Trying to confirm an early march date with Sidline at the moment.

Mick - they are strict about chucking donuts and misbehaving etc, but drift is what we are there to do. Dude you were in a Daewoo, you were always gonna cop some flack :D

In regards to payment - its first in best dressed. Im giving SAU a week or so to get payment to me, then i will get PF to fill the remaining spots. If you pay, then want to pull out, you need to find someone to fill your space, as I am taking the responsibility to front up with a lot of cash on the day. Payment by deposit into my bank account or mail order usually.

It will be a Sunday.

Two words - fark yeah. I'm in for sure. The dump pipe is screaming to be used again, legally this time :D

We could share my car if you want, just buy two spots and drive one car. It's the Stagea's turn next time though :)

In the past, spare spots have become available at starting time due to some unfortunate circumstances, like Mesmer's wheel falling off on the way to the skidpan. Rest assured there is huge demand for this event as another club will be filling the remaining spots, and it is unlikely there will be spots available on the day.

If you want in, you are best off securing a spot.

Trust me, you wont regret it.

Recap - tyre wear is minimal, damage to car highly unlikely (would be your own fault) its not hard on engines/gearboxes, excellent instructors and very social atmosphere, not tightly regulated.

hey guys I know i'm new to the scene.... but I really want to get involved... put me down for a spot... I am part of the interested crew that is coming with Pete and Jay from rocky....

I am really looking forward too it and have already told my boss that i will be taking holidays some time in march....

I might have to slide a new diff under the rear of the Q before the event though.... and what's the deal with tyres.... I heard that with the SR20 club there was a deal where they provided compliance tyres to trash....

If not i have some Dorifto rims anyway....

thanks a heap slip.... look forward to meeting you all....

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
