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:

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
