Yep i aint really that interested in the whole drift thing either.

When i got my new brakes put in at a local shop one of the young guys asked me 'so does this do sick drifts?' i said no i aint a drifter. Then he proceded to show me his drift car, which was a stock shitbox vl with 2 smashed in windows and the panel damage to match, which ofcourse happened when he was trying to so a full sick drift!!!

thats because u own an auto  

:rofl:

well i do have an auto, but i'm not rushing out to get a manual conversion just to drift (like everyone keeps telling me! - i suppose that's what made me crack in the first place)

in the spirit of things i'll have to say 'go team wang!'

i'm with you guys...

cheers,

Waz.

as much as u hate it... get in a car with someone who knows how to do it properly.... i gurantee u will come out with a smile on ur face or shaking at the knees lol

WANG BITE TEH WANG0R!!! :rofl:

inark: You could say the same thing about your first night in prison...

I have only been in two cars being drifted at Morwell and one felt like an accident in progress, the other I could have slept, he was so smooth.

I sort of agree with you, while im sick of every second person telling me they are "drifters", i do love it when im just sitting at the lights and see a 32 or sumthing come around the corner completely sideways, it brings a smile to my face, but the next time someone says "so are you a good drifter" or "where do you drift" im gonna rip off there leg and beat shit out of them with it, i mean whats the go, i own a r32 so all of a sudden im a d1 spec doriftor?

I dont drift, purely because i cant afford the new tryes/panel damage, and even if i could, i wouldnt consider myself a 'drifter'

That refers to alot of silvia and 180sx owners that think just coz they got those cars they are drift experts.

Well done boys, last few posts are PURE GOLD.

Main reason im going off drift, is that you look at guys doing club/circuit days and spectators etc can view for free. Charging ppl to spectate at Drift days and turning a profit out of it goes against what club level motorsport stands for.

yeah i dont agree with how much they charge... i still think something should be tho seeing as it isnt cheap in australia to hire tracks... but the normal events that arent the nats are free entry for spectators

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
