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

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
