I know asking this is like trying to catch a turd one handed in a pool but here goes . . .

I have a drift car and my mate is about to start using it up barbs , thing is he has never drifted before .

So im looking for a bit of tarmac anywhere thats on private land (ie not the street) to show him some basics .

If anyone has a trucking yard or something somewhere that we could use a few times it would be greatly appreciated .

I am 34 years old , a sensible adult (to some level) have a safe road registered drift car and most importantly , i know how to show respect to other people and there property so i wont be leaving any tyres/fires/explosives etc behind . Ill be handing over my phone no lic details etc to anyone that may be able to help out .

pm may be the go as im not interested in having 4 cars turn up at your property .

At the drift practice, if it is your first time to the track they send you out the back of the long straight were they have sent up cones to do some circle work and teach you the basics (there are 4+ trainers, which are just fellow drifters)

yeah im fully aware of this but you can only run certain dates /at night and im a driving instructor with a car . All i need is somewhere to use it and i can get a lot more training time in for my mate at a much more relaxed pace .

You're a driving instructor with a car?

Asking this question, of all questions, on a forum?

..........

Bring on the flaming.

BTW Barbagallo was a shit suggestion.

Doubt these guys want to pay for membership + cams license + everything to pass scrutineering, just to do some skids.

nic a31 i dont think you read the post properly .

you might want to re read it or maybee i should have put more info in it but i didnt want to be longwinded like i usually am .

The idea i was trying to get across is that if there is someone out there that wouldnt mind letting us use some space that they have that would be very nice and we would treat them respectfully .

I cannot see why using a forum to put out a request is a bad idea , espescially when i reccomended people that are genuinely able to help should pm rather than post .

Im just trying to do my best to do some responsible and safe driving AND be accountable for my actions while doing so .

If you want to promote street drift then i suggest you continue to shit on everyone who tries to avoid it .

PS: As an additional note we both already pay cams lic wascc membership and attend barbagallo drift sessions .

I'm sure he knew what you meant, winds himself up pretty tight on here. Nic, chiiillllllll bbrrrooooooooo!

For individuals, Sam (slydr) has a place with an area like what you need but from what I remember there is buses & all sorts of things being stored there but it's probably the same situation. But there is no harm in asking because some people could have a big, open area at their work... But if not, the Barbagallo nights might just have to do! They did also have drift lesson sessions at the AHG driver training centre, but since RAC took over I doubt they still happen

Thanks for the feedback ossie

Its pretty cool to hear that AHG used to have drift training . I thought they were quite anti drift . (been there heaps in various cars , you can get away with a bit)

As a point of interest ive been to the RAC centre for a tuning arvo after there change of ownership and its still pretty good value if anyone was wondering .

The first barbagallo tuning day for now is our first place to unleash some tyre tread .

Its a good way to start drift at barbs by doing some track farmiliarity during the day all day for 60 bucks . If its quiet well be able to get some good drift in .

AHG never had drift training... they use to allow abit of drifting till people took it too far and now they have come down hard on it.

be warn you will need to double check if you are allowed to drift at tuning days, barbagallo is pretty tight on when you can do drifting

I recall an article where a guy in bullsbrook was meant to be setting up a skid pan for this kinda thing?

Steve the guy in the article doesnt actually own the land so he can't really do much

The owner of that block lives in Albany

Also the locals spit the dummy not wanting the hoon element in their suburb

Yes they did have drift training, using both skidpans. The drifting they have come down on that you're referring to is during the actual driver training days..

When did I promote street drift?

No news recently about the Bullsbrook one, but if they ever did build that, 24 hours a day 7 days a week it'd be full of 17 year old bogan white trash and their Falcons/Commodores...great place for all sorts of shit to break out.

There are a couple of people in Perth that have their own private slabs...only one I know of off the top of my head is Slydr (Sam), DriftWA/Antilag.

i think i got lucky last time i was up there midweek . it was so quiet and relaxed no one really minded . i got to drift past a couple of guys after chatting with em to make sure they were cool with a bit of drift .

from memory it went something like . drift mor ? dude seriously more now .

just kept the speed up and the angle down .

Yer council never approved the skid pan in bullsbrook.

There are a few notorious truck stops around the perth area that people love to go to and do a skid.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
