Recommended Posts

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....

just pass your cam off to one of the driver thats waiting in line for their turn. cant guarantee the quality of the cameraman but you will get some footage.

your gonna need a lot of throttle control to drift your beast in the wet al :spank:

From what i have heard you aren't shy on power either. I bet my torque and power will be easier to control than yours. :devil:

Just have a look how progressive my power curve is and how flat the torque graph is, especially on low boost, and how early they come in. NO LAG FTMFW!!!!! :devil:

At my last Advanced Driver Training day, with Driver Dynamics, they wet the first corner and got us to stomp the accelerator from 40km/h, in 2nd gear; car went round that corner sideways nicely, 4 times. On the last run the instructor asked me to not use the throttle to regain control, just so that the car gets out of shape.

Damn this is going to be sooo much fun!! :spank:

PS: No Westies interested in driving to Sandown together?

Im looking forwards to the day, just need to finish off my serge tank first.

My lovely wife brought me the training day as a chrissy present.

Sounds like there is a few people going from here, will be nice to meet some of you.

Cheers

my stupid puss box shitter has major issues...dont know if she will be attending, anyone chasing a place please pm me, in its current state it wont be sliding anywhere.... :cheers: I'm hoping to get her fixed prior to this...but its not looking too good at moment. So if your keen let me know, I should have a def answer around the 10th of Jan.

As you can imagine i f*&ken wrapped about it.

DD said is was non refundable, they actually have a wait list? now im confused...lol but given how close to the event date I'll know if my car is going to be ok, i guess i dont really qualify for this either :( I'll let you know as no one else has contacted me about it!

well things have gone from bad to worse with my car *cries* had a mate come over today to have a look at it, once we had the timing correct...the newly installed water pump smashed...I guess this was the noise, I was so worried about. Lucky I didnt drive it. Towing it back to the guys who installed the water pump on monday, so I'm touch and go for the event. B1(MR_fanny) Ill have to wait and see what the mechanics say. But as I just paid for the timing belt and water pump to be done, I cant see how this is at all my fault. Its been a right pain in the ass not having a car over xmas and new year....

no worries, fairs, fair. So do I, I only got the bloody lot replaced so I could feel more comfortable at the event....its amazing how things have a way of biting you on the ass...lol

Sorry to hear about your run of bad luck Danielle, especially during this time of the year. Hope all will be sorted before the event.

Cheers huni.I guess you know all too well what it like to be without your car.!!! If I dont make this event, I think I'll have a 99 cent ebay auction...for the whole farking car...LOL

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
