Well, why not drift aussie sedans? The later model hypo 6's and 8's are basically lineball on power, weight and size with the larger Jap sedans that are popular for drift over there. The smart wannabe drifter would look for an older XR6 or something, rather than all this "JDM" wannabe "I'm gonna build a full sick sileighty doriftor when I get my P's" nonsense.

I personally would love to hear some growling V8's and big cube NA sixes going hammer and tongs at sideways action at a drift meet, amongst all the SR's and RB-DET's.

cheers,

floody

Jap drifters are the best, I have seen a couple of good aussie drifters and one of them is Denso from japanese motorsports.

Get some of the HPI DVD's and they have a drift section on each dvd, #5 & 6 are pretty good.

What can i say? Drifting has always been here, but on a pathetic minute scale. The good thing is, its only going to get bigger. With more and more public interest its only a matter of time untill we get a proper event going...But who will start it? where will it be held?...Im in brisbane and all i can think about day and night is drifting...some would say im a dickhead for thinking of it so much....but its like a drug, and with any drug you can get addicted...and with addictions, people go to extreems to get what they want, weather it be drifting in industrial area's or on main roads near schools...its gonna keep happening and sooner or later there are going to be lots of throttle happy teenagers out there with cheap hot imports running over shit left right and center. WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? We are the drivers, and we are the future of this sport... It needs a better reputation for a sport instead of just being thought of as "kids getting it sideways"

It's an half day thing with ard 20 cars lining up to dorift. Nothing to crash and all out to burn some rubbers!

check out boostcruising.com or nissansilvia.com under qld section

It's organized by Driftzone...go to driftzone.com or tyre select for more info.

I haven't got the chance to get a ps2 but still love the GT2 on seattle circuit, continously burning rubbers near 100% of track!!! Full mod s13 ca18, super hard suspension set up and some serious camber! I never really tested out which setup is the best but love the way it is now.

yeh i dont really know of any drifters near me...

i got a mate on ns.com wit an s14a we go to drift meets together....cant wait till i get my licence back...i have the helmet, the fireproof suit, and the proper racing shoes and gloves.......come on 24th november!!! "licence day" hehehe

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
