Hey guys,

IDA have organised to a "Test" Drift Day at the new Marulan Driver Training Centre, 31 Jan 2009. This day is being used as a trial for suitability for future drift days.

Anyway, they have arrange for a few Drift Australia Drivers as well as some other experienced drivers to come and test out the Track. It looks like a very fun track and reminds me of some jap tracks.

Myself and Quakin will be heading up on Saturday morning to have a look. I timed the Drive from Marulan to Civic yesterday and it was exactly a 1 hour drive.

Here is some video of the track

Its tight and narrow, with the only safe place to overtake on a relatively short straight. If they don't move over for you, you can't get past without going off the track i.e. if they sit in the middle.

If you want a decent run without having to slow down for other cars, you have to back off and wait a while to make a gap, then get into it, as you will see Mark doing in the GTR in front of the car with the camera.

From Pete:

For anyone interested(from sydney) on cruising down with us, we will be meeting at Camden Valley Way McDonalds at 6:30 and departing at 6:45. It is located right near the M5 and M7 intersection for those who are unsure where it is.

From here we will be travelling down and stopping at the BP to top up on juice and then heading to the track which is only another 10 -15 minutes drive.

When we get there, not much will be happening for the first 1hr to 1-1/2 so if you want to sleep in a little and come later then you won't miss out on too much.

Please be aware that this is not a full tilt drift day, there will be stopages throughout the day for discussions with drivers and so on so don't be expecting too much. If you want to check out the track, then you are more then welcome to come.

It will more then likely start around the normal start time of 9-930am and finish around the 4:30 mark.

Here are the directions on how to get there.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
