does it cost anything to spectate?

:wave:

Yeah I made it a little more obvious steve... sorry about that James...

Drift Australia cost $1650 per round to compete :wave:

Ouch

Think of all the trackdays you could do instead of that!

OP GP @ 220

mmm OP GP

How many do you do a year?

hahaha silly me.....thanks for clearing it up...............very interested..............definitely want to go and have a look next week.

yikes, 1650 to compete per round.....ARRRGGGHHHH..think of all the goodies you can buy for the car.

From experience, there is heaps of cars on track on Saturday, lots of spins, and some awesome drifting in the morning while people learn their limits, Saturday arvo Qualifying can produce some spellbinding runs... particularly if someone nails their first qualifyer and goes all out for that top spot!!! pure gold. And there is team drift at the end as well.

Sunday is Battles a plenty, infact all day long... and with team drift in between it is certainly going to be a top display of wicked drifting... there can be some breaks in between through (although I have heard that by the arvo those on the hill won't mind too much as they can use the time for a pit stop to get rid of excess booze!) This round though DA are trying really hard to have track action all day long on Sunday and to get rid of the gaps.

Me, I'd just go both days... hell for $35 for the whole weekend and that gets you pit access and the best seats in the house, compared to the V8 taxi's starting at $100 for a weekend for paddock access at Oran Park... can't beat it!

If I had to Choose it would be Sunday... but I'd be pissed I had missed seeing the action on Saturday. :(

Hope that helps,

Dan.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
