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.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
