Seeing as it was such a lovely night last night (cold) i thought i would go and practice some drifting around the factory areas at 3am when there isnt anyone else around.

It lasted one corner :P

Did ok coming into the corner.... coming out of it was a little different.

Was holding it sideways quite well going down the rd after the corner but let off the accelerator (i think this is why it happend) too much and the tyres gripped and threw me the other way more than i was meant to and was about to go head on into the meadian strip so i punched the accelerator all the way to the floor to get the wheels spinning and try and pull out of it and managed to flick it the other way and slow myself down a little more before hitting the concrete/grass sideon with the back wheel.

All i got out of it was a flat tyre (rear tyre sperated a little from the rim) which cost $20 to fix! :D

Think i will just wait until the good doctor shows me properly :)

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
    • thanks, will conduct myself accordingly. i unfortunately put about 150 miles on the car before reading this thread again, however no PS issues, and definitely no turbo issues. it spools normally and still feels fast to me, probably because my previous car was an N/A auto sedan...gonna go fix the PS vacuum line though lol. safe to say, got what i came to this thread for. thanks  
    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
