not too sure if there are many pictures of the car going sideways, it was a bitch getting the balance of enough power vs too much vs too little. In fact the best corners were number 2 and 3. Only sort of linked the S bends once or twice all day. Still, it was my first attempt and I had a blast

would be good to see more SAU members out there next time.

Had a ball, not many people on the track, so heaps of runs.  Definately be at the next one, no matter what I am driving:p

thanks for the loan of the wheels Chris, will get them back to you soon:)

No probs mate.

It was good to see that the overall standard has improved a great deal since the first few drift days I had seen.

I think with Mallala eing used as well, the speeds where a lot greater than you'd see at Pt Gawler, so it was good to see.

Nice mix of cars as well

The Blitz R34 D1 car, try find a mpeg somewhere of that, its one of the most spectacular drift cars I have seen

The ex JMS Red R33 was also there, that sounded great, and there were a few other 'lines drifting quite well.

I'd say its more down to personal preference, but most people choose the S13/S14/S15 it seems. They sound like a crap though compared to RB's

only my opinion of course :)

I agree, cheap 4cyl crap. No offence to any SR owner :wassup: Remember this is a skyline forum so ANYTHING else is CRAP.

Dean, click on the thumbnail, and you get a big picture - its like magic...LOL

Nozilla, yeah, see a few R32s and R34s in Jap D1 videos. I dont think its the torque, although it doesnt hurt - probably due to being a lighter platform and the fact that silvias handle like a go kart with just coilovers. Not sure really.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
