took my little S13 drift car to WSID yesterday to compete in street compact.

Had a bad start, 1st launch i broke BOTH driveshafts, i couldn't believe it, tried all morning to get some spares, my mate came to the rescue at midday giving me 10 minutes to get them in and ready to race, i was the last to qaulify just squeezing in before they closed it off. ran 11.45

then i won the 1st battle beating an Audi. next run i got a Bye, then up against a white XR6 Turbo i was staged and he red lighted so i ran and ran a PB of 11.03

next run i was up against a R33 skyline, he dialed in 13.7 and i dialed 11.00. i got a great start and changed as fast as i could catching him quickly i changed to 3rd gear foot flat to the floor the gearbox made a bad vibration through the gearstick and i thought at the time the engine missfired so i short changed to 4th gear and foot flat again, i rounded the skyline up and beat him to the finish line then as i put the clutch in i heard the gearbox issue, i broke 3rd gear

i thought i was out, i got towed back to the pits, BUT then i found out i had a BYE to make it to the grand finals. i was stoked i had a talk to the officials and they told me as long as i can stage the car under its own power and move a few inches forward after the green light i would be in the grand finals, so i did that.

next up i was in the gradn final with a broken gearbox, i staged and waited for the green and then just moved forward a metre...

doing this gave me 2nd place, i won 250 bucks and i got a trophy. SOOOOOO Happy about it all.

even though im up for a $400 gearbox and $130 driveshafts it made it all worth while.

i really wish i got a chance to run in the Grand final, who knows i could have Won.

so for a little S13 silvia with Built SR20 and a GT3071r, it was running stock gearbox and stock driveshafts and diff excapt for a kaaz 2 way LSD. i think it has done very well with only 276KW

Car is for sale too guys :)

any one else have a go? i ran a white 33, im curious to know if he is on here

    • No requirement for JDM vehicles,  which the 33 is, maroney label only needed in the US market for new cars I believe (Federal law stuff) Google knows all
    • Hopefully you can just unbolt them, thank them for their service, then bin them and not replace them Apparently the sensors like to set them off with only minor impacts at low speed It looks like they do a delete kit for some of these, but, it is costly 
    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
