Hi all,

      Myself and a fellow new R35 owner wanted to test out the wet driving capability of our new drives. I see you can do some wet drift days out at Eastern Creek skip pan for $150. They look to run very often on Sat and Sundays 8.30am to 4.30pm.

      The below link is for the Sunday 13th November, but I am not welded to this date its just an example.

In addition I have emailed them asking to discuss a private booking just for us and I will see if we can get enough numbers. I also wanted to discuss the format and see if they are flexible to allow us to run a Texi style event after lunch.

This looks like good value and good fun. I have probably 5-8 friends who are keen, I just wanted to see if people from the club would be interested in getting out there as well.

Feel free to post up your expression of interest for something like this, and again they look to be running these several times a month so we could just jump on as individuals or we can come together as group.

Any time, I have not had the interest as expected, so I think a group of 20 will be almost impossible. I will post up the date once I book. Also they have never called be back with to discuss a group booking.

OK, I have been unable to get anyone from Australian Drift club to call me back. This matched with the lack of responses on this post means I will book the day for myself and a few friends as individuals. if anyone is interested, this is the date we will be booking.

Thanks for mentioning it Paul! I bought a ticket for the 13th. Haven't done this before so I'm half looking forward to it and half being apprehensive about it. Always wanted to see how the Stagea goes in the wet when pushing it a bit and this sounds like a good opportunity.

At least I won't be alone with AWD when you bring the R35. What are your friends driving? :)

Soviet, Im so sorry, by the time I got my mates and my son's mates to commit and I went to book, the 27 available spots turned to ZERO! I called them and apparently on Sat they took a group booking to take all the spots. I will post up the next one on Sunday in a new event.

Sorry Soviet, you will be solo on this one, please post how it goes Im really keen to hear what you thought of the event. If you liked it I will be booking another one.

No worries Paul, thanks for the heads-up! I've asked for a refund now. Driver tickets get a full refund if it's 3+ weeks in advance. That Sunday wasn't great for me in any case. I was going to make it work if others are going as well but won't bother on my own.

So yes, please create a new thread when you've settled on a new date. I'm still keen to try it!

Are you going to be at the SAU Anniversary Extravaganza tomorrow? I was thinking to ask around over the next events and see if any of the non-forum SAU people would be interested in a wetpan day.

Soviet, I will take the ticket, no need to return it, I need to learn how to control the 35 in the wet. I have 9 different Suspension/Traction/4WD settings to understand.

I will bring the car to Rouse Hill tomorrow if Cricket is rained out. See you there, and we can transfer the wet drift day if you want.

Cheers

Sorry, too late! They have already processed it. It only took 25 minutes for them to respond.

Maybe give them a call and see if it is available now :)

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
