Hey Guys and Girls,

Have you every wanted to see what it feels, sounds, and smells like to sit in a Drift Australia car at full noise on Eastern Creek's Drift Australia Circuit?

Have you every thought how much fun would it be in a fully prepared drift car, flat in 4th gear, and kick the clutch as you enter one of the fastest corners on the track?

Have you wondered what it would be like to only be able to see the ripple strip and grass on the inside of the corner as you do this?

Well if you have then read on! :blink:

The Sureflo Drift Team in conjunction with Driving Sports have come up with a taster ride to get you out on the track in their Drift Z, and I'll be steering to make sure you are truly scared :P

The Drift Z.

Fully Built and stripped drift car. (Originally 300zx)

5.7L built V8 with a single turbo setup.

Tremec 6 speed gear box

Widened track, custom panels and body kit.

Full V8 Supercar spec rollcage.

Noise- Custom Sureflo Exhaust with no mufflers, anywhere.

Wheels, big wide 10inch front and rear = SMOKEY!

Fun - Hell yes!

The Ride.

2 full laps of turns 4 through 12 in the Drift Z.

Signed poster and picture with me (The Picture is optional, or it can just be you and the car if you like) at the end of the night.

Cost: $250 or bring a group of 5 and we'll knock another $50 off EACH! ($200pp)

Or

Sponsor the car, or get your company to sponsor the car, with $1000 or more and we'll take you out for free*, and put your company's stickers on the car as well as send you photo's for promotional use for a whole year!

Larger Sponsorship packages are available and are tailored to your needs.

Kidz, we normally charge $800 for 2 laps of only the Drift Australia circuit (turns 10-12), so grab 4 mates, $200 each and come down for a blast!

This cost also includes entry to the whole event which includes 3 drift arena's (Peanut track dry and wet skid pan also), burn out comp, small car show and DJ. It is lots of fun and a good night out.

When.

We are next going out on Friday 25th of June, we'll be on track from 6pm to 10pm, so there is plenty of time to get lots runs in. These events run really smoothly and we have loved going to the 2 we have attended so far. Full Event Details HERE

PM me to book your spot and get excited!

Stay Sidewayz Kidz,

Dan.

hahaha +1 for $250 they are gonna give you a chance to ruin the clutch and put it into the wall, I think not.

ohhh that would of been good value for money!!!!

but yes good point.

Just to avoid further confusion :)

Still a good deal even if you don't get to drive! :P

I've been lucky enough to sit in the passenger seat with this lunatic on numerous occasions and it was a barrel of laughs.

To look out the passenger window back up the straight while the car is sideways,,,screaming it's head off with smoke billowing out the rear is bloody fantastic.

I highly recommend getting your bum in the seat,,,you won't be dissappointed.

Cheers

Neil.

You crazy old man. I've had him sit in my passenger seat and also been in his, but back in the pretty much standard days.

This would definately be an experience.

Cheers Neil, You will have to come out for a look see again one day, I believe you even get free entry, and if you're real nice I might even let you come in our pits for free too! hehe :D

Ahhh the good old day's... gee I miss them, but the good new days are fun also... :(

Hey guys and girls,

I have managed to spend too much time at work and working on my own car, as a result I have had a chest infection turn into pleurisy and if I'm not careful I can develop pneumonia, so as a result we have scratched this event from our calendar and will be moving all rides to the event on the 23rd of July.

All details will be the same except for the date. Still friday night etc.

I'll update the post when we have more details.

Stay sidewayz kidz,

Dan.

.. but in all seriousness pleurisy and pneumonia are right up there with leprosy on my "things to avoid" list. Hope you get better soon, Dan! Then more sideways :) (oh yeah and spend less time at work.. not less under the car :laugh:)

Thanks mate.

We are planning to make the next event on the 23rd of July, which again is a friday in about 3 weeks time. Same deal except I'm planning not to be sick this time :) (I have administered 3 large glasses of Uncle Chop Chop's recipy :D)

So let me know if you or anyone you know is keen.

Also, Kinks, we need some quality shots taken and I'm hoping you might be able to help us out. If you still have my number then give me a call, if not pm me yours and I'll call you.

Cheers,

Dan.

  • 3 weeks later...

We're going sliding on Friday... and I can't wait, these day's are always fantastic and great for you lot to watch also, I think entry for spectators is now $20, and one lucky person will win a ride in a drift car!

So head on down, open pits, 3 drift tracks and much much more!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
