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..

    • Hey guys, Just want some advice on r34 GTT ac system. Since I’ve owned it, the ac compressor, doesn’t matter the set temperature or ambient temperature, runs for around 10 seconds then disengages the clutch, then re-engages everywhere 30 seconds or so and keeps repeating this.    is this normal?   I had it recharged today as it was slightly low and thought it would fix it but still does it. it cools fine in summer even prior to the recharge, except for the usual warmup when stopped or in traffic (still yet to wire overheat fan to on with ac)   any thoughts would be much appreciated 
    • To plug the hole. The engine plant may not have known whether the car it was going into had a gauge or not. It was a long time ago and the integrations might not have been fully modern. Or they might not have cared because the extra inventory and processes to save a few cents on the sender might have cost more anyway. But please tell me you are not still confusing the idea of a pressure gauge sender, and an oil pressure light switch. The switch will be out there. In a separate hole. Probably with only one wire running to it. Running the light.
    • Blower needs to go low on the exhaust side, displacing the AC and PS, which you have to decide whether you want to keep and how and where to relocate if you do. Electric option for PS is, at least, helpful. Sadly, there is no workable 12V electric AC of any value. Whilst the blower is the last compression step before the throttle, and so it might seem a good idea to have it near the inlet manifold (as mentioned above), you probably want it to go through an intercooler first, so, having it on the opposite side of the car facilitates that air flow path. The turbo discharges into the blower, so proximity of the turbo's compressor outlet to the blower's inlet is nice. But then you might want to intercool that too, before boosting it again....which would probably be a ball ache. Routing pipes out to the front and back could be a bit shit. If there was room for (at least) a small (but preferably larger) water to air core on that side, then that would probably be the best approach. I guess a reasonable alternative would be to locate the blower where the alternator is (more or less, associated with the inlet manifold, per Matt's thought), and somehow incorporate a water to air core into the manifold, sort of like they do for modern blown V8s. The big difference here though is that those V8s have only the one throttle (upstream the blower) and only the one compression step (the blower) and no need for too much in the way of bypass/blowoff valves. Whereas in a twin charged 6, you do need to think about one or two bypass valves associated with the 2 compressors and you would prefer to have the intercooling done before the air has to pass through the throttle. You'd like the throttle to work approx the same no matter what the compression is doing. But if it is located in hot air stream before a cooler, then sometimes the air will be real hot, sometimes it will be quite cool, and the throttle mapping/response will be quite different between those two cases. The throttle, if sized for hot air, would be too large for cold conditions. It's all a ball ache.
    • Package SC on exhaust side. Remote mount turbo. Still a fair bit of room when you get creative on the inlet side of the motor too. Especially if you can get really creative with the welding, and effectively build it into the bottom of the inlet manifold. Would definitely take some design work, and some trial and error, to make sure flow works well still! Might be easier to just start with the Nissan March though... All the work is already done for you...
