unfortunately i cant claim the driving as my own as im only a beginner and decided to give the car over for a visitor to australia for the actual comp portion of drift battle to Jairus Whanerau from New Zealand.

right click and save as - this is Jairus's second pass... first time he was even in the car so he didnt exactly have much time to prac in it to get used to it.

right click and save as - 3rd pass... mmmmmmmm

haha loved the commentator...

" of corrupt drift"

" of d1 garage"

"and now an international guest, drifting for team super fun happy sliders"

LMAO ROFL... love it...

how'd you manage to get Jairus to drift your car...

we were farken dissapointed as by the tandem match up tho... bloody legacy wagon got an easy picking and blew it... bah. Final 4 shoulda been the SA boys and the ceffy methinks, not the R33.

it was bs... at the driver briefing we were told that in the tandems the chase car should follow exactly what the lead car does to win... if the lead car does something to make the other car avoid hitting him then he gets a better mark... that 3rd round jairus led and not one time did the onevia follow his line... he didnt enter anywhere near as early into the corners so of course he was able to get closer... but he didnt get as good an angle through the corners... and jairus started drifting from behind the bridge through the last corner in one motion... of course thats going to be slightly slower than fishtailing but fishtailing is piss easy compared to one full motion which they said scored higher.

and the onevia got so close cause he was fishtailing the entry to the last corner that HE almost hit my car... bah... doesnt matter... he wants to start competing here.... with my car ;) he said hes going to talk to the sponsors back home about it and buy my car and leave it here in aus so he can fly over for the events.

i met him saturday in the pits after i did a few prac laps and he came over and had a talk about the car cause he had one in NZ that he drifted... we spoke for a while about the comp and NZ and then he saw me on sunday and came said hi and we chatted a bit more.... i finished in the prac session and asked if he wanted to go out in my place and actually do the comp... he was eager to get out there for the whole weekend so i handed him the keys :P

he didnt get any prac.... only the 3 laps u get to get into the top 16 lol... on his third lap he finally got it right and drifted the last section in 1 :) just like the D1 jap drivers

after pricing 18" tyres last week im cringing at those pics!!!

After viewing one of the vids i was impressed though. You car certainly must have a bit of balls to smoke em in some of the situations there. That track is rather different to the track we have up here for drifting, would love to have a go at it.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
