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:

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
