I ask becuase i want some company when going to a few of these little lessons on protracted suicide...so who is actaully entering in the days/comps?

I recall the SFHS club was going to do its own thing, and not be associated with SAU, and thats cool, but its time SAU and Team Wang are represented...so lets see who can do the most panel damage :lol:

Disclaimer

LOL...lets see who takes life too serious and is offended / insulted, not meant to be offensive , just a ruse, an attempt to stimulate some interest amongst those hibernating...

guys in NSW and SA are already hitting the track under the banner... check on NS and FLM forums ;)

narkeh's drifter's on its way from japan. Mine will be getting S13 suspension and steering rack from UPI fitted in the coming two weekends. Dunno if it'll be ready by the 24th, but I'll try. We'll be in the thick of it even if we don't compete Roy... if you come we'll keep you company anyways. I'll even bring some suntan lotion for ya :O

Cool...so being serious for a moment, i have read the CAMS aspects of it and starting to get my head around the different insurances the days run under...but who are running the better organised days, and which days does a hack novice get the most enjoyment out of?

hack novice will get the most out of FLM events in VIC, if you're in Syd then either the fatz days or ID days.

DA (Drift Australia) events, which are now CAMS sanctioned, are closed to most privateers and beginners, and you need to be invited to participate.

FLM is a CAMS affiliated club, but to my knowledge their events aren't CAMS sanctioned. Which explains the event at Winton, as they operate without the need for CAMS liability insurance.

But Calder isnt the best , its 3 corners :O

The Winton day looks like the layout will be ok. So are these days full of sh1tters who arent overly concerned about rubbing ppls daily drivers, because thats drifting?

My biggest concern is keeping me out of the wall, a thing i no doubt will struggle with..and would rather not have ppl trying to drift right next to me, ummm into me

And these are pretty basic questions, and sorry... but I have never really been that interested in it and figure the WRX Club days are coming to an end so may as well get involved in a few of these days over XMAS ;)

Winton's layout should be good fun. I mean, having used a Proton Elise... I mean Lotus Elise through the chicanes you should be pretty familiar with it.

The people that bring their cars drifting are just as possessive of their cars as you, and entrants are sent out with sufficient gap between them that if an incident was to happen, then the marshalls will have enough time to delay proceedings till the mishap is cleared.

As for drifting alongside someone, whether you take part in it is totally up to you. Bumps on the track are never intentional, and reckless driving isn't allowed, but accidents do happen. That said I've never seen hoons on the track who have no regard for other people's property.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
