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.

There was a guy called Ryan in the group that I was in yesterday, drove a Grey Skyline (R33 i think?). Ryan, not sure if you're a member here or not, but if you are, please send me a PM, I have the video footage from when we attached the camera to your car, I can send it to you.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
