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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
