I used to be heavily into racing when I was a teenager - mainly electric powered stuff (indoors) with a circuit made from filled fire hoses. Entered quite a few tournaments and did pretty well.....

I have a Tamiya R/C car here, but rarely use it.

Besides a 4 year old boy +RC car= broken RC car :P

Shame because if I had more time to race I have a decent sized, specially built race track not more than 10 minutes from place...

I was really into R/C as a kid. Still have one that I race at my local track and empty carparks for kicks, nothing competitive just a few friends racing. Had a huge crash in April and I'm almost finished fixing it up. I have an old Tamiya TGX chassis(and 350Z body) with OS15CVX engine with all the possible hop-hup options. Can hit 90 km/h with the tall gearbox. A pic:

OOops no what I meant was to me there is ONLY drifting RC cars... none of this off road or circut rubbish :)

I use a tamiya t04 chassis with a nomuken skyline r34 shell, a 1 way front diff, locked rear diff, remove the sway bars and running pvs tubing for tyres. This is the standard setup here.

Here are some pics of the track and the guys I stuff around with here (yes that is the D1 driver Kuroi LOL) When we arent out drifting we are usually at Radio Tengoku (sad I know)

ps. Please ignore the shocking pics of me

monzaro - yeah... they also do all kinds of silly stuff like mount lighter flints into the piping so you get sparks when you are drifting also they get those drift yokomo tyres and take the plastic rings off and mount fencing wire instead LOL

The setup of the cars sounds simple but its actually quite tricky to get the right balance between oversteer and understeer.

Too much understeer and obviously the car is just ploughing everywhere, but too much oversteer and the car isnt controllable.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
