who was the guy in the DR30 drifting at Calder on channel 10 today??

For those who didn't see it he got knocked out in the first round but it was great to see a DR30 competing.

I think channel 10 should have done more of a segment on it but I might just be a little bias.

There was only 1 non nissan which was a v8 holden ute.

It was Tom Monkhouse. His car is fuuuuuucking low, I swear it sits about 4 inches lower than mine.

The judging was shithouse going by a lot of what I saw today, he was pre-apexing better than the S13 and seemed to be getting the last corner better too.

His brother Jack runs in the ARC in a Galant, he usually shows up at SA drift days, used to bring his 180B rally car and then brought a VR4 converted to run rwd for drifting for one or two days at Mallala

It quite possibly could have been?? haven't heard a word about it how ever. Was it white absolutely dumped with 1800-nothing-suss stickers on it? I think there may have been a rally on over that weekend though because I heard this weekend he finished 1st over all in his newly aquired evo 8, not sure if that was this week or the week before. Spewin if it is.

Yes.... mine is rather high lol

But I havent had a cop look twice at it and I'm sure its the ride height

Tom's car has been slammed for almost as long as he has owned it 2 years now, I know because he got his the same week mine got complied. He has had one defect for bald tyres which he got of at the cop shop no worries.

Cops looked at my car a lot the day I drove it round with the gearbox and rails 50mm off the ground but that was just stupid and I didnt have the c-spanners to adjust my coil overs. I reckon my car got complied a lot lower than your car :wassup:

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
