I too would like to help with getting some more regular organised drifting going on.

Is Collie ready yet after being re-surfaced? Why have they not been having more events like last year (never got the chance to go to any of them :))

I'll be at Wanneroo when the comp there is on :)

Hello guys!

I hardly ever pop my head in here nowadays... I'm still in Japan but I will be coming back to AU next month sometime (for good).

I'm really suprised Drift hasn't gottten off the ground like it has in the Eastern States too. In fact (no offence to our Eastern brothers :unsure: ) I thought the guys in WA were alot more level headed and able to 'pioneer' things a bit more themselves...

Is there anything I can do? No really, I have my contacts here in Japan and Australia, so is there anything that I can help with?

I think the big thing that would help is some sponsorship and media exposure for the big day end of September that C-Red are organising.

The success or failure of the even will have a huge impact on whether or not the like so Barbegallo raceway will embrace the sport and get behind it.

When I was in SA, James Vahoumis had connections through Signal that brought TOYO onto the scene - this was a turning point, they now sponsor comps in the west, as well as drivers. Most of the major tyre companies are following suit now.

Is there anything that you think might be able to help along those lines?

exposure and sponsorship is the key IMHO.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
