Okay, i have some spare rims now, next thing on the Drift checklist is a helmet.

I just want something that's gonna do the job and not cost the earth.

Suggestions on what and, primarily, where to buy would be MUCH appreciated.

P.S. Forgive me if this has been discussed before but a quick search didn't turn up much of relevance.

Hey Ash, i bought mine a couple of years ago at peter stevens yamaha, its a Shoei RF-R that i paid about $400 for & does the job good. As long as it has that Australain standards sticker on the side, they'll let you use it at a drift comp.

Keith at Total Motorcycles...come off bridge rd onto research rd, then its the first right hand turn. Then go to the end of the cul de sac, and its in the gates on the right hand side.

he sells motorbike stuff, but has a few good cheap (new) helmets there. He doesnt charge like a cut pig as well.....

I think I'd rather a new one cause I'll keep it for a while and know i have a good fit, but that WWI item is certainly tempting :rant:

Thanks for the otehr suggestions guys, I'll look in to it.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.

      RB26 AWD Sump / RB25 AWD Stagea Sumps - Are they the same?

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      I have information on this for anyone that comes looking again. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18gsbFaYTU/ The rb25det neo from the stagea has the same sumo as rb26 and r32 gts4 (and other awd models). The sump that has caused so many problems during swaps are from the awd neo Gloria's. The casting numbers on the block and oil pans are different so this may help identify if you can't confirm where the motor came from

      Not feasible to fix the boot lid you had? Damage looked minor/hard to even see :p Source: Drove into something recently and you should be happy you didn't!

      Another new used boot arrived at the painters, it was sent back as there was nearly as much damage as the original one I want to replace  Finding a clean used boot lid is proving problematic, and I'm not keen on dropping $1500 on a new one from Mazda Sigh....
