Hi guys,

I dont know if many of you are aware, but Drift Australia is the new national drift series that is now up and running. They have just put up a website http://www.driftaustralia.com.au/index.asp which is looking pretty damn good, it even has the dates of the comps and the dates of the telecasts - SBS are telecasting the comps :headspin:

It appears that they are looking at getting a round going in WA, perhaps in 2006!

Anyways, I encourage anybody who may be iterested in drift, to check out there site. Maybe one day, drift will start to get the support and recognition here that it does in the east. Can only hope.

yeh it will be interesting for Full Lock series and for the Drift Australia series to get up together.

its proving interesting for some over in the eastern seaboard... to decide which to get into.. one is invite and the other is open to all ;)

i say bring it on!! :rofl:

Then you would just need somewhere to drift it.

Shame no one here lets people go thrashing - scared the cars might 'damage the track' - shame the tracks here are so much worse than the ones east that they get damaged. excuse sarcasm

I suppose that will cause some problems too, for the series to compete over here, they need somewhere to drive, a good track which isnt hours drive from no where.

yeh hence why they said 2006.. gives us enough time to work out our shit and get it done... and gives them enough time to organise it.. ;)

but stuff is being sorted as far as the track issues go :rofl:

  • 3 weeks later...

I'm so keen to start on some regular drifting in perth.

I just bought a a cefiro which is a total drift pig.

can wait to test it out on a track

does anybody know if the still orginise drift days down at the collie race track

Alan they are currently re-doing the track at Collie (resurfacing and changing layout) and so the track is out of action for a bit..

we are holding a Competition in September and details can be found in the Events section.

there is a training day in Collie on the 19th of June but that is fully booked out and their is a waiting list.. :(

other than that there is nothing :)

Perhaps we should lobby the govrnment to build a drift track and skid pan, or provide a place to go thrashing - just like legal street events.

There seems to be lots of skate board tracks around, so it appears dollars can be found to build facilities when the demand arrises - if they want to that it?

Can but dream, but it would be something positive in the fight against street hoons, just like the skate board track came about to keep kids off the street.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
