oh, sorry sir.

1, there was no one behind me, im not that stupid,

and 2, there would have been less smoke coming from me doing 1.5 spins over someone

from group one linking the whole strait.

so, if you dont mind stfu

ps, cant believe you joined just to say that.

i saw you do a burnout, yes there might not have been cars right behind you but a bunch of cars had to stop because of the smoke screen you left, there was almost no wind to blow it off the track

yes group 1 drifters would make alot of smoke but its not all in 1 spot so it wasnt a issue, not like when someone does donuts

btw "Joined: 18th February, 2010" i didnt just join to post that, its just the 1st time ive felt like posting

Its a prac session mate,

Relax. :blink:

yes and people want to practice, they dont want to be held up by idoits who think its a burnout composition

Nick,

is your car actually built in 86 or is it like most that are actually 84 models ?

86 in AE86 doesnt refer to the year it was built

i think 99.99999 percent of people in the crowd love the skids, the beg for it.

and if the drivers where in the crowd, they'd love it too!

seeing as you seen my skid, did it atleast look good for the price i gotta pay? :blink:

but i see where your comin from, multiple donuts in a row are silly, but spinning the long way round

to get going in the right direction, thats different.

?

the engine was sitting on limiter for 2 donuts before i realised oil pressure was 0... after that is was

game over....

But seriously Craig even though it is 'just a prac' it's pretty annoying. You don't get too many laps (especially in group 1) on a prac night and it shits you every time you have to bail on a corner cause some dude is smoking it up trying to get going again.

Having said that, I'm fking pumped to get my shitheap out on june 19th, will be first time out there in 7 months.

I do the same, I try and keep the car rolling and head straight to the side of the track. I hate it when people spin and just cut straight back on to the track infront of you making you end your slide. I hit turn 1 flat out the other night only to have to lock it up cos all that i could see in front of me was a wall of white smoke.

As a first-timer to watching the drift-practice, I was a bit stunned about some of the behavior of a number of the cars doing donuts straight after spinning out - I saw at least two occasions where it ended in near accident, and too many more where it held up the entire track because of the huge white cloud obscuring visibility.

As someone merely observing, I'm unaware of whether marshalls bother reprimanding people doing that (or other silly behavior) but I sure hope so.

It's a track for crying out loud!!!

Edit: Allow me to explain, I understand what everyone is saying: jrm, DSTROY, driftnick13, and I agree to an extent. But the reason people build drift cars is so they can go nuts in a "safe" environment. I do however agree with some comments here.

While i was sitting in my car on the other side of the track i seen some dipshit slow down in front of the crowd and start to do ringies on the straight. Marshalls got in their car and went after him, doubt they would of done much though.

Do 100+ KM/H around a corner sidways to find a wall of white smoke so thick that you cant see through it and see how safe you feel.

Okay, I agree. Maybe a little powerskid would be more appropriate than dutching out the track with ringies.

i seem to think you were the only one doing 1 3/4's of a donut everytime you hit turn one... if you like static skids enter a burnout comp.. theres money on offer at murray bridge speedway.. there the kind of ppl who love it you dooney...

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
