Hey guys,

Considering doing one of these in my V35, but the question i have is, is it worth it on an auto?

My other problem is that there is no handbrake, but a foot park brake instead.

Any thoughts?

I've seen a couple of guys go out and do this day in an auto. You shouldn't have a problem just stick in the lower gears.

I have noticed alot of people, including me don't use the hand break. There is a neater way to get around to not using it and Boz and the boys can show you either way.

Cheers,

Corinne

it was fun, i need pics and videos 2. still waiting from the first one ofr pics lol.

there is one set of pics up already over on autosprts website, but we should put some on here as i will find it easier :P

The Z4? your kidding.Even tho i didnt partake in the activities it was great to poke fun at the silvia drivers (wannabe drifters) it seems if they see it on TV then they must be able to do it themselves.

Eug. Great to see your car up close. Pumping 300kw out of a 2835 at 1 bar is awesome.Will definately be out there for the next one.

Hurry up and organize the next one Corrine :P

That was awesome fun. didn't think a rebuilt a rebuilt diff would help some much. So much better than lighting up the inside wheel.

Thanks again Eugine for letting me have a go of your car and sorry about busting the belt buckle, I do get a little excited in a powerful car lol.

I almost won the shootout but i did win turbo rear wheel drive class by a decent amount and i think i will be going to number four to. i have a little bit of footage from the day but not much of anybody but me and my mate in the white 180.

craig did u end up going?

how was it?

yep.

was a blast.i think next time though i will go out with some decent sized rubber on the rear.i had the stockers on.good to get the tail out and keep it there on the limit but not so good if you are after times..the funny thing was,that i never new that every stage was going to be timed untill i got there..good times..

i liked the shoot out at the end of the day.was definantly a highlight of the day.

you broke the belt buckle.poor eugene.see why i never let you drive mine..nah just kidding.im a bit paranoid when it comes to other people driving my car josh.they have crashed it before.and it is allways in the back of my mind.you should have heard your gf giving you props on your "accidental slideing" out on the road when in the wet.she says you hold it like a pro.hehe.

i might come out of retirement for this one....the first skidpan day this year was dominated by skylines, the top 3 rwd turbo were skyline, 2 r33 S2, one R33 4 door. I took out the class.....

but im in the AWD class now, gotta mix it with the big boys....

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
