I can have a go, sure. I'm not as expert as my nitro-racing friends, but it shouldn't be too hard to tune it up. An infra-red temperature gun comes in handy though!

I'm guessing that you're running pretty smokey even on WOT?

I have been racing on road R/c cars for about 5 years and am a member of a world class track located in Moorebank just off the M5. Membership costs $80 a year and with that you can get to attend race meets alot cheaper and you get a set of keys to the track! So when there is no club racing on you can go and practice or have a drift meet with friends etc whenever you want. So if you want to have a rc get together at a proper track this is the place to do it.

I have some pics of the track and my rc car at a race i attended last year.

Come out to a race and get a membership form and pay. Races are the 1st and 3rd sundays of each month. The next race meet will be pretty quiet because there is a big race in brisbane next week so next week would probably be good to come join up and maybe get your car on the track. There is ussually a website with all the info but for some reason its down at the moment. Its in Helles reserve at Moorebank, On the intersection of the M5 and Moorebank ave.

It's a solid hour drive for me, but if eveyone is serious about proper drifting on a track, i'll happily pay the money.

Members have keys, but are they allowed to invite their friends in?

Thanks for the info, Chris!

wow.. just looked at the pics... it's not a particularly tight track, is it? I'm not sure how it'd go for drifting, but i'd definately give it a try!

Last time I got a drift session on a track was during a "dinner break" of a club meet when they weren't using the track.

I don't think anyone has planned to go to the track, but i'm going to suggest: Sunday the 19th at Curl Curl netball courts. (Northern Beaches)

I will go down and check it out to make sure there isn't a ton of netball games on, but when there is, there is usually a court free. It's easy to access and quite smooth for asphalt.

We'll just meet up and muck around without any track (unless someone brings some), and if it is successful, i'll look to organise something more proper for the next meet! (which could be somewhere else too!)

Please post IN or OUT for midday Sunday 19th meet at the above location!

sorry RANDY, ive got parts arriving for my car this week so i'll probably be putting it all back together on the weekend.

sorry mate, i might go check that moorbank place out though.. im from bankstown so its not far for me.

Security: the controller and receiver use a frequency-modulated cystal to communicate. If two people have the same, or very similar frequency, you'll both be controlling two cars each. Interesting, good for a laugh, but then you just get the shyts.

Steve and Paul IN! =-D

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
