Mines petrol, was an xr8 falcon shell which i smashed to pieces. Now have an R34 GTR shell.

I also have a few other mates with them and about 4 others own one in my street.

Will get some pics and the feq of mine.

im not running the 4wd, only rwd.

For the westies - think on tuesday nights heaps of people used to meet up at the harvey norman car park in penrith for races, i think its still on???

Cool!

Paul: Yeah man... your buggy will drift with PVC tyres! Take a rear and a front wheel off, go into a hardware store, and find some PVC that *just* fits over your rims. Measure the widths of the rims, cut it up, wrap tape around the rim, and wedge the PVC over it. Getting your rubber tyres off might be an issue... from memory yours are glued on? (they're supposed to be)

GTRL: Drifting with PVC tyres on a RWD car is next to impossible, but it'll be fun to watch anyway! I'm leaning towards the netball courts in Curl Curl if there is no track to go on. I'm going to sus out St Ives onroad today!

I have an Xray Factory Kit 05 but no transmittor. I've just left the RC Onroad scene after 3 years of pretty hardcore racing. I may be tempted to bring out the beast again. 4WD Onrad drift isd where it's at. Throw on a HPI R34 body to top it off.

Satanic, I may have a spare TL01 shaft at home. I'll have a look.

It's still on but they got kicked out of the harvey Norman car park. It's now on at the Penrith Regatta centre next to the water.

Pop them in the oven for 10 mins. They'll slide right off

do you use pvc pipe over the rims to drift?

do you use pvc pipe over the rims to drift?

Thats the easiest way.

or you can buy specially made drift tyres. They got more traction than PVC but still lose traction now and then. Clicky

Or Just put in a 6 turn motor. You'll drift on anything

Yeah, there's tons of nice smooth places... but i want a track for proper controlled drift!

Like I said, there's tons of netball courts, which will have no issues with landlords or security, but no track!

We'll keep it as an option though =-]

And here's some proof that a buggy and a nitro can drift, but they're both 4wd. These are the netball courts that I used to go to with my mates. As you can see, the track is made out of power cable, and a few bottles of various liquids. Kinda boring now.

I apologise for my mates camera-work... it gives me a headache!

Netball Courts (2.08Mb XVID)

There's a newish track at Windsor (about 50mins from Ryde) where it's Indoor, proper track, 20Ft driver stand, pit lane, plently of power, tables and chairs, canteen and a hobby shop on site. They race only on Monday and Friday nights but every other time the track is open to the public. $10 will get you about 4 hours track time. It's the best track by far in Sydney. No Nitro allowed though

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
