Click on there username and it should take you to a page where you can send them a personal message (my assumption judging from other forums).

All my pics are up online now! Unsure if i posted this previously before the forums went down.

Hey guys, i was in the blue s13 with the legit L plates on it. I got a lot of videos for the day but a lot of them had either water all over the camera or shocking driving. Made up a vid of some of the good footage from the day. its here - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNPWJ7ZdW14" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNPWJ7ZdW14</a>

Tks to all the peeps that helped to sort out the day. The end of the day was the greatest. Got so many runs, look forward to the next one.

Enjoy the vid

Dude your a surprisingly good driver for a L plater. Nice drifting man, good to see you take initiative to make it to track days/skidpan events in a car you enjoy instead of doing it on the street showing off to your mates. Keep it up!

Awesome pics Kory!

Also, the PM's are not working yet, according to Christian it will take longer than 24 hours, so maybe by Tuesday

Wow - nice video. You're on your L's! Holy S!>>>>

Keep up the good work.

Yeh. Been on ma L's for just over 2 years. Everyone thinks im 12 years old :thanks:

Thanks mate, i drive like a grandma on the roads and even if i did decide to do some "mad skids in ma hectik ride yo" i barely have enough power to beat a bloody camry. Love going to track days and having fun and its really cheap compared to doing stupid stuff on the streets. Crashes arent cheap and the cops dont get happy if a young kid in a Nissan hits a tree. Plus if you do it on the track and you spin out, turn around and keep going, do that on the road = Funeral bills.

Good on ya weapon. You're a shining example of what could happen if younger drivers were taught to have some pride and interest in their driving skillz as well as as their fully sick rims. Nice skids BTW.

Only problem is that there are no tracks/Venues that can offer days like this. The government are mega strict on having a motorsport event anywhere but when its done on the road they have a rage and say go do it on a track. Kinda hard if they keep closing them down. Eastern creek is really the only track thats available to do some real racing/drifting and even then, sometimes when I have been there the people at the gate are real a**holes. Guess if you want motorsport that is non-stop awesomeness, go to jp.

can someone let me know Eric's forum name, i need to give him moneys for the gopro hire.

Hey Buddy, since PM's still aren't working you can reach me on my mobile 0419 468 835 or email ericyamashita@optusnet.com

I should be getting the last of the photos today (I hope - I've been chasing down the post man too). Then I'll duplicate them this weekend and mail out on Monday.

If anyone is coming to the Jim Richards Dinner, PM me and I'll bring your disks for hand delivery.

Post screwed up so I'll be getting the photos hand delivered and may be a little later in the week on posting them out because I have a busy week on. They will go out next week though.

In the mean time here is a little compliation video I put together (freshly dropped on youtube so quality will improve as then process and hopefully HD version available soon).

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
