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)

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
