What an awesome event/day!!!!!!

Big thanks to all the DD team, D1 instructors and Jarrod (R32Big_boy) for all the cool pics with his huge ass professional camera gear, that CD is worth every dollar mate. Thanks guys for giving up a Saturday arvo to teach us want-to-be drifters how the job is done :)

Waiting in anticipation for the next one!! So Kev get the ball rollin' mate :)

Luke (nutr33) time for you to hit winton, with the vicdrift mob, your farm learnt skills are wasted at a training day.

To those that are SAU VIC members hope to see you all at the next SAU DECA day, just as much fun, with more room to play :(.

Hey all,

My name's John, I was at the drift day today, but I was one of the few people not driving a Skyline, I was driving the old BMW M5. I gotta hand it to you guys, I do heaps of track days with Driver Dynamics, and there are always more Skylines (mostly SAU members) than any other model of car, it's good to meet other people that share my passion for this stuff.

Met some new people today, and caught up with a lot of people that I had met before too.

This was my first drift day, although I did a skidpan day with Driver Dynamics out at Attwood a few years ago. I learnt heaps today, still got heaps more to learn so can't wait till the next one.

Anyway, just popped by to say hi, hope to see some of you guys again soon at another track day

Cheers

John

PS DVSMUM., I forgot to tell you something important about the camera that I had mounted on my car, the sound quality is not good at all unfortunatly, check my youtube vids to see what I mean. Ibeleive that they have released a newer model that has better sound, but I've never used it so I don't know. Next time, I might try drilling a hole in the waterproof case and see if that helps the sound at all.

What a great day, I didnt drive but helped out a little bit, was great to see everyone having such a great time, and everyone behaving themselves so well. Well done to Kev and the team and all the DA guys instructing.

Oh.....that black M5 is pure sex on wheels, love it.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason 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).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that 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!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @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.
