One of our state's (and country's!) most renowned drifters (and Skyline driver/owner!), Linden Reynolds, is in Japan with a group of Australians for the Drift Matsuri festival at Ebisu. It's 32 hours of straight drift on 7 tracks at one location - crazy!

It draws drivers from all over the world, from countries including Australia, USA, UK, New Zealand, Denmark etc etc... As a result of this, Option DVD held a competition for all the international drivers.

In an unfamiliar car (a Laurel with a fairly stock RB25 in it), on an unfamiliar track, our very own our Lindo WON the competition!!!

Yes I'm proud, I'm happy to admit it, so just thought I'd share our piece of excitement with you!!!

CONGRATULATIONS LINDO!!!

lol I was gonna ring them last night Bec to see how they went, but thought I better wait until the festivities were over and they'd recovered.

That's awesome news, massive congrats to Lindo and all the lads repping us over there.

For those who don't know, the Matsuri organisers always run an impromptu comp over the course of the weekend, and they decide what it's going to be after the event has started (try doing that at a CAMS event lol). This time around it was called the G1 (G standing for gaijin haha) and all the foreigners were invited to have a crack at winning it. I actually think Luke Fink won the last one too, so us Aussies seem to be doing pretty well over there!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
