Hey guys,

After watching a skidpan session at Mt Cotton (was cruising past and saw a couple of R34's), i am keen to have a go and learn some stuff at one for myself!

I am a complete newbie to drifting and any kind of crazy 'advanced' driving, and expect to be pretty shit... is there any requirement knowledge/experience wise or am i right to jump in and give it all a go?

Thanks guys!

Ryan

Jump in at the deep end and give it a go. Thats what I did :(

Before my first night out all I had to help me was Initial D, youtube videos and general reading about how to. I went out in Josh's old r32 for a lap just to get a bit of a feel for how things were going to go and then off I went by myself.

Obviously first time expect to spin out like a crazy man on drugs but thats arguably just as much fun as drifting.

I suppose you could have someone teach you but I must say I love everytime I try doing something on track different and having it work makes me feel warm and fuzzy :(

how much would a tow truck cost to bring back to brisbane CBD area :dry: i dont think my clutch would last the night hehe. Almost tempted to give it a go tho. How many people usually attend? how many cars aloud on track at a time? how much track time do you actually get for you money?

Sorry for the questions, just keen to get some info.

Cheers Jason

No idea on towing costs but I'd assume a couple hundred.

There is usually around 30 cars? They are all allowed on track at the same time but not in the drifting areas. You line up before the start of each of the two tracks.

$80(if you already have licence) 3.5hrs - 4hrs. Generally do 1 lap every 5mins or so.

dont know how much for a tow truck lol

as for how many people go a good 50 cars from what ive seen each time ive gone.

cars on track can be lots as they have lights and people to direct the traffic on the track.

as info above says you should get 4-5ish hours on track.

if you really want more official information call the number above.

1800 RACERS

hope to see you out there :dry:

anyway

I'm leaving from Gold Coast today at 1:30pm sharp housie

Burleigh Heads to be more certain then heading up the M1 Hwy

Let me know if you want to come along.

Well that was a f*kload of fun :) I can't figure out why I haven't been out on track in 3 months...

Unfortunatly my left front strut has a leak of sorts and is f*ked :( Also picked up a crack in the front bar from a bunch of tyres :)

And omg, I still can't beleive Noel brought out his skyline the crazy f*ker. My back is hurting from that lol

Lol. I don't have the power to burn through tyres :( it's great lol. 1 set of brand new tyres and they are on canvas now. I got them for free as well so $0 spent on tyres last night.

As soon as my court case bullshit is over and I can spend my saved $ on the car i'll be going through sets like a crazy man.

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
