Ahh I see. Nothing against Vicdrift, im sure theyre a great club to be hosting events. My concern is the point I just saw on their page about the requirement for rollcages in 2013. I have a street car and I cant just throw a cage in, i need the seats and space. Which leaves me in a bit of a situation as it seems like the choice is drift and make my car unusable on the road. or no drift. And I wanna drift again.

Only group A,B and C mate.

If you're in those groups you expect there is a chance the car will come back a meatball, thus the cage regs.

Grooup D is fine, no cage required, just no tandems.

I did see something about Group D on their web page, but, atleast for the matsuri, it appared to be a noob class where as I am fairly experienced. Is this the case? I have no interest in tandems, just wanna go out and have my fun (without having to slowly pass spun cars on every corner).

Group E is the noob class. D allows for your kind of car.

Excellent. This is good news. I havent put a cage in so far as i like my car being as streetable as possible (it is where its used 99% of the time) and i certainly dont have the cash to make this a track only car. As for getting a cage and bolting it in just for events? thats another solution, something to consider.

there is also scott mc queen motorsport, runs a few calders days dont need a cage at all

also forced motorworx , and other combined sponsors such as import monster and inverse tyres are holding a day at calder

check out 'inverse tyres' on facebook for more info

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
