Hey guys, im attending the next Driver Dynamics track day at Sandown on the 7th of March and just thought id get some peoples opinions on their experience there if theyd been before.

Are u let free on the track at all or are u stuck doing little handbrake turn exercises and constantly stopping and starting? Feel free to give me all the goods and the bads.

And ALSO post up any pics that the professional photographers take of ur car on the day... or even links to videos... thanks!

Dean

You need to understand this very clearly:

It's called a Drift TRAINING Day. So you are not "let free on the track".

Having said that i found the day absolutely awesome and wish i had the time/funds to enter again. Learnt a few things and wouldn't mind a refresher course.

If you want to learn the basic principals of drift, this is great. Otherwise you need to go to a VIC Drift day @ Winton.

The Photo CD from Jarrod is totally worth it!!!

its stop and start but for a reason...theres only one instructor per section so he cant sit in all the cars at the one time..ha. as Al said its a training day not a drif practice day. Learn the basics and then go to winton to let loose.

I absolutely enjoyed the day...bring a hat and some sunscreen.

The track is kept wet for the most part, but would obviously dry a little till the water truck came round again. I actually stopped the water truck till after i finished my turn, just found that my car had no problems loosing traction :).

Events:

- 180' handbrake turn

- 360' skidpan round a tight radius

- Left hand drift

- Linked Right and Left drift

- Right hand drift.

The order depends on the group you are in, but it's all fun :)

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
