LOl..thanks, where you driving or watching. Should have come up and said hello if you think you knew who i was:)

Thats the only thing going for my car at the moment, its pulling strong and sounding trick:)

Nah just watching have to be 18 to drift which is ghey and my car is still in Japan and wont be complied till september which sucks a fat one, but i got it 7k below market valvue so iam not fussed

I heard about it on one of the Forums and came down for a look. Enjoyed the tyre frying - Roy did real good for his first time on track!

Every time I go to Calder Park I get more and more annoyed with it - Its a really lousy track I rekon. Itd be good if they build a purpose built drift track somewhere because I rekon theres a Lot of People into It. I personally wouldnt take a car to calder, 3 corners, high prices, cement walls and generally low speed sliding. Im sorry but its a Joke. I wudnt wanna send my car into the wall and for just 3 corners! Not worth it.

Ive been to a Few Drift comps over back home In WA and I can tell ya the track back there - collie - is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better and guys actually drift the whole circuit, which is free of cement walls, and nice sweeper corners and series of links.Smooth bitumen as well. High Speed entertaining drifting. Its not a wonder why the WA boys do so well in the Drift Nats. Sadly over there theres no organisations like Fullock or anyone having drift practice days etc. Over here there lucky to have the organisation, but not the track.

So is there any Talk of a track coming up or maybe another more suitable venue? I havent been to Winton or Sandown, but are they any better?

mate ur preaching to the wrong people...

u think we like calder? its a hole... but its also a lot more difficult than most tracks around australia and thats why this track sorts the boys from the men... the one in mallala is much more forgiving as are a lot of the tracks around australia.

so if ur like the NZ drivers and the Japanese drivers (or that psycho matt sampson) Calder is actually quicte a good track for drift.

Drift isnt judged on the whole track... just sections... thats the idea.

Getting the governemt to build a track here in melbourne is like trying to pull gold from a dolphins arsehole... it aint going to happen unless someone wins lotto and funds it themselves.

It shouldnt be up the govt to build one:)

I wouldnt be surprised if Calder does build such a facility now that the track is goign to be round for a long time to come.

That said, Winton is the perfect place to hold such as event...but ppl seem to hate the fact that they have to drive for 2 hours, goes to show how keen (or not) they really are:(

people drive hours to drift at the track at Gippsland park... others drive 6 hours and truck there cars to Adelaide, NSW and Queensland so i highly doubt people cant be considered keen.

dont see many people taking there cars to NSW for a track day now do u? :(

I'm gonna do eastern creek when I get my car to a level i'm happy with.

I keep hearing too many things coming out of NSW about GTST's being faster than GTR's. I'm sure Andrew will want to take this challenge aswell.

Yeah I mangaged like 5 photos before the camera died (forgot to charge the battery - oops) - there is also video footage but the camera didnt seem to like focusing on anything except the lights and smoke once it got dark. Chris has the footage - ill check with him how its coming along.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
