My preparation consisted of applying the sauwa decal, adjusting the clutch after replacing the master cylinder, and then attacking the radiator mounts with a 5" angle grinder.. Nothing like a bit of tough love.

sweet sam, maybe you can give me a few pointers :)

lol ok, dont do what i do, last time i got in trouble for drifting,

i got confused and didnt know the track so i kind went skidskid, they came and started to tell me i was setting a bad example and they didnt want other drivers copying me, and as they said that a ss ute that was on the pan drifted into one of the signs,

Really?

Last time i went the lady instructor was really nice. Quite a few poeple were doing full on drifting and she never said a word about setting a bad example.

I think she was more concerned if they dont do it here in a controlled environment they will do it out on the street. Which i think is a good mentality rather then not allowing it.

From my understanding, they will allow you to do whatever you want.

As long as it does not

Endanger you, or the instructor in your vehicle

Endanger spectators

Or damage their property, which includes the tarmac. So no standstills.

If you 'lose it' the instructor in the vehicle will try to talk you through what to do, to get out of the mess you made :P

Yeah the only time I was told off was when I did pretty much the same thing.. over cooked it and spun out then kept my boot into it turning it into a big smokey 2nd gear burnout.. they weren't as happy as I was :P lol

As i know you only get 3 months some people say 2 weeks

i drove it for 1 year lol

but my eaststate rego has expried! so need go over the pits but just wont have money to attend to the event cause need pay transfer fee asweel as renewal could be something like 700 bux

lol i didnt lose it i did it for the crowd ofcourse,

lol jkn

but this time i will be smashing 3rd

:D

lol I tried to hit 3rd while sideways once.. something didn't like it.. haven't tried since lol

With my gearing though 3rd is pretty tall.. might have worked better if I still had 4.3s..

lol, my r32 will now spin 3rd without clutch with 205/55R16s,

now i drift on 235/45R17s on a 9inch wide rim i have to either be already sideways when i smack 3rd or with a feint drift entry

Nice!

My bad though, I have hit 3rd once while sideways and that was with 225/45/17 LingLongs, RB20 gearbox and 4.3:1 diff ratios.

235/45/17 595SS's, 3.9:1, doesn't like it so much now.. only a couple more months then GT35R will be on and I *should* be able to roll on in 4th and fry the tyres :thumbsup:

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
