Got to into the event at 7am on Saturday, drove on the grass "show and shine" area looking for SilviaWA's spot. I could not find it so i asked one of the men on the golf buggies, he informed me that everyone was just parking where ever they liked and there was on set spots. So i drive up and parked on the section on top of the retaining all, then the fords and commodores followed. By the time all of the 30 Silviawa people had rocked up you couldn't get your car out...

Then we lined up for the "powercruise" after 2 1/2 hrs we make it down into the staging lanes and set off into the track....

Sunday came and i decided to not drive the car and parked it up with the drift demo cars and spent the rest of the day being a passenger in my boyfriends drift car.

I thought that it was very disorganized which was a great disappointment.

Dani, you were lined up a couple of cars in front of me for the "powercruise" your lights look awesome!!

Powercruise was ok, didnt like the "big 5o man" doing a 360 infront of a silvia drifting made the poor drifter go of the track to avoid him :) . also saw Angr33's car I think those lights are awsome made me laugh when i read the plate, nice looking car mate.

Would of prefered some more drifting events but oh well :)

Yeah was a bit Disorganized sat in the car waiting to get off the track for 30mins after the off street drag racing practice after only getting 3 runs in 2 hours but still enjoyed it overall.next year should be better organized hopefully!!!

i agree with the comments about the waiting time..just takes up too much time and i even took a nap in the car!! but it was well worth it when we got onto the track :bunny: lotsa good-looking cars too!

heres some pix/vids of the day.

but the only skyline related thing i got was Steves GTR on the track

look in the video section for it.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
