The event was set to be a test, a dabble into something just a little different for SAU-Vic.

With the aid of the top class instructors, the sponsors J-spec & Driftline, and all the volunteers & competitors...

Its quite safe to say this was a 100% successful event and went off remarkably smoothly.

I would be very surprised if anyone cant take something away from this event that they did not have before.

I saw all throughout the day people's skills improving vastly which is a very rewarding sign for the SAU-Vic Committee.

Again, thanks to everyone coming up to support the event in many ways that people did.

We will be having a chat about the event in coming weeks with the instructors and get to planning Drift for dummies #2.

We can see already many many ways to improve on the next event and give you guys MORE track/training time.

I would suggest if you arent a member of SAU-Vic you fast become one as i have a good feeling that our next event will sell out before it even goes public.

So just a tip to the members of the public who entered.

Thats it for me, i had a bloody excellent day as we had a convert in Adam to the Taco Bills margarita's... so that was my little training for an instructor :P

I'll let you guys do the rest, post the pics etc etc.

Thanks for an excellent day

Cheers - Ash

Hey there,

I was the chap in the white S14a today. Never drifted before (actually stuck my hand up during the briefing for never inducing it either!), but had a fantastic time clearing up witches hats etc with the underbody of my car (oh, and drifting of course). I've clearly established that I need a set of adjustable coilovers, and maybe 2-way wouldn't go astray either!

Glad to have signed up to become a member of SAU as well, hopefully I can make it to a few more of these events to have a bit more fun in my car :P

Cheers,

Theo

Thank you soooo much to everyone that helped out, organised it,had a go at doing it and came to watch.

I had the best time and learnt soo much i never thought i would have learnt. It has given me heaps of confidence in my driving and my car and i have walked away with some new knowledge and driving techniques.

Thanks again :P

i can't remember when i last had so much fun. this was f**king fantastic... thanks to ash, chris, paul, pete, james, bec and any other organisers i missed. the instructors were great. i will be in for hte next one and try to calm down and concentrate on what i'm doing :P

    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
