my mate brought one a while back, stanbridges in north perth or somewhere near there, have a track and races every 2 weeks or so i think.

whole bunch of nerds turn up, i'd say they all own s15 rc drifters and hyandai exels as real cars :S

lol

me and house mate have rc drift cars :D

i got a 32 gtr shell as my bunky and 34gtr ztune shell as my show off :)

mate has a whole bunch of shells he drifts with...

he also drives a JDM s15 and i drive a gtr... and we don't goto the stanbridges things hehe.. so that kinda proves your point.. :)

we just drift out front of our houses around the round about and area :) stanbridges is too far anyway.. lol

Stanbridges hobby centre in mount lawley have drifting EVERY sunday thereabouts out the back. THey have a sweet setup out there and you'll enjoy it quite a bit.

Hit up www.westernrcdrifters.net.au for more details.

they have a rule against nitro cars (because they're loud, smelly, heavy, obnoxious and all-round f**king GAY) so if you've got an electric setup, head down and have a blast.

I've got 3 or 4 drift RC cars. Been into RC for like best part of 12 years. I can think of a few of the guys there with sweet cars. One guy has an s/c crown and a mint-as old blue HR, another guy has an my05 rex on te37s as a fun daily, one guy used to have a widebody FC which he did himself, until he sold it (to another guy into RC drift). Few with 32s and 13s etc.

They're still nerds with excels though hey.

HPI Pro-D chassis with a 5700kV Mamba brushless, only running on NiMH until I can be bothered to fork out for LiPo.

R34 GTR Z-tune shell, silver with black bonnet, black ally wing and working head/tail lights. Spektrum radio gear, fake fmic and exhaust pipe. Currently shod with the bronze rims and tyres that came with the old TT-01D WRX kit.

Good times :action-smiley-069:

Hmmm im not particularly into drift but i was ranked 15th in oz and 2nd in WA for onroad RC racing. carbon fibre x ray chassis FTW. had a couple of hack tt-01s hat i used to just drift with in the carpark of old apartment i used to live in but got pretty board after a couple of weeks which is why i got into the proper RC racing. Havent raced though for about 10months since the last state titles.

If you boys are into your rc the australian on road racing titles will be held in bunbury prob about september next year, once every 6 years we get it here and is fantastic to watch and be a part of.

As far as rc drivers driving nerdy cars.... well there was some nerds there but i used to race with one of WA's top drag racers (real cars) oh and saw ex Eagle troy Wilson every so often.

couple of good websites are

www.teamadrenaline.net (mainly off road but there is some links to drift websites)

www.rctech.net (mainly racing but you can pick up awesome prices on modified RC cars, i look at some prices that people are selling their smashed up cars on here for and just laugh)

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
