This probally should go into the events section but its better suited here..

as the subject says there is a demo of drifting at the next race meet between races at some point, im not exactly sure when ill hopefully find that out next week..

the date of the race meet is November 1 and 2, the reason for it, is the WASCC are seeing what sort of interest there is in it, eg if enough people turn up to watch it, and its a noticeable crowd they'll be gang busters to try running a drift series next year, WASCC being a company work on money in short, if they see theres a possible income for it, they'll go for it, simple, so the more people there, the more likely a series will be go..

The race meet is the enduro weekend with hqs, street cars and i think sport sedans/sports cars running 30 lap races..

on a side note, anyone got either 195 50 15" tyres or 205 45 16" tyres they don't need and want to off load?, i've used my stash up and need more :)

Denver, I'm all for more support for drift in WA, but I don't see Waneroo as being a circuit which really has much to offer in the way of drift. There are virtually no corners that you could link togethero I'm not sure how you would be able to do it? Either way I'll come along to watch and see how it goes:D

the short track join is pretty good for linking, drift up through shell which is the big left hander up the hill, flick it into the hair pin for short track, link the next corner, and then back onto the hill straight..

you could try linking the esses, but your a brace man if you try, the wall thee is to close ofr my liking

Well isn't that going to suck for spectators, as all those places can't be seen? The whole purpose of drift is to make a spectacle of the car going sideways around corners, not much point if no-one can see it.

I'm not trying to knock the idea, but I just don't think it's the right track for it.

not 100% sure on who's in the demo, will let you know later in the week..

however it seems the race meet is only one day according to the time table, and the demo is on the sunday nov 2 at 12:30

by looks there should be a good mix of cars tho, few of the normal nissan typres, maybe a sprinter, and the rex all going well

i only wish i could see the reactions on peoples faces when they clue into the rex being only RWD..

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
