Hey guys,

Two things.

Firstly, is it just me or isn't drifting very big here yet, I was on www.secretdrift.com which is in the eastern states and almost every weekend they are drifting. I was hoping that there would be more over here as i'm really interested in getting into it. We could like have cruises and make our way to the track etc. If anyone has any sort of info on it please let me know.

The other thing is that i'm in need of a drift car (cheap as I can't afford anything else) and i don't wanna smash my R33. I'm after maybe an R31 or even as escort, gemini, or datsun. Please tell me what you think.

its not so much a lack of interest..

its more a lack of willingness by the local providers of the tracks, waneroo are so utterly backwards and archaic in there thinking, that any new and exciting form of motorsport they tend to run and hide from..

collies a fair hike away, and the new airport circut, may one day do drifting, but atm, there not to keen on it, and theres not much you can do about it..

was in SA last weekend for the drift nats, and they've got it so good over there, pretty mcuh every week, legal drifto, and the SA sporting car club is right behind it and even considering making changes to the way mallala is laid out to make it even better for drift..

wish the WA sporting car club was like that..

ultimately, if you have 3.5k to hire the track, and then cash to get permits, you can run drift days..

id say waneroo will be a long way off getting a clue and realising its a good thing, instead of shunning it like everything else

Drift in WA - I wish, I wish, I wish.

I just came over from SA, and yeah its gaining momentum there nicely, as it is in nsw, vic and qld.

Does anybody have an idea of the cost of collie track? or contact details where I could find out?

Nice cruise and a bit of dorifto, might be worth organising as a monthly event, or even a one off.

As for a drifter, S13 manual would be the ticket for entry price, handling and cost effective, ie with very little mods and they handle very well. Plenty of parts around too. Thats MHO anyways.

collie have a track that people use....and the perth boys travel down and go nuts for a day.....there are competitions and all...... go to www.dorifuto.net and there should be some bits on some of the collie days....

They havent exactly updated the site in a while, does anyone know of when the next day will be at collie, might pop down and have a watch.

mate as a cheep drift car, just get a silvia, mine is a s13 det stocka, and it gets sideways nicely!!! mine was 5500k gemy or datto would b cheeper but mass body role and silvia's have good power to weight ratio's!!!

gotta have a turbo tho!!!

:kick:

AHAHAHA got to have a turbo AAHAHAHHAHAHA, have u heard of ae86?

guess you done watch alot of d1 hay

drifting doesnt need mods, the more mods the easyer it becomes to drift (my thread anywayz) for example to get a stocky r33 sideways (yes it is very possable and not just power-side) it is abit hard due to weight etc etc but if it had like a 400ps and a few sups mods i belived it would be soo much easyer.

drifting is more skill than anything i belived, if in the d1 a 175ps ae86 can out drift a 450ps s15, and a r34 4dr, soarer and chaser which all weight alot can also drift and place in the 10top what can i say.

ohh yeah turn wheels in slightly = camber

this has come up a few times, its not like we aren't into drifting, bloody hell half the car scene wants to drift to their hearts content but as mentioned there's bugger all places to do it.

And now with all that anti-hoon bullshit, most places are very reluctant to involve themselves in anything that will encourage hoon behaviour.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
