Hey guys i'm not sure if this has been done before, but it was just like a lil idea i came up with. I love drifting and i love cruising so why not combine the two together and cruise up to the drifts.

Round 3 is on the 19th of April. So gives me feedback on wat u think, and also good meet points for a Saturday afternoon.

________________________________________________________________________________

1st meet point will be at Mandurah @ the old House Works at 11am and depart at 11.30.

2nd meet point will be in Freo @ Eshed markets at about 12.30 depart at 1pmish depending on the traffic.

3rd meet point will be in Perth @ City West at about 1.30pm, then we'll head to the drifts with a couple of other stops.

This cruise will end at the drifts so eveyone can stay as long as they want.

Cheers and lookin forward to seein many of you there.

Im as big a drift nut than most of the ppl on here, only problem i see with cruise to the drifts is last event was really poor, not many decent cars out there and the efforts of that 300zx just made me yack! good idea but it seems wa drifting is not as good as last year... no offence intended at all to anyone, just my two cents.

Is it just me or are the good WA drifters moving to SA?

But hey, good idea, just not sure of the turnout, i would say yes but after last event im just not that keen eh...

Fair enough, thanks for the feedback tho. Thats why i'm askin in advance coz i dont wanna bother if it gonna be a shit turnout. But keep watch and u may be surprised lol ppl may actually come. I will be running it with Club Motovate, our turn out on saturday was pretty big. i think we had about 40 cars, all performance and all imports except for an XR6 Turbs who came along for the ride.

I'm gonna post it on other sites ie Aus300zx, Tuned WA, Antilag etc and see wat their responses are like.

Cheers

Mate, regardless people are still going to be interested in cruising so if it ends at the drift point its a win win for everyone, if your so confident in your drifting you should forward your application also and take some of there spots who drift "poor"

I think it would still be ok, even if the standard of drifting isnt spectacular in wa, i think just the general awareness of the sport will be good to see, I for one have never watched drifting live so maybe "amatuers" will still be good for me. Plus the cruise is still there also, I think its a good idea mate, Maybe just limit our time there so we get a good taste and enjoy it without getting bored and keep cruising? Just an idea.

Yeah tru, maybe stay there for 2 hours, and then head off. Try get a time scheduele happening. I got there at about 2.30 last time and it was the last couple of runs which were the best of the lot anyways. We dont really need to see the qualifying. We could have a bit of a look around at the cars n a bite to eat too.

Any drifting is good for me, i'm hopefully goin to Japan in May, so i'll be able to witness REAL drifting haha.

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
