Do not wear shorts and a t-shirt we know its getting warmer but this is for your own safety.

Passengers: Passengers are strictly not permitted.

Prizes: Prizes will be awarded to the top three drifters on the night courtesy of Autobarn Sunbury . The top three drifters are decided by a top eight D1 style drift battle. The battle begins at 9:15pm presentations at 9:50pm.

Bryce Steele and the boys from Dr Rubber (Victoria Pde) will be there on March 20 with used and new rubber, if you are interested. Bryce will also have a truck with some race specific product for sale like helmets, gloves and even RON 110 fuel!!

Drift tyres will be available for sale and fitting at approximately $15 per tyre.

BEGINNERS

Remember the bottom section of the track will be open for practice for BEGINNERS ONLY, and we will close it at 9.15pm. 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

    • OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.
    • Might be there for work later in the year. Wouldn't mind catching up with you fellas - can't have too many beers, but will consume copious amounts of takoyaki while executing an asian squat on the side of the road while you blokes sort out your hangovers.
    • I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)
    • Slap a 460L into the car, send its mum.  
    • So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again.
