Hey Guys,

Im going drifting at Eastern Creek on the wet Skid Pan (Twilight Drift) later this month. Just wanted to know any tips as such for a first timer. The car that I will be going sideways in is either a R32 RB25DET or a R32 RB25DE. It'll most probably be the boosted 32.

As being on a wet surface, I dont think I will be touching the handbrake too often. From what Im guessing, I'll just be abit aggressive with the steering?

Another thing is stalling the car... :)

Thanks!

Sorry, Im pretty eager to get it right and not make a fool of myself.

i dont have heaps of drifting experience but from the little i have, in the wet your front wheels have less traction too! smooth and steady is the key imho.

The last thing you wanna do is wrench your steering around & lose traction to the front. try a quick touch of handbrake to get you sliding, then low power to keep the drift going. shouldnt need much if your using a boosted 32.

Be smooth, use Scandy flicks if understeer is a problem, Skidpans are surprising great ways to learn-doesnt make you 10ft tall & bulletproof tho- remember wet handling slides are very different to dry but it does help more than you will know at the time.

Stay away from Handbrake as much as possible but practice it for entries none the less or even to extend the slide-which you will learn to do with the throttle-eventually-work on weight shift.

Dont pump throttle unless trying to upset balance of car.

Best way to learn how to skid steer at skidpans

Most of all have fun & obey the rules of the arena

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
