Where Are The Super Fun Happy Sliders?


Recommended Posts

Did the fighting force of extraordinary magnitude ever get out of the garage and onto the track???

I ask becuase i want some company when going to a few of these little lessons on protracted suicide...so who is actaully entering in the days/comps?

I recall the SFHS club was going to do its own thing, and not be associated with SAU, and thats cool, but its time SAU and Team Wang are represented...so lets see who can do the most panel damage :lol:

Disclaimer

LOL...lets see who takes life too serious and is offended / insulted, not meant to be offensive , just a ruse, an attempt to stimulate some interest amongst those hibernating...

guys in NSW and SA are already hitting the track under the banner... check on NS and FLM forums ;)

narkeh's drifter's on its way from japan. Mine will be getting S13 suspension and steering rack from UPI fitted in the coming two weekends. Dunno if it'll be ready by the 24th, but I'll try. We'll be in the thick of it even if we don't compete Roy... if you come we'll keep you company anyways. I'll even bring some suntan lotion for ya :O

Cool...so being serious for a moment, i have read the CAMS aspects of it and starting to get my head around the different insurances the days run under...but who are running the better organised days, and which days does a hack novice get the most enjoyment out of?

hack novice will get the most out of FLM events in VIC, if you're in Syd then either the fatz days or ID days.

DA (Drift Australia) events, which are now CAMS sanctioned, are closed to most privateers and beginners, and you need to be invited to participate.

FLM is a CAMS affiliated club, but to my knowledge their events aren't CAMS sanctioned. Which explains the event at Winton, as they operate without the need for CAMS liability insurance.

But Calder isnt the best , its 3 corners :O

The Winton day looks like the layout will be ok. So are these days full of sh1tters who arent overly concerned about rubbing ppls daily drivers, because thats drifting?

My biggest concern is keeping me out of the wall, a thing i no doubt will struggle with..and would rather not have ppl trying to drift right next to me, ummm into me

And these are pretty basic questions, and sorry... but I have never really been that interested in it and figure the WRX Club days are coming to an end so may as well get involved in a few of these days over XMAS ;)

Winton's layout should be good fun. I mean, having used a Proton Elise... I mean Lotus Elise through the chicanes you should be pretty familiar with it.

The people that bring their cars drifting are just as possessive of their cars as you, and entrants are sent out with sufficient gap between them that if an incident was to happen, then the marshalls will have enough time to delay proceedings till the mishap is cleared.

As for drifting alongside someone, whether you take part in it is totally up to you. Bumps on the track are never intentional, and reckless driving isn't allowed, but accidents do happen. That said I've never seen hoons on the track who have no regard for other people's property.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
