SFHS Hits Banzai - Report (LONG WINDED)


Recommended Posts

Well... i may have been the only Super Fun Happy Slider out there giving it a go but regardless there was always a lot of support from people not only from Melbourne but from interstate drifters as well.

All i have to say after this weekend is that if you are into drift and you havent given it a go and want to get into it. Get out there to the practice nights and give it a go.

It had to have been the best time i have ever had in a car with support from people in Skylines, Sprinters, Silvias, 180s and even commonwhores and Mazda 929s.

Everyone in the pits was more than helpful in lending a hand and i have to personally thank Mick from EXMods for all his help and Dr Drift and Jarius for all the driving and handling tips which i started to get the hand of towards the end of the last practice session on the sunday.

As some may have already read in the short posts i ended up teaming up with NZD1 driver Jarius Wharerau to enter the comp as i was satisfied and happy with what i had achieved in the practice rounds and wanted to get some footage of my car being driven hard by someone i know can drive and drive bloody well. Some people might have seen Jai in action before in a few DVDs etc.

Jai has to be one of the most down to earth and nicest guys ive ever met. He was more than happy to take my pig out for a solid thrashing (hahaha man that just sounds wrong) in my place, the only issue was the amount of tyres i had. Knowing i wouldnt go through more than one set i didnt bring any more than 4 wheels with tyres on em but knowing what Jarius can do this was going to be an issue.

Thanks to Gareth from J-Spec for the money for tyres even tho we didnt need em in the end which was just wrong!!!! Also both Gareth and Craig and Munkeh too i spose for the transport of the car to and from Calder for the event.

Well i will get straight to the good stuff... heres a few pics and vids of CEF-ZLA in action.

I've got a few pictures of the day that my cousin took with his camera, ill attach them to my post. The Banzai drift event was a great day out and great to see some legit drifting competitions going around Aus. Was very enjoyable to watch. inark, your car looks very PHAT in real life, beautiful machine. The NZ guy driving it done some great drifts with it. My cousin made a video compilation aswell and its on my PC atm, but its 45meg and ive only got 56k connection, and i cant upload it anywhere, so sending it to someone might take a while....Anyway here are a few pictures:

haha that was when the doors were open and my gf waz in there trying not to die from heat exhaustion LOL

man she got burnt... even i did ffs :thumbsup:

Should have come and said hi... was standing right there i can see my arse in that second pic ;)

gotta love the frankenstein stiching down the front bar to hold it together and stop it from breaking into 2 bits

    • Way more than 1cm. Appreciate the advice maybe I try changing the bushing first
    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
