Good to see an event like this. We need more Drifting in NSW and especially Sydney!

And good to see that Corey (Juiced Photography) will be covering it for photos, great 'tog! And Great name :blush:

Thanks mate.. we've had interest from fast fours as well.. due to the fact yes.. there is little to no drifting events or drifting practice days in sydney what so ever! so we're trying to establish something mid week once a month or twice a month depending on track times and bookings.. for now its once a month..

The issues we faced were ..we could only book tracks on limited days due to other sessions.. i.e. bikes/cars practicing mid week .. if drift cars are on, they dont wanna put anything else on the main track due to tyre smoke etc

The drift scene has taken abit of a nose dive with lack of competitions- lack of organisers with the right vision etc.. this will hopefully be the start of something big !

Cams licence is needed however if you dont have one.. we can organise it on the day f

i dont see why it wont.. you will have amateurs to pro's hopefully there on the day getting track time.. so the idea would be to maybe learn from some of the more experience guys.. watch and get some tips etc and then try it yourself

you can organise cams?

how much, and would this be a one day licence, of longer?

very interested.

whats the maximum number of cars that can attend?

dont really want over crowding :D

dont really want over crowding :banana:

$50 year licence, day licence is to be still confirmed. once i have that detail i'll let you guys know straight away..

maximum attendees will be capped 20-25.. we'd like people to get more track time and not be waiting so much etc

Not impatient.. and i dont think ill even get a chance to drift myself.. to busy taking photos of other people having fun? hahaha

we have eastern creek deposit day looming .. quicker people secure their spot the better

Just a further note.. We have also secured support by Castrol & Motive DVD

BAD NEWS - Eastern Creek Raceway have canceled this event because of noise complaints made by Subaru after a previous drifting event during the week. They hold training sessions and need a quiet environment to teach their students in. They are currently working on coming up with an alternate date for me which will hopefully be a weekend... making it a lot easier for those of you who can't get work off during the week. Refunds are available but we will hopefully have an alternate date by the end of next week.

Please email [email protected] regarding any questions!

I find this very poor on eastern creeks behalf considering we booked 4 months in advance and cancelled on a couple of weeks out! :D

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
