no offence meant.

family & trusted friends are all above board, just like in this instance. Heslo obviously trusts Chef and as friends Im sure they'll work out an arrangement.

feel real down for you both

Yeah not my finest hour, but Luke has been brilliant about it and he knows I'm gonna be forking out the coin to sort it all out. We're in "if you don't laugh you'll cry" mode at the moment.

I came around the sweeper in the wet, squeezed back on the throttle and it just snapped on me, someone later suggested there may have been oil there where the drifters park to start their runs, so I'm using that as my excuse! Anyhoo, it snapped hard left, and once it hit the wet grass I was just a passenger until I tagged the wall.

And technically neither of us registered a time, so the original challenge still stands :P

I thought someone may have been tracking their wheely bin and got loose infront u so u had to evasive action

A better option would be genuine high level scrutineering for the cars

I had a so called drift car on the dyno last year - and when I turned the fan on the bonnet (cheap cracked fibreglass imitation carbon thing) actually blew off across the room. It was taped together and then went out and raced at the track like that 2 days later.

I am old enough to remember when drift cars had front and rear bars on them and cable ties were for tying cables not holding the car together :)

Doesnt one of the multitude of SA drift series run out at Tailem Bend now?

Anyway that sucks Heslo, have always really liked your car

i agree scrutineering on engines needs to be tighter,

and stadium drift does happen at tailem bend, which is hardly what id call a good track.

dont put every diftt car in the same basket.

Dont get me wrong there are or have been some good drift cars that I have worked with or enjoyed over the years and there are obviously many more I would not know about. CTS, Pickerings, Cootes lad, Boliger and one or two others are notable properly engineered cars or are close to it.

Too many absolute boxes of turd 'hangin sliggidy an sik skidz n shit' going on though in 2011. I have refused to dyno these kinds of cars on safety grounds before and continue to do so. Bald tyres, breather hoses vented onto exhaust manifolds, oil pouring out of sumps etc. and so on. I will not damage my $170,000 dyno on a sloppily and lazily put together heap of junk worth $5

Needs a good scrutineering clean out and drift could come good again

Regardless we may as well talk about Drift not much more information is forthcoming in this thread :domokun:

Dude,

That is a huge call. Are you saying that you would never help out mate or family member with your car if they were in deperate need?

These things are just material possessions mate, you cant take them with you when you go 6 foot under :ermm:

I have wanted a 32 GTR since i was 7 years old and now that i have one, i let others experience what a fine piece of machinery and history it is so they too can enjoy it!!

Other people dont have to feel the same way you do about the car, thats thier decision. Its not about respecting the car, its about respecting the owner...:cool:

Any hoo, that sucks Luke!! New N1 your way with Chef driving in a skirt... photos on SAUSA please :D

Cheers, :cheers:

Matty

Huh, I don't see this has anything to do with Kristian driving Luke's car..........how was Kristian in any desperate need......sorry but invalid arguement bud.

Feel miserable for Luke & Kristian but I'm with Tangles on this one............haven't we learned from the Krishy vs Abe deal??

Hope the damage isn't too bad fellas

I appreciate that you guys want to hypothesize on whether or not you should lend cars to mates, Luke knows me well enough to know that I will pay for the repairs, I doubt he wouldn't have let me out there in the first place if he didn't think that was the case.

Early reports suggest I'm up for a fair bit of money in parts, so my JZX110 is now for sale to help cover it - let me know if any of you feel like defecting to a Toyota...

I am sorry Pete...but how was it Krishy vs Abe? It should be the "Krishy and Abe", as we were not versing each other.

no way Id say I told you so, but fact is you just cant trust anyone else with your possessions......

no offence meant to Chef or Heslo.

just the way I see life. Your possession = your responsibility, + fact others wont feel for it the same way you do.

Pete,

Quite clearly that says to me that Tangles wouldn't give his car out to anyone at all. regardless of the circumstance. Not relating it to this afternoons events, just in general!!:rolleyes:

Obviously, as he says in the previous post, family and and mates in desperation are a different circumstance and this is what i was trying to clear up.

Good luck with the repair fellas.

Cheers :cheers:

No hypothesy here Kristian, my stance is very clear.......NEVER EVER lend cars to mates (no matter how well you know them).

I appreciate that you're a good guy Kristian, hence having to sell a car to pay for Luke's, it's just a real shame that it's come to this. :(

This is a forum after all which will invite comments of every description, but like I said earlier, I feel miserable for both of you..........nothing personal there champ :/

Guys guys guys, come on now and show a bit of respect please. It's a shit situation, it happened and what happens is between Kristian and I, no one else....

That being said, Kristian is a great bloke, true to his word and I have not one hard feeling against him; it was an accident, he didn't mean for this to happen, it could have just as easily been me and more importantly, HE IS OK! That is my number one concern, not the car, him

Also, cheers to everyone out there today helping, to all those sending messages and to Matty T for the tow and as Martin said, it's only a car, it can be fixed and it's true, this is an example of how great the community can be; not all this shit that goes on with Windies, etc.

Well said mate, Kristian's safety is more important than any damage to the car.

and at the end of the day Luke is a big boy and can make his own decisions in regards to his car and property and if / who he lets to drive it. Just because you have an opinion on how you manage your property it doesn't mean that it applies to everyone.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
