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.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
