Hi All,

       After my failed attempt to organise a drift day last year, Im looking to do it on this new date.

Its on a Monday of the Kings Birthday weekend.  12 Jun 2023 7.30 am Start $170

https://www.australiandriftclub.com.au/events/12-jun-2023-wet-pan-drift-days/

There are currently 35 spots left, I will book tonight, if anyone wants to come please feel free to book. 

I have My R35 and my sons Evo going, and maybe 3-4 work mates.

If anyone else is interested book in early so we dont miss out on spots! Every date before this is fully booked so get on it!

Hope to see you there.

Thanks for mentioning it again! Just booked my ticket. Hopefully it works out this time.

@Nyoom I question you'd want to be splurging on track days right now but pinging you regardless. This might be much more enjoyable in a RWD Skyline.

Just as an aside, it is going to be double demerits still on that day.

I imagine double demerits would still be on...

@soviet_merlin really tempting. Might have to miss out on driving in this one though 🙁

Could tag along for some passenger rides if I'm free.

 

I'm not sure about getting my car on this either, HOWEVER, if there are a few of us, I might come down for the chance to nap some photos at the very least!

@OZ GTR35 How would you feel about me posting this on the SAUNSW website and social media? Might drag in a few more skylines/members that way? It'd definitely make @crashdown happy to get a track event on our calendar!

Hah, someone also please let Chris know. The time has come for the ute to shine. It was made for this.

Just letting everyone know there are no driver spots left, just passenger and spectators now. 

Dave, see you there, I will be in the silver 35 and my son is in his silver EVO.

I did some reading on how to drift the 35, apparently at greater than 15 deg steering angle the 4WD comes off, all the reading says the harder you go the better. I can only assume old Semi slicks and a wet skid pan means it wont be hard to loose traction, and I should be in for a fun day!

Hah, I'll be there in the silver Stagea so it'll fit right in.

Sounds like you got it all worked out Paul. Looking forward to see how it goes!

I'm going to try and take it easy on the car. No clutch kicking and no hand brake. I'm curious to see what it can do with just weight transfer and giving it some boost though.

No worries, I can ping you again a bit closer to the day. Jen is going to come as well and I'm sure she'll mention it to Elham. And of course feel free to jump in the car!

Good to meet you Merlin, the day was good I would recommend it to anyone who was interested. GTS people you will have a ball. GTRs obviously a little harder in 4WD. My son did not have the confidence to get the EVO off tilt but still had a ball.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
