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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
