It Is With Great Regret That Vicdrift Informs You That All Events At Calder Park Have Been Cancelled...


Recommended Posts

Helmet rollcage and long pants and top. also a fire ext is needed but they are $30 bucks from repco or autobarn

is a roll cage a requirement for one of these days?

any chance of using sandown, was planning on going to one at calder in the near future but winton is too far, especially if i break something and cant drive it home.

I reckon they should (and probably will) Bulldoze that shit hole poor excuse for a run down motor sport track. It's old, unmanaged and past it's used by date.

Victoria REALLY needs a new decent venue...

if someone was going to build a new venue it would have been done by now, its not so i cant see it happening, there fore if they bulldoze calder the only thing we have is sandown or winton, and winton is way too far.

So Phillip Island has been detached from Victoria has it - :laughing-smiley-014:

but they dont hold drift days there....

victoria needs to be more like SA.. their full on with their drifting and have awesome tracks

once again too far, i think, what is it, 2 hours away, have not been there since i was a kid.

i agree.

where abouts is winton and phillip island not too far from me about 45 min to 1 hour maybe 30 min nice cruise too for phillip island its one stright road :)

Yeah winton is 2 hrs up the hume. I also wouldnt worry about braking your car because alot of the guys are happy to help out when that happens and alot of guys carry spares or tow their car up so you may even be able to find a lift back. Also you dont need a cage to drive.. you only need a cage if you are wanting to take passengers in ur car

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
