So who's going? Spectating/Competing?

They need officials btw and anyone who can lend a hand. If your able to do so just ask one of the officials/drivers on the day I'm sure they will point you in the right direction as I don't have anyones contact details for you.

Such is the pitfalls of retail BULLSHIT. :)

I'll be heading down also.

From whats on DriftWA there'll be RC drifting display as well as a bouncy castle. so BRING YOUR KIDS!!

haha funny dani... but yeh cheers :D

i dont want to go in the sand this round... cos now i have the smexy as f**k SSR SP1s on the front, and the CR Kais on the rear... dont wanna scratch them with sand lol

i was coming in too fast at some points ... so bit of understeer..

eg: hairpin once, i did c-red faster (part of gaining experience i guess), so the hairpin came sooner.

i went good in practice session (except for last lap of it -- lost the rear end in the esses and went through the infield).

qualifying, went good :D

div-B 'top16' battle ... f**ked it up epicly... never spun so much. ever !

rims are all good :)

had the best day! hopefully showed a few people that R33's can drift (even with a newbie at the wheel lol)

was stoked to win my 1st ever battle, but expression sessions where highlight of the day.

Congrats to Tarq on 2nd place outright, this is a huge achievement for anyone but to do it in a 300hp R32 is just epic! boy got skillz :D

huge thanks to Trav, Dean and Nick for supplying and fitting my new axle, you saved my ass.

and thanks Tarq and the VR family, without VR Auto my car wouldnt have been drifting.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
