Fernando Wiehrl, driver of the AutoSalon Industrie Car in the Drift Australia Series and D1 All Star, is proud to announce the acquisition of Project D Drift School and Project D Drift Club.

"I'm very excited to take on Project D as it not only gives me the opportunity to teach drift enthusiasts the skills they need but also gives all those hopefuls the chance to learn in a professional yet relaxed and fun environment, which I'm sure not only myself but some of the other best drifters wish they had the opportunity to do when they started out."– Fernando Wiehrl, Project D Director

With a strong backing from SABER Performance Products, BBM Motorsports and Garage D, Project D has big plans of taking the Drift School and Club to a whole new and improved level. Unlike many other clubs, Project D Drift Club is all about the members. We want to help you guys out as much as we possibly can. Being a member of Project D Drift Club entitles you to automatic discounts at both SABER Performance Products and BBM Motorsports. We also offer advice with car set up and maintenance.

The Project D Team are excited to implement an improved format for the Drift Club days. These days are predominantly about helping out the 'new comers' to the motor sport. Not only do we supply open track time and set up several different track layouts which will increase in difficulty and skill level throughout the day, we also have several of our Project D Drift School instructors (Fernando Wiehrl, Chris Easton, Luke Murphy, Andrew Hawkins and Jay Abbott) who will be on hand at each club day to give you advice not only from the side of the track but they will also be available to jump in the passenger seat and give you tips on how to improve your techniques.

"Being a club member and driver for many years in the drift scene, I saw a huge gap between the more experienced drivers and the beginners at many track days I attended. I noticed that a lot of the new comers felt very intimidated by the more advanced drivers and had no real chance of improving their skills and in turn would give up as they felt they didn't really belong. I came on board with Project D because I wanted to encourage an environment where new drivers can be guided in a safe, comfortable and enjoyable situation and build their own skills at their own pace." – Fernando Wiehrl, Project D Director

At present Project D will be running one club day and one school day per month and plan to increase this to even more to supply more track time for the members.

Fernando and some of the Project D Team attended the last Project D Drift Club day, which we saw as a great success and gave us a chance to be introduced to the club and some of the current members. We look forward to meeting all of the Project D members at the upcoming track days and until then we will be keeping everyone updated on our up and coming plans.

Until then, if you have any questions about the Drift School email [email protected]

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
