Can't drift in an auto? EH? all you need is corner/boost to get the rear spinning, drop it back, bounce it off the rev limiter and keep it there :) I can't wait to go out to the track to try some dorifto, just remember, all the people who think autos can't drive, will be even more surprised when anyone out there shows them :)

Yes you can drift in an auto, one of the initial drift members owns a jzx90 chaser and it is an auto he has the advantage of an 2-way cusco diff but still manages to show up a lot of people with long controled slides into and on the exit of corners and switch backs.

Guys... I have to bust some major rules of Drift..

Firstly Generaly you can't drift an auto... Yes you can and sometimes even better than Manuals due to Long Gearing and no need to change out of gear and have that split second pause of wheels spin which can cause major drift problems...

Secondly most people don't drift heavy cars with long wheel bases because they have no Handling and heaps of Body Roll... True it's harder, but just takes more skill....

Thirdly, Don't drift a holden or a Ford... I agree a bit.. but hey...

No a Standard VS auto won't drift, It will single wheel spin.. lots.. into something hard...

Locked diff might help, But it's your mums car.. you'll surely break something when learning...

When I said I busted some rules.. I did... I drift a 1977 ZH fairlane 500 .. nearly 2 tonnes of car... Its big, heavy, Auto a Ford.. But has a 351 and an LSD and some how I seem to be able to hold a drift.. usually in the rain..

and the 3000 rpm Stall converter helps...

You may think I am insane ... But no one else has done it... and I challenge any one else to try hehe...

I'll post some pics of a drifting Pimp machine when I can

I like all these wankers who can't think you can drift this that and the other, only makes them more surprised when they see you drifting it :D

I think you'll find what a lot of people call drifting in a falcon or VS is just plain powersliding that any half arse can do. drifiting is an art and anyone who can master drifting can drift anything FWD open, anything you just gotta know how and find a track to do it on.

POWER SLIDING no

DRIFTING yes :thumbs up:

ok, thanks, and another thing, when i pull the handbreak when im driving along, say at 25kmph, this wierd beeping sound starts, ( like a computer beeping sound ) ... whats the deal with that... I assume its just a warning beep to tell you the handbreak is on and your traveling too fast to use it, but just askin you boys to make sure.

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.

      When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
