is it just me, or is anyone else sick of the crap about drifting??

everywhere i look: drift this, drift that, you like drifting?, i drifted..., blah blah blah

sorry, have to bitch about it somewhere...

ok yeah its fun throwing the car sideways around a corner every now and then, but seriously... making it a sport?? i mean come on who actually takes their car to a track and drifts? 1 out of every 50 people!

i mean i read HPI and like the articles and cars and stuff but this drift is really starting to shit me.

Oh and while i'm here, i hate it when people talk about drifting like they do it all the time! BS you do, and if so then you are a hoon and get off my roads!

I know i will get flamed for this but what happened to good old racing? i LIKE traction... it makes me go faster!

I HATE DRIFT!!!!

Waz.

PS... I HATE DRIFT!

PPS... I have a headache now

lmao... i think i know what ur talking about.

posers... people in homodores who think because they floor it out of a corner and fishy down the road that they are drifting...

real drifting is great to watch... i love it... soon i will be partaking in it once the car is completely setup... some people like it some dont...

then again u just might not like it all together... so be it

i hate F1 i think its the ***in gayest thing in the world... "omg he rocks! he done the same thing for 2 hours on the same circuit" same with V8 supercars... the only track racing i like watching is the GTP cause theyre more aggressive and its nice and short :thumbsup:

theres only one true motor sport which requires huge amounts of skil and talent and thats rallying... even F1 drivers a super touring drivers who have tried rallying admit they just dont know how these guys can do it at such high speeds.

your opinions are yours to keep and treasure and will always be ur opinions... i dont see why u should be flammed for it.

im sort of with you on this, especially when i see magazines like HPI and SPEED having whole issues dedicated to it, sure a bit of sideways is fun, but i would much rather the rush of traction. I mean even the americans are drifting now, so that says alot about the 'sport'. BTW i also hate the strawberry face conversions, black roofs, t-wings and stickers associated with drift....but i luv the spoilerless, deep dish rims, carbon fibre bonnet look.

so u like some rice... but dont like others... lol

each to their own.

HPI have their own drift mag now and i would hardly call the 10 page spread or whatever it was on drift in speed a "dedicated" issue.

and the americans have been doing it well before we were... same with the kiwis

I took the 4wd shaft out of my Tamiya Big Wig so that i could drift.... that makes me the father figure of drift in this country.... ;)

ROFL! :thumbsup:

You can't deny a bit of sideways action is fun on the track. If you haven't tried it then maybe you would I guess...:)

Hahahaah Big Wig and Test Drive II, I think we had the same childhood Roy...

Drifting has it's benefits, it rids the world of S13's which can only be a good thing.

Also it is environmentally sound, it takes the tyres that we waste and uses the

rest of the rubber.

But yes, the main bad thing about drift is the Punch Koala™!

I gave up on F1 when I heard an F1 fan call it the car racing version of "the grand championship of chess".

I guess drift is not for everyone. But there must be enough following for it to have it's own mag in Aus now.

Personally I like the fact that the D1 drifters spend so much money on parts and paint and then go crash into the wall. And the fact that on one of the HPI videos or mags there is a drift group called "garage junks". :thumbsup:

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
