Those crazy japs and their drifting in others machines!!

Excellent day to be out.  The privateers generally sucked except for a few like the shoddy looking 180, Catherine's VK (you try drifing a boat), the Porker, and a couple other Silvias.

The Aussie entries weren't too bad.  

The D1 drivers.....Well, their in a class of their own, NUTZ!!!!  I don't understand why you would want to drift a corner at 100km/h+ while waving the car door open...  MAAAAAD!!!

Too bad about the kiss b/w the Benny's BMT180 and the HPI CA18 but as long as Fulllock keep their word, the fixing will be free.  Dunno bout 140 degree water temps though...Maybe someone should have told the D1 gut to turn the A/C off :D

I've captured all my footage and it's a 4.6gig avi file so I'm gonna put it all on a DVD for myself.  The D1 dancer was pretty cool too!!  I got him strutting his stuff and stlyin to Ms Christina!!

I hope u burn me a copy to man.

ive got the perfect view of that as i was filming right down the front on the right in front of that corner.... if i was on broadband i would post it up.

i reckon those guys in the truenos were pretty good... minus one of them.

i got a pic of me and horus with i think his name is Kenji? or something... the crazy one with no front teeth dancing with the girls at the end :D i also got them all to sign my HPI mag

thats one cool thing about them they were pretty easy going... the dancing one gave me, my cousin and horus one of his japanese cigarettes :)

Wish I could have been there:(

The s14 with s15 front (if it was red with black roof) was James Vahoumis' car from D1 Garage in SA. He also brought Bai (Signal's D1 driver) over for the event - they did a photo shoot over here for speed, and I got thrown around in the passenger seat of the 180 (same colours as the S14) by him (bai) was about the most fun you can have with your clothes on - its bizaare, he was so bloody relaxed and casual when driving.

Hopefully I will be able to make the next one - big ups for all that organised it all.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
