The 5th and final round of the 2007 Toyo Drift Australia Series is shaping up to be the biggest and most exciting drift event in Australian history as all of the country's elite drivers and professional teams head to Sydney's Oran Park Raceway this weekend (September 22-23).

With 500 championship points on offer and only 187 separating the top 8 drivers, the championship finale is set to become a monumental 'winner-take-all' battle.

At the top of the points table, Robbie "The Mad Irishman" Bolger is looking to power his way into the history books with his incredible 800hp V8 Holden Monaro. "Winning the championship would be dream come true" said Bolger. "Drifting started in Japan and is dominated by high performance Japanese imports so winning the Australian Drift Championship in a big Aussie V8 would be sensational."

Hot on Bolger's heals and leading the charge for the Japanese imports is South Australia's 'Corporal' Christian Pickering in the Team CTS Nissan 180SX. Third is WA's Adam 'Borneo' Trewhella in the big Nissan Cefiro. 2005 series winner Darren 'Afro' Appleton is 4th in his Nissan 180SX. Fifth is Round 4 winner Fernando Wiehrl in the chrome Auto Salon Industrie Adrenalin S15 Silvia. Sixth is the reigning Australian Drift Champion Beau 'The Show' Yates who stole victory from Bolger in a winner take all final battle at Oran Park last year in his legendary Toyota Sprinter. Seventh is Leighton Fine in the Team Peer Nissan Onevia and rounding out the top 8 is 'Turbo' Tom Monkhouse, winner of Round 3 at Eastern Creek in his Nissan 180SX.

In addition to the Toyo Drift Australia Series final which will decide who will be crowned Australian Drift Champion, the event also includes the final round of the 2007 Super Drift Series, Team Drift action and the Toyo Drift Expression Session.

Off track entertainment includes the Auto Salon Magazine Show n Shine, a back-flipping freestyle minibike display, extreme mototrials demonstrations while Oran Park's North Circuit will feature non-stop Stunt bike and Supermoto Mayhem action.

I went on Saturday and I must say the scene has really stepped up a notch, semi trailer transporters, cars covered in sponsors, way less damaged cars left in primer its really good to see this sport lifting and gaining interest of the corporate world and spectators.

What a day

My mate Nath finished 4th- Would have been 3rd, put he somehow managed to select 1st instead of 3rd coming into turn 1 and spun ><, first time in 2 years :laugh:

i seen that.i thought what the hell is going on.it looked as though he was going great guns and then all of a sudden he spun.he had a top weekend though.the competition was pretty feirce.fernando was on song.and chris was doing well to make it into the top 8 imo.even he had a stuff up.

dan is still trying to get a hold on the car from the looks of it.the old boat looks really twitchy from where i was.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
