If you’ve always wanted to have a go at drifting on the circuit, but didn’t want to attend a fully blown drift day, then we have a course that will suit you perfectly.

To be conducted at Sandown Raceway on Saturday 7th March 2009, this day is aimed at drivers who want to have a lot of fun and learn plenty about drifting from Australia's best professional drifters including Adam Newton, Luke Fink, and Chris Dejager.

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

The cost for this course is $195.00 including lunch and refreshments.

We’re taking bookings now, so if you’d like to attend please give Tessa a call on 1300 652 693

Hope to see you on the day

Kind regards

Kev

No one has put in a single comment about how the day was?? Strange..

Anyway, me and my mate in the chaser had had a ball! Was a little frustrating having to turn ur car on and off so frequently but was still a load of fun!

How do i contact the girl for the photos?? We left a little early so didnt have the chance to see her at 4pm..

i was thinking dean might have hurled after luke fink gave him the ride of his life... should have seen the SMILE on his face!

had a great day, managed to link turn's 2 and 3 and generally picked up a bit of skill :banana:

dean's car looked and sounded awesome! best sounding screamer pipe i have ever heard!

steve in the chaser was doing some awesome driving! as was dean

i think the highlight for me was everyone in my group scratching around for something to cut a camera's cable ties, to no avail, until an asian guy said, "oh, you wana knife.... here!" and pulled a decent size knife out of his pocket! at a drift day LOL!

with 300rwkw on tap i was having a bit of trouble in the wet tho.... had a much easier time in the dry bits!

all in all a sucessful day with plenty of fun had by all...

many thanx to wayne, kev and all the instructors

haha ur a classic m8! Was good to meet ya & thanks for the compliments above :). Your 33 is also a beautiful looking car.

About the knife thing.. that was by far the funniest thing of the day. No other words. Just the combination of the guy in a leather jacket with a hardcore japanese looking series 6 RX7 to have a knife hanging around in a pocket was just gold.

We need to do it again soon.. hopefully winton next time though for an open track day :D;)

    • Even with no BOV you will have issues unless the MAF is a hot film type like the R35 which has some design features to deal with reversion. Hot wire MAFs are very sensitive.
    • So i just change the (whatever is inside ma original MAF and slide the R34 MAF (it is gonna fit right in? ) and somewhere on the hot side a BoV...i presume that would be vented to the atmo? I just "trying" to understand...maybe my mechanic would know this   I would not mind(even prefer) to run stock BoV cuz it is way more than fine but i do not have that and only pipeing what is left is oem J pipe ... I will be running Blitz fmic(to fit oem one side style) and i gonna need custom pipes cuz i do not have rest of those pipes and hoses... But i am want standalone ECU. Only choice i have atm is Nistune...but that is not gonna cut it right?I dont know what Nistune can and cant do... I know you guys know Link and Haltech...but whatabout ECUmaster? I know guys in here run those but i literally do not know about that and do not know differences... Just know to take whatever "my" tuner can work on.  
    • Is that the blue one rpm?  
    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything.
