It was an excellent event - big ups to Thien (sorry is spelling isnt right). Some nice cars, and some good talent.

IMO it did a huge amount for imports and drift in SA. The announcers were loving it, the officials were loving it. They kept on going on about how anybody who has ever owned a car know the joy of putting it sideways - and no one said otherwise.

It was also pointed out to the president of the Sporting Car Club of SA that Drift is the future of motorsport in australia! He was really wrapped with the turnout, as they probably have trouble finding people who get into Car clubs like theirs. Anyways the writing is on the wall and I hope they took notice.

Found out something else that is quite interesting, Mallala is open most days and you just have to show up and pay a fee to take the car on the track. Now that they have hosted a comp there, they may be more likely to let lads go and thrash their cars and get a bit of sideways action, as I have heard in the past they frowned on it. Might have to do some investigating on that one. Anyone who has any details please let me know, cheers.

I reckon if the guy in the VB had a properly set up drift car, he could well have gone to the last - he could punt that thing hard, really high entry and corner speeds - it was nuts.

Can only agree with slyr33, James was the best out there, consistant, linked every corner and his car just looked so damn good on the track - sort of makes me want to buy a silvia:)

4doorsleeper, I wouldnt have gone out for the girl alone, no matter what she looked like. She wasnt too bad, and a nice girl to talk to as well. The driving was definately worth going out for, excellent venue for it, they just need to stick a corner coming off turn 2 to the back straight so they can come across and link it with 4 - maybe throw in another couple of bends on the way:p Anybody who didnt go, missed out.

Steve i think you will find that mallala is open most weekends for practice where you can go out and thrash around for a small fee but not everyday. you can hire the track out and do what you wont but the cost is a little over the top

I was there talking to george and theo bout it. From wat i understand, u can book it for the day on a weekend. They have been doing that occasionally. There planning on taking there next car there when its ready and im going out there wit them to give my car a thrash.

I will c George and Theo bout it on tuesday and will c wat we have to do to hire it out, possibly make a SAU day there. :(

Couldnt of been better said chris, i look at other sa forums and all hey brag about it there sik drifting the previous night at various sa locations. Then ill look a few hours later and see, f**kin cops, i got defected etc....  

Its a waay to often senario which seems the real enthusiasts such as some of us get burnt while the others keep ruinin it for us all.

I find this pretty rich from a guy who I have seen drive twice - once crashing in to a car while arriving at a dyno day (and didn't even offer to pay for the damage), and the other doing a big burnout on departure from the same dyno day, while residents were already out the front of their houses.

It seems to me you fit that very category you complain about, and quite well.

Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.

Chops, i dont even know who u are, and Im sure u dont know a thing about me. Take some of ur own advice as im sure uve done somethin illegal once in a while.

In regards to Mattrs car, I did not Crash into him, i tapped his bumper. I apologised when it happened, and at the time there seemed to be no damage. A while after i found out that there was some and he had to get repaired. I had no idea at all about this and I apoligised again to him.

Dont attack me, u dont know a thing about me, otherwise bring it to pm.

now now be nice everyone :)

pretty true about the other forums, as my road I live on in particular has a few bends that are favuorites with a few drifters up my way

I wouldn't care what they did really, just when my neighbours think its me I tend to get a little annoyed

Commodore owners are the worst by far though, seems they can't do enough one wheeled burnouts at the top of my driveway. As I have pointed out to my mum and dad (as they thought it was me) Skylines leave two tyre marks not one :D

Chris

umm Dean - broke traction hey? .... *coff coff* there are around 20 witnesses now calling you a straight out liar mate .... you don't 'break traction' for about 20 metres then have neighbours come over and complain about it

.... and I think the rear bar respray for Matt's car was about $250 .... what is your reaction to that? He paid for it out of his own pocket.

And apart from when Chops saw you antics at dyno day .... he (like the rest of us) have had to put up with your post-whoring of normally absolutely useless posts for some time now and it is getting old .... this is all he has to base his impressions of you on, so I'd say he's not far off the mark :P

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
