Hello there,

It is good to hear that you are interested in drifting. There are a few practise days at Wakefield, held by various groups and clubs. I am associated with Initial Drift Australia and turn up to their days. Unfortunately they only have been able to book 4 days for this year (2 have already been run).

Raceline/Stadium drift have two weekends of drifting, which include a competition. One has just passed in May, the next will be in November. It may sound like a lot of time, but they accept up to 90 cars and also add the competition drivers (20-30). Max recommended is just over 60 cars at Wakefield.

Hit and Run Drift Club and Revolution Motorsports run weekday drifting capped at 20 to 25 people. You will get maximum track time at these days but it is a weekday and costs $20-$50 more.

If you have never drifted before, I would recommend going to a Skidpan day, either here in Canberra or in Sydney.

Joggers are fine for most low level/entry level events. If a higher level of clothing (race gear) is required, they will normally advise that to all entrants.

A lot of people wear those light puma shoes but I prefer something a little larger.

Pay and enter. Couldn't you tell by the quality of driving haha.

No street level or pro comp.

If you're interested in comps, spend money on a powerful car. Practise, experience and good skill doesn't get you far. I know it shouldn't be like this but it is reality. Drivers with good skill and a good car are very few.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
