My 1st Time @ Winton Drift Experience


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, So it was my first time at winton drifting! It was so good! I also entered the track and it was unbelivable! it was the bestest experience ever. My car was running at 233kws and thrashing it the temp was at 81c with a alloy radiator! . For drifting i had a 2way diff , coilovers and a rear adjustable sway bar! but the bad thing was HICAS was activated... i hope it didnt make a diffrence.. I also spun out a couple of times onto the grass! . I went through 1 pair of tyres and also used not much petrol? . The morning was also cold but then in the afternoon it got pretty hot. I also saw 2 SAU members RED r33 drifting he was going off tap going nuts.. and i saw a White R33 with a Camera on top.(had a SAU sticker) . Anyways who else went?

Yeah mate, white R33 was me. I had a great day. Looking forward to the next oppertunity I can get out there. Only way to get better is just keep on getting as much track time as you can.

Hey guys thanks heaps for the comments!, Yeh i have experience lol, street experience, i can connect the far far away big S-bends......... but the thing is HICAS is stufffing me up! WARLORD you should come down its really good! guys should come down!

car looks nice mate, how was it first time drifting? you had any previous experiance? im really keen on going onto the track for drifting but i have NO experiance drifting.

You need to man up Bas and give it a go! I'll drive your car up there for ya!

Good stuff geraus. Looks like a good turn out up there.

Did you improve Brendan? How did ya go?

We're hoping to make the november or december one in the new car.

im gonna hold you to that russ, you can just swing past mine, and then we will cruise it there (with you driving mine obviously)

when is the next meet?

if its november/december, then my high mount setup and 2 way diff will be in 100%, if not then just the 2 way will be in lol.

thanks russ :banana::D:D:D:D

hey geraus

tets' lover hahaha

good to see you learnt from my teaching of drifting.... if it wasnt for me you wouldnt have known how to link the S bend with a slight tap of the brakes for transition lol

good to hear u had fun man

p.s. u know me from west meet (tets' mate)

The december one is probably more realistic with the sil so that would be a good time I reckon.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
