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;)

    • 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)
    • 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    
    • 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  
    • 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.
    • 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.
