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

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
