you wont get a private drift day for 220 bucks wayne, ita a max of 10 cars

its round the 350 mark

This expensive... Hmmm... Still worth it for the amount of track time you get Vs. a prac night.

20 cars on a drift day would be perfect, 2 groups of 10, rotating and not unbelivably expensive

^ only thing I'm iffy about with a private day is stacking my car or it breaking something early in the day (both highly likely :()

Paying $130ish bucks to hit the track and only getting half a session is pretty frustrating, paying almost 3 times that and getting a half hour or so of skids would piss me right the fuck off.

If I was confident in my shitbox lasting I'd be so down for private days but rocking normal pracs is providing plenty of fun/lols for the time being.

Very valid point, thats what I was worried about at drift school. First outting in the car had no idea how it would go and going out for 30 minutes and then having to put it on the trailer would have pissed me off so much lol

No skid pan work jess.

Chad, Craig, Andrew... who is heading out for a skid aug 14? any other first timers coming out for some fun?

i would head up but im going to melb to party

sept skids get on it

tandemsss

melb sounds fun :).

Tandems in sept it is mang!

bar tabs are even better ;D

<3 engagement parties haha

yep, im gonna be out there again, so keen to test the hydro :(

ill be out in sept to test my hydro out :D

Them ones look decent Mitch but I'd feel unco with the upright hydro lol. and to make it legal you must maintain a mechanical handbrake i.e. like what I am running.

only one bolt stopping it from being horizontal :)

and ill be keeping the stock handbrake , just gotta confirm it with vehicle standards :(

those hyrdos can run vertical OR horizontal

correctomondo !

I got brand spankers. Would like a pair of 80ish %'ers just incase too.

i hate using 2nd hand tyres, the f**kers delam after 10 laps, then your in the pits changing wheels and then you loose track time etc. meanwhile the tyres are cheaper... you probably worse off in the loss of track time and the pain in the ass that the 2nd handies don't last f**k all unless you get a set that dont delam

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • 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).
