Any beginners using this section of track are able to drive on the main circuit if they feel capable. Beginners will be instructed on how to drift by the Full Lock Drift Team/FLM Racing free of charge.

Hope to see you all there !

Did we speak tro one another? Should have said hello :cheers:

The guys running the day were friendly and despite my drifiting under yellows, didnt ream me like i was expecting once my shortcoming had been pointed out to me:(

Yeh, it was good fun...but christ its hard on the car. It was my first time ever trying to drift and found giving it a punt in 3rd gear on boost was way more dangerous then when sliding around in 2nd gear:(

I thiunk i spun more then any other car, winding down the boost and upping the rev limiter helped but i still sucked:(

Still good fun though. RowdyR32 was the grey R32 GTST with the RB26, and 46n2 was the white stocka GTST

Good to see you guys giving it a go :(

Splitting the track into 2 looks to have been a good idea though. Glad to see there was more supervision and safety officers there this time round to sort out any hassles, thankyou! Good night in all I think :D

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
