pt g isnt open for drift currently, they had problems with getting insurance to cover drifters on the track. Hoping they sort it out for this year though.

Yes, perfect track(if you can call it that :thumbsup:) to learn, but I am not holding my breath for pt Gawler, very low chances of it opening again for drift which is sad really. I hope Im proved wrong though.

But yes keep it to the track bud, you end up hittin all sorts of obstacles that are likely to cross your path whn learning :) , trees, poles, bushes, lakes, and bloody gutters (I hate the bloody things) hahah

Not to mention endangering your life and others in the process.

Cheers

And I highly doubt Pt G will be open to everyone and anyone. John was getting shitty at new drivers destroying the edge of his track, so I have a feeling we may see some limitations as to who will be on it.

not wanting to start a fight or anything like that, but doesnt that defeat the whole purpose of opening Pt G up? What if people (like myself) want to get out on more occasions, seems by that we wont be allowed to go to Pt G because we're n00bs

not that id really give a shit, im just looking to get as much track time as i can, and best value for money out of my car (considering its going to be sitting in the shed from now on when its not on track, maybe driven on a permit on the street)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
