Hey all.

I live in the northern burbs of brizzy and looking to get into drifting. i was just wondering what tracks you can go drift on in the South East? Do they have to be avents or can you just rock up mid week and have a go without the crowd. I really want to give this a try legaly and prefably with out 300 people laughing at me when i hit a tyre wall. lol

I am interested in this one also, the only go i've had is doing the defensive driver course at Mt Cotton, not exactly a drift day but got to go on the skid pan as "slide control" as drifting is banned there. It was pretty sweet "slide controlling" the entire track hahaha. If anyone knows something about where and when a sau event is coming up pls pm me

There is heaps of drifting going on in the SEQ corner.

Archerfield run buy Option 1

Parklands on the Gold Coast run by race line

Queensland raceway has friday night practice events and state series for sorts.

Check all the promoters websites and secretdrift website for more info.

If you come out to a QR drift practice you won't hit a tyre wall unless you are TRYING to. Barriers on the other hand are a different story (last 2 practices I cleaned up the barriers showing off in front of the crowd...) The next Friday night drifts at QR are on the 9th of May I think and then again on the 30th of May. Come out and have a go, when you are out on the track at night no one will be able to pick which car is you anyway, so even if you drive like a bag of shit (like we all do from time to time) no will really know :D

Hi,

Every second Wednesday afternoon from 5pm-9pm at Archerfield we have a practice day for beginners or complete newbies. The crowd isn't huge and there are heaps of experienced drifters present to ask for advice. It is local, easy to get to and affordable being only $40 entry for the night. The next Wednesday night practice is the 23rd of April. We normally run Friday night drift comps as well for the more experienced but have just finished the last one recently. For more details, jump onto www.option1garage.com.au

Thanks.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
