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;)

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
