Hi everybody,

I was at Oran Park yesterday for the latest GTP (or whatever it's now called) round. As well as the usual feast, there was a drift demo - and it was wayyy cool. S14's, s15's, 180's, Hachi's, an MX-5 and even a Monaro; they all put on a great show. Very popular with the kids. The trackside commentator was very well informed on the sport as well, dropping words like hachi roku, linking & giving an accurate assessment on the history of the sport & D1. He also mentioned that D1 competitors will be making an appearance at Oran Park later this year !

Does anyone have more info on this ?

Thanks.

Hi Matt,

Thankyou & your crew for putting on such a great show. I love the GTP series as it's so relevant to the cars we drive - even more so with drift. I was at the dogleg & believe me you guys had everyone on their feet (more so than Nations cup/F3/V8Brutes) "Dad, are the drifters up next ???" the kids around me were repeating all afternoon. I have committed myself to getting a CAMS licence this year so... I better get myself some stiff coilovers & raid my local tyre joint's scrap pile. I think drift will put that silly grin back on my face that I've been missing for too long !

I was out there in the purple 180SX.

...I was at the dogleg & believe me you guys had everyone on their feet...

The dogleg was the craziest corner I reckon, since you can't see what the heck is over the hill, and a lot of us spun out coming down the other side.

"Dad, are the drifters up next ???" the kids around me were repeating all afternoon.

The one time I actually had a chance to look at the crowd, I saw a bunch of kids almost hanging over the fence, hooting and pumping their fists. Heehee.

I have been speeking with Yokohama about drifting recently as they got my name from my tyre supplier and gave me a call. They want to get involved in drift and wanted to know more about it. I believe that they are looking to bring at least the Drift King and his car out from Japan towards the end of the year... keep your eyes peeled on here and on initial drift site as once I know more hopefully the two clubs will be able to put on a huge day for this major drifting event... I'm excited!

Really? Did I mention how much I just LOVE Yokohama tyres?

Did I also mention that I won 2 of the 3 CAMS-sanctioned drift competitions in NSW so far? .....and how much I just LUUUURRRVE Yokohama tyres? :mad::rofl:

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
