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)

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
