stupid n/a diffs.. will there be any water on track or just dry? prob a waste of time for me if its dry unless i get a new diff lol.

i guess i could weld it lol.

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

Also tyres need to be inflated to at least 40 psi so you should be fine.

:P love my weldy...first thing I did to the car...and probably the best haha

Till you start twisting/poping drive shafts or breaking bushes, etc. :)

Mechanical LSD FTW!! :D

Yeah everyone keeps saying that. But i have spares just in case....LOL! Been close to 2 years now.

you guys think there will be an issue with oil to the engine as the car is being thrown sideways on high revs? Or are we all weak beginners that we cant throw it around hard enough to starve the engine of oil?

Do you think they will take video footage?

i really wanna see what it all looks like later on.

Im happy to pay for a video later or something it would just suck if we couldnt

that why i was going to bring a friend or two?

but yeah got comfimation and it says no spectators...?

A camera in the car just doesnt cut it for drifting....

If all the spots are booked out can we go watch and check it out?

Just to answer a few questions..

Sorry but there will be no SPECTATORS. So dont just turn up on the day. You wont get in.

And Yes the track will be wet. So your NA will be fine.

I dont belive the office girls will be there on the day.

Cheers..Wayne

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
