I was told anyone can have a go whether u've drifted before or not, is this true? and how much is it?

And what are the requirements?

yes anyone can drift providing they have a car and licence,

it cost $60 to drift, you will need a Cams L2NS licence i think cost about $50 maybe more and it lasts the year, also need to become a member of Wascc wich is a bit more expencive, you can get all this on the night,

for beginers they have instructors you can have in your car and they can take u to a seperate section of the track where you can learn a few techniques before you hit the big track,

Really, well that's a little more comforting. might see if i can save enough money by then, do you just rock up or need to put your name down??

Will be there, still undecided if I'll get out there and give it a go, been wanting to for a long time and this'll be last chance before I lose license, don't wanna break anything though. Can anyone confirm costs for a first timer? And what's the rules on the cars? Just no loose shit flying around? Only need long sleaves and hellmutt?

not sure about the costs for a first timer but it is all covered on www.driftwa.com and maybe www.wascc.com.au, You need CAMS L2NS Licence wich u can buy on the night for like $55, your first practice is free once u join Wascc,

You need a helmet that meets australian standards, long sleeve shirt and pants, enclosed shoes, no lose objects in the car

Was a good night, shame I had to leave around 7.30, I've had an irritating cough all week and was freezing my ass off. And the drive home takes so long. ;)

Slydr and the pink 32 repped the lines nicely. :laugh:

I can't wait to get out there sometime next year. I'll be practising in a 180 until I'm confident in getting the 34 out there.

hey all had an awsome night drifting, tyres only lasted me about 4-5 llaps before they was f**ked,

dad didnt have a good night, halfway through the night someone spun infront of him and he spun and the touno cover went through the back window and flew off, he smashed out the window and went back onto track, he started going pretty good but going down the straight at approx 150kph the radiator blew and when he when into cat corner it turned around on him realy quick and when into the wall, car bit f**ked, exhaust came off and bent all weird (me cable ties and heat wrap fixed it :cool: ) the drivers side from door back is pushed in and flat in the shape of the wall, havnt had a chance to check out it better but the back right off the car is slouching really low so might be a fair bit of damage, pics up soon

I went last night and it was awesome, slydr was really tearing it up :D I also loved the little corolla that was running on wires at one point along with the R31 with the awesome dose sound. I saw NA_Goodness in the carpark and a white gtst that was parked a car away from me with "hi" written in the dirt on the rear bumper :cool: All in all great night and when is the next one?

    • Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.
    • Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-
    • Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
    • Damn you’ve done well, definitely snapping necks.
    • Great weekend and event. Open fire at the caravan park, perfect weather all day and a great feed and a couple of drinks at at awesome country pub.
