drifting is expensive hobby. dont try n drift if u dont want to pay any repair bills. practice low speeds to get feeling of car before u try anything stupid like 90km scando entries, save that for the track.

but then stock skyline is pretty dangerous to try to drift in. isnt the most predictable car especially with the old worn out diff.

yep, listen to tets(drifts r33's), r33's are heavy... they have alot of body roll!..

PS ey tets me ender n all da boys went out tonight for a lil session it was pretty good! hehehhe. l8erss

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.

People just need to grow some sack and get out there, as I've found being on a track is far less daunting once you make the big step. I've found (with circuit days anyway) that most people involved in motorsport are always willing to help and are friendly to the newbies.

shoulda called me, we ended up in the east last night was kinda failed tho, everyone getting ready for winton tomorrow.

Firstly, I'd like to point out that Vic Drift and SAU do not condone street drifting at all so please keep talk of it out of the forum.

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.

Drifting is expensive. I strongly suggest if you are worried about breaking your car, either tow it up or take the risk and drive.

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.

In the past, a minority of idiot drifters have been known to do really stupid things in moving cars on the freeway, outside of Winton and in surrounding towns. The cops dont hassle drifters as much anymore but you will see them cruise around the pits and just sit and watch cars enter and leave to make sure no one is being stupid.

If you drive sensibly and your car doesn't look like a pig, then chances are they'll leave you alone.

Winton is the only track in Victoria that holds drifting. There are no other options. Take it or leave it.

If anyone is still serious about learning to drift legally, then please email me or check out the Vic Drift forums :blink:

They used to hold drift sessions at Calder PArk, have these stopped permanently?

Drifting was cancelled at calder a good six months ago.

    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 😋 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
    • This. They would need some tricky maneouvering to keep the income out of the country (the US). Which isn't helpful if that's where you want the income to end up.
