This weekend Eastern Creek Raceway will hold the fourth round of the Drift Australia series.

I will be there all weekend with the Federal Tyres crew, we will have a big tent and display with give aways and goodies for sale, I hope that there will be plenty of SAU'ers coming to watch the action!

Make sure that you come to the Federal tent say G'day, have a close look at Nathan Weissel's awesome Federal Tyres R32 Skyline drift car and I'll shout you some freebies!

Hope to see many of you there! :O

Cheers

Mick

Great day today, perfect weather. Shame about Nates troubles re: stripping driveshaft spline on saturday, and having to replace the turbo today due to (we think) oil starvation :cool:

You have to start young if you wanna be the next generation of Drift Queen

So yea, was there all day Sunday. Had loads of fun :) Was in the pits, watched some stunting :banana: dropped by at the federal garage...but nobody there :D

Saw heaps of skylines, almost looked like a show 'n' shine where everyone parked :D

Ill get some pics of my mate shortly, who took around 600....... ;)

I have to appologise to everyone who came past the Federal tent when I wasnt there, it turned out that we had a major shortage of tyres for some of our sponsored drivers so we spent most of Saturday chasing them down, then on Sunday we had to go to our Taren Point warehouse and pick them up (fairly long drive from Eastern Creek to Taren Point) but we ended up getting the tyres in time and everything went to plan. ;)

It was a very busy weekend for us but we still had a blast!

Thanks to all those who came to watch the action. :D

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
