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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
