i would like 2 see more drift and Circuit;

In perth i don't really think there is anywhere 2 do the both on a weekly base. During the drag season evey wed night is open for street cars which i think is a really good idea, maybe we could get somelike that going for drift and circuit.

But then again i don't think any of that could not happen withone someone wanting to spouncers that type of stuff but i could be wrong

I was under the impression that there is a regular drift day at Qld raceway and isn't there at least one drift club in Bris? MRE where are you??.

I think the success of Power Cruise indicated one direction we'll be heading.

Drag Combat is back ....bigger and better.

The new AAA organisation will be making track days more frequent and more accessable eg at Qld this year...10 x Level 1 days and 10 x Level 2 days.

Apart from the distance involved nothing could be easier than getting on the track at Morgan Park.

In the more traditional scene there is a choice of Hillclimbs, Gymkanas, rallies, Khanocross,lap dashes etc every weekend.

BOOSTMEISTER ommitted one choice from his Poll...ie...All of the above. That would have been my choice

Please let it be circuit!!! The whole cruising up busy streets/drifting/neon lights blah blah is a load of BS. If ya got a wicked car and ya think ya got skills, take it to the track. There is no better place to test an all round car and all round driver. Any lame ass beatch can flick the ass out, power slide through a corner and chew up tyres.

/rant off

Just my opinion so dont flame me for havin it ;P

The australian car scene needs some better direction and less wanky ricer mobiles out there being driven by people who think that because they have big rims and a stereo, that their car is a performance car, sports car, or luxury car. wrong. its just a big rice mobile. And to 3/4 of the luxury car owners, who drive their riced up cars like its a sports car - get a grip - you bought a luxury car, stop driving to be a boy racer.

here is a link to a site that is going to help shape the NEW aussie car scene!

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
