Yeah, not bad at all

There were a couple of expreienced drifters there, in particular a black 180 (I think) who put on a pretty good show (arm out window mid-drift etc), but a lot of them were just losing it left right and centre (not saying I could have done better...). But I suppose that is the place to hone your skills :)

A good day all up

Evo83: they're every month or there abouts so there will be others, although less over winter.

Nice shots there warwick :) I'm off to look at the rest, even if extremely painful on dialup.

The last one I went to, and was good fun to watch. Really want to get out there myself, but personally I think it would put a little too much pressure / risk on my car to want to do that.

Now if i had a cheaper car....maybe if i ever turbo the 31 some fun could be had :)

All I need is a VL turbo manifold, old T3, VLT ECU, dial in some relatively low boost and away I go... this doesn't have LSD either.. (yet :)).. anyhow, must not think of modifying the daily driver, must not think of modifying the daily driver! :)

Sure did, n/a's can be made to drift quite nicely. When i went to a skidpan day basically the instructor said "if its RWD, got a handbrake, and at least some go it can be drifted."

Chaos, 04FAT i think is owned by one of the guys that used to be from Drift Kings, but Drift kings died in the ass and is now called Aspley drift and drag...

I had so much fun yesterday, i cant wait for the next drift meet.

I think i did ok for my 2nd meet though! i will upload videos at a later date.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
