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.

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.

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:

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
