Now you just need to hold them closer to town, winton as way too far, especially for some one like me who wants to drive there have fun and drive home, a tow truck back from winton is just not an option.

its only 2.5 hours.

From frankston its a bit over 3 hours, so thats 6hrs to get there and back, i believe with the even with scrutineering and everything else is pretty much an 8hr day, thats 14 hrs, if you have to organise a tow truck back to frankston that makes it even more time and a lot more $$, and if you cant get one your screwed.

Where if we could get something going at calder, sandown or phillip island it would be a lot more user friendly.

Still want to buy and old boxy corolla and turn that into a fun drift/track car, then it wont be so much of a hassle, but still its a 14hr day plus all the shit in the days leading up.

Just man up and do it legally. As you say. Sh1t happens but drive in your limits and it's not gunna happen every time you go there. Motorsport is expensive. Get some mates together and stay in benalla. It's cheap and you can make a weekend of it.

I would go to the drift days except for the horror storys of cops waiting out the front to dik you, especially inconvenient 2.5hrs from home. You try to do the right thing by going to the track but it seems the jacks are trying to encourage you to do it illegally.

You'll find a lot of people tow their cars to these events, and *IF* something does go wrong they are usually more than happy to tow someone's car back on their trailer and drive back their car or something. Fact is i doubt if something were to happen you would be left high and dry. If you want to learn how to drift on the streets it will cost you a lot more than a tow from Winton i dare say if you get caught.

but u wouldnt hit the track 1st time without any drifting experience. it takes time to overcome fears and build up confidence. better to spin out on roads with no1 there, then to pullout of mid drift and rear end someone or have someone else hit u, where insurance is not covered.

You're suggesting he street drifts to build up confidence? That's really smart :blink: Roads have signs, poles, tree's, animals and more importantly - people. And if they can prove it - insurance isn't going to cover reckless driving.

practise makes perfect, industrials rock wide as roads so heaps of room to fudge up

or find a shipping yard tokyo drift style :stupid:

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Sydneykid · Posted

      Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary

      Replica built of first Gibson R32 chassis

      By Sydneykid · Posted

      If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
