If you’ve always wanted to have a go at drifting on the circuit, but didn’t want to attend a fully blown drift day, then we have a course that will suit you perfectly.

To be conducted at Sandown on 17th January 2009, this day is aimed at drivers who want to have a lot of fun and learn plenty about drifting from Australia's best professional drifters including Adam Newton and Luke Fink.

The exercises will be conducted on wet roads to keep the speeds down and minimize wear and tear on your car.

The cost for this course is $195.00 including lunch and refreshments.

We’re taking bookings now, so if you’d like to attend give us a call on 1300 652 693

who in their right mind would drive an auto sk.....oh....

I've organized early skidpan days in 2003, and there's some auto cars attended, including a benz, which are purrfectly fine for drifting.

It's the driver who drifts, not the car. If you got skills you can even drift a rickshaw if you really try hard...

will a tiptronic with foot brake (not hand brake) will cut it?

well if u block, by putting a chunk of wood or something there, the release lever so it'll always release the hand brake when ur foot's off it shud work.

so i'm guesing this is gonna happen in the car park? how much track time each?

is this the same as a cams event so needed is a day's cam's license and gear would be required such as adr helmet long sleeve's and closed footwear ?

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
