unfortunately i cant claim the driving as my own as im only a beginner and decided to give the car over for a visitor to australia for the actual comp portion of drift battle to Jairus Whanerau from New Zealand.

right click and save as - this is Jairus's second pass... first time he was even in the car so he didnt exactly have much time to prac in it to get used to it.

right click and save as - 3rd pass... mmmmmmmm

haha loved the commentator...

" of corrupt drift"

" of d1 garage"

"and now an international guest, drifting for team super fun happy sliders"

LMAO ROFL... love it...

how'd you manage to get Jairus to drift your car...

we were farken dissapointed as by the tandem match up tho... bloody legacy wagon got an easy picking and blew it... bah. Final 4 shoulda been the SA boys and the ceffy methinks, not the R33.

it was bs... at the driver briefing we were told that in the tandems the chase car should follow exactly what the lead car does to win... if the lead car does something to make the other car avoid hitting him then he gets a better mark... that 3rd round jairus led and not one time did the onevia follow his line... he didnt enter anywhere near as early into the corners so of course he was able to get closer... but he didnt get as good an angle through the corners... and jairus started drifting from behind the bridge through the last corner in one motion... of course thats going to be slightly slower than fishtailing but fishtailing is piss easy compared to one full motion which they said scored higher.

and the onevia got so close cause he was fishtailing the entry to the last corner that HE almost hit my car... bah... doesnt matter... he wants to start competing here.... with my car ;) he said hes going to talk to the sponsors back home about it and buy my car and leave it here in aus so he can fly over for the events.

i met him saturday in the pits after i did a few prac laps and he came over and had a talk about the car cause he had one in NZ that he drifted... we spoke for a while about the comp and NZ and then he saw me on sunday and came said hi and we chatted a bit more.... i finished in the prac session and asked if he wanted to go out in my place and actually do the comp... he was eager to get out there for the whole weekend so i handed him the keys :P

he didnt get any prac.... only the 3 laps u get to get into the top 16 lol... on his third lap he finally got it right and drifted the last section in 1 :) just like the D1 jap drivers

after pricing 18" tyres last week im cringing at those pics!!!

After viewing one of the vids i was impressed though. You car certainly must have a bit of balls to smoke em in some of the situations there. That track is rather different to the track we have up here for drifting, would love to have a go at it.

    • 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.

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!
