Recommended Posts

yeah drift days would be good.

I'm considering looking into them as well but I think it should be a drift competion Like drift tengouku and use the skid pan as the prcatice days I ahve heard great things about the skid pan and I might be going out to one my self.

cheers

hey,, i missed this thread....

i'm organising the next drift training on a skidpan... nothing compared to JMS event in adelaide, but at least it allows ppl to experience sideways action while absolutely know nothing about it....

the instructor was actually keen on starting a local drift scene in VIC, having trying to run a full drift day. However, (sadly) the response has not been very positive. At this moment I don't think we have any sponsors, so anyone going will have to fork out around $200-300 bucks for it, and that is one of the reason that deters most of us... all these is mainly to pay for use of facility, as proper race tracks are quite expensive to rent, not to mention that some location requires a certain level of public liability insurance, which can get really really expensive!

Probably if we can get some sponsor support, then things like what's been going on in SA, QLD can also happens here...

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
