Yeah AzzurrA I must admit I was a bit :P when I heard they actually charge spectators

ive been to the last 6 saturday sprints at QR and they sure dont charge so yeah - surprised me a bit

but like Anna said - it comes down to the fact that people want to see it

(more so than watching porches, etc etc race)

as for old tyres - thanks for the advice peoples - will come one day but not this month im afraid

(have some serious money issues :()

there is no pressure, the spectators know its practice, alot of them are just friends of the people out on track.

so i wouldnt worry.. trust me i gaurentee ill be pretty average out there... depending on what part of the track we are drifting

there are 3 different Drift events held by QR

Friday nights are a practice night. you can access the track for $80 or get on the skidpan for $50.

Saturday nights are a competition night that is aimed at getting more newbs into competition. There are no tandem battles, it is purely points based.

Sundays is the DriftState competiton which is run like a traditional drift comp with 1-16 battling it out in Group A and 17-32 battling in Group B.

What time does the Saturday night event start?

I might give this a go for the fun of it~ :P But it sounds pressurizing, i'd very much rather attend some kindda non-spectated drift practice session, given the fact that i've got no drifting experience.

nah man its fun as.

just take a racing line and power over at the start of the corner and counter steer....thats how i started...now i use the hand brake for some good entries.

fun fun

Im the same as you - want to have a go but am scared of the shame !

Well my first run on the track will be the 1st of June, im sure i will stuff up, but hey thats why it is called the drift practice, all got to start somewhere, i'd rather learn on the track then do it on the street

skidpan is on the same night, its boundary is the plastic road block's filled with water

its $50 to go on skid pan.. its soaked with diesel

i dont believe they soak it with desiel, and i think the barriers are empty....though they still cause damage.

if you pay to go on the track the skid pan is included.

and it is a mad arse night guys...heaps of fun..i have been doing it for 8 months now.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
