hey stu...but i already knew about you :) lol when is gonna be out again mate!! its been a while...my car is coming along slowly just waiting on money to come thru...just picked up a twin core gtr radiator today so should be on track on the 1st!

Hopefully have my dr30 ready to rip in a couple of months.

Maybe one of you guys can help with my suspension set up?

Have height adjustable front struts and damper adjustable rears.. Have heard that adding a stiff swaybar to the rear and leaving the stock one on the front can give benificial results for basic suspension setups???

I like to get out and drift a bit. Guys from down here are:

Chris Eastern, Black R31 (The Pearl), Current NSW Points leader.

Peter "Fatz" Currathers, Black R31 (RB26DETT), Organiser of the famous Fatz Drift Days.

And Myself Dan Mackie, Grey R33, Currently 14th in the Formula Drift Nationals.

That I know of.

Of course there are a few blokes from the R31 club that get out also.

Dan.

haha @ the photo at oran park...never seen any one drift a corner the opposite way :huh: (unless theres a left entry i cant see in the pic)

For anyone interested in keeping up with the little perth drift scene - www.driftwa.com (sites not ready and temporary forum is running)

Also we've got a drift comp - WOW!!!

This friday @ barbagallo raceway (in wanneroo)

gates open 4pm...action starts bout 5.30

interesting to see who will win...the best mates and previous nats winners trewhella and sullivan will be battling hard out for the title!

@ practice day for the comp one car caught fire (catch can leak) and trewhella blew his rb25 after 3 rounds, so the comp no doubt will be eventful :)

I love drift...due to NOT ONE open track practice day this year, my skill is limited. Im looking forward to giving it my best though in my 32, appropriately fitted with an sr20. Dont hate. lol.

    • The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it
    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
