Nah we should be right, i have a friend who is 99% gonna come, he is on here as well but dont know his nick. Do you guys prefer to keep it at 8ppl and pay an extra $25? Cause it seems like it would be more worthwhile for us. If nobody objects then I will limit the number to just 8 then so we get more track time.

I would love to go.. I might, but it's kinda tight with timing. Gibson Motorsport will be running their cars out at wakefield on the same day(they're look and SOUND freaking awesome!). Plus i've got gokarting with another club, ARGH!!!

Oh yeh, I probably need to get those rims back off you CEF11E. I'll need them for a drift day at easter weekend.

OK guys so we are now confirmed for the 31st of March. All ppl attending will be required to pay an extra $26 on the day to make it a total of $125. Please reply or PM if you are NOT ok with this.

Make sure you turn up with good tyre pressures and a fullish tank of gas.. starting time to be confirmed.. i think its 8.30 or 9am.

Question 1: What tyre preasure do people normally run for these i would imagine either normal street level or slightly more ???

Question 2: The ground is wet right so it won't wear the tyres down to much ??? if so i will probably just put a set of my stock 33 tyres in.

1. I think most people just run the normal street tyre pressure.

2. The track is wet in parts, but if you slide out or spin around on the outside, you do hear the joy of your rear tyres dragging themselves along the dry slightly uneven concrete. If you start going regularly though you might want to put some track rims on the rear.

Yeah I usually run 38psi on the street, Derek recommends tyre pressures slightly higher than what most ppl run on the street which would be 32psi.

If you have a cheaper set of rims I would put them on the rear. Tyre wear is quite minimal really unless you spin out alot or take the dry lines as CeJay mentioned, but I would still rather wear out my stockies than my 19s!

last time we had 8 people we all got 3 x 20 min runs and a 5 min run at the end :P

Good Times!

Here's a tip :):

check the level of your power steering fluid before you go and make sure it is topped up. Also take an old sock with you and cover the power steering fluid canister as it usually over flows a bit. Also full boost is not needed. i turn the boost right down to give the car a bit of a break.

Well at the moment I'm still in on this, but what turned from getting my car back monday/Tuesday this week from the smash repairers has blown out to this friday..... At the moment I'm not sure if i'll take the car out even if it's ready due to the paint. But either way I'll show up. Damn I'm in a shitty mood right now. :dry:

Anyways, thought I'd let everyone know, there "might" be a camera guy or two at the drift day, trying to get better at their techniques etc. So be on the lookout if they showup, might be able to get some footage of your car.

The rims i have i cant get an appropriate hub ring locator for and so have been advised not to use them on track. Does anyone have a pair of R33 or S15/14 5x114.3 stockies I can borrow? PM me or get me on 0414 610 499 PLEASE!!!

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
