Hmmm i was checking out vicdrift but im not too sure because you have to drift with alot of cars and being brand new the last thing i wanna do is crash into someone.. Checked for the skid pan days on Kev's website but after looking through 6 months of the calender still didnt see any days scheduled..

Was also looking for something maybe even 1-to-1 to learn properly how to do everything..

i started at winton and calder.. the VICDRIFT guys hold nights and stuff.. been to around 6 - 7 nights or so.. learnt heaps! and you can do solo runs

at calder and winton.. Chris DeJager does runs with beginners (hese a DA driver) plus you can just speak to others who drift there and they are also pro such as Luke Fink and Drift Cat..

na 90 bucks entry.. you can chose whateva u want, to go beginners and get someone to teach you, or drift against others and do solo runs..

i started off with solo runs incase i stuffed up (and i have heaps of times) but then you get your confidence and drift with others.. i mainly go against my brother because he started to teach me to drift when i was 17

go to the practise days.. i suggest do your suspension first... get urself a 2way diff or a locker.. get some power out of your car then hit the track.. nothing worse than learning with an unprepared car.

Hey mate. 2nd hand mechanical lsd or locker should be between 500 and 1000. I might have a locker (spool) you can buy for 500 in a few weeks after I put in my new 2 way. Not very comfortable for daily driving though!

Hmmm i think before i start spending money on things like suspension for drifting im just gonna take a course where the cars are supplied.. That way i can learn then build up a drift car after that.. Is coilovers okay to use if i wanna just try a solo run?

Yeah I wouldnt mind knowing that too, On my car i just have the basics (intercooler, exhaust, coilovers, fuel pump) plus this sunday putting in heavy duty clutch + boost controller + boost gauge, so with a car thats pretty much stock, I also wander what effect it would have on the car if it was used for drifting..

its not bad if its setup right.. tyres cop a pounding if camber and toe isnt set up right. You use your handbrake alot, so have it adjusted right, make sure your tune is PERFECT because your revving your car pretty hard, its pretty much revving and heat issues.. have them covered and your alright.

ISC coilovers are good for drift, any coilovers with a hard spring rate is good.

its hard to drift in a stock skyline compared to a silvia.. having drifted both of them (not stock) the 180sx was heaps better to drift, better suspension but less power and the skyline had more power but less of a suspension setup..

cosmo: i dont think you can do a course where u drive the cars..

    • Hello everyone. I believe I have s1 headlights but I just wanted to make sure and getting confirmation from you all. Thanks in advance for your help!
    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
