i yanked i couldnt get it to work properly... i would still be going at the same speed.

sorry for jetting so early but on the last few runs there were a few strange noises coming from the front of the car when steering in any direction.

was great to meet some of the guys from the forums and id like to thank everyone for all their help and pointers... especially sam (dr_drift) and (im sorry for forgetting ur name) one of the kiwi boys who was ripping it up from lap 1!

im not too sure about taking it out tomorrow morning because of the suspension prob... i tried getting back early to see if i could get around to my brother in laws workshop to get on the hoist to take a look but he wasnt there.

for those that havent been out but want to do it... DO IT... DOO ITT... do it.

    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
