haha been there done that, 1 person doesnt mean anything if the rest of the drifters sit back and just accept what ever happens. the reason i post it on the forum is to promote ideas, and possibly influence people into putting similar ideas to rob.

mallala will only react to something that will be harder, or cost them $$, if it will effect them (loss of business)

I totally understand and respect why its mentioned on the forum Nisskid, I guess its just 'easier' to sit back and let whatever happen, happen.

Surely one voice with the backing of many would get through to the owners/organizers of Mallala?

yeh but getting the true backing of many is near impossible in the drift world, no one really wants to stand up and do something, would rather sit on their computers and complain on the forums unfortunately.

like i said, i have put ideas to them in the past, and i will have a chat with them on the 14th. last time i talked about the 3 group layout they said they didnt think it worked when they used it, i dont know how they came up with that conclusion.

btw i have a ridiculous amount of tyres atm, let me know if u need anything to skid on, tonnes of mismatched pairs with good tread, perfect for skids

dont wanna spam this thread with my crap.

I just went on the Mallala website to be happily surprised that they have added another DAY date for 4th Sept 10am start.

f**kYEAH!

Least they're recognizing their is an increase in demand and adding moar dates. Super keen on another session of day skids! Still heading out this Saturday too

they are stressing that tailem bend is here offering day time praccies for less, demand has been there, even moreso for a long time, but like i said, mallala wont do anything until it effects their business, like drifters being swayed away from mallala for the more appealing tailem bend.

I guess tailem bend opening is the best thing that could have happened so far for the SA drift scene, competition to drive each other to offer a better experiance. I'll have to get out to tailem bend soon for a slide

hmmm i havent paid for my stadium drift entry at tailem bend on the 28th august yet, was going to wait and see how the car

went this sat night before hand, but now im considering not going and waiting till sept 4th day prac???

hmmmm

    • 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.
