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..

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
