awesome....if I can pay off my latest debt for parts im THERE !!!!

Only problem is I need some tyres....oh and ive NEVER tried properly drifting before fair enough Ive gotten sideways around a corner etc...but yeah total noob....

pete you mentioned last time at the RSL that you had some cheap tyres I can buy for the day...

I have 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 rear....anything that will stretch over that will do me fine !

i think i want to come!...

maybe i will!>...need to learn how to drift......

Question : Do the instructors drive the participants car to show what it is capable of?...thats if the participant is new to this?

yea instructors will take you out in your car to giveyou some points

and we also take you out in our car to show your the crazy way todo it

hmmm is there ANY kind of insurance for these days ??

cause my insurance company sure as hell aint gonna cough up if its damaged while drifting at a racetrack.

Just asking cause if I damage it then yeah tough luck for me....but what if one of the instructors cause some damage ?

I mean I know their professionals but hey even monkeys fall off trees......

So to put my mind at ease a little bit can you clarify what exactly they`ll do with your car to show what "its capable of" ?

Sorry for being anal about the whole thing pete...but its something I wanna know....haha ill still attend the day regardless !!!

I mean I know their professionals but hey even monkeys fall off trees......

Generally it takes a MASSIVE f**k up to do any damage at oran park driftland. In general there are not too many incidents and the incidents usually come from someone going way to hard and losing control....

Instructors will not go any where near the limits with your car. Also you are not forced to have an instructor drive your car however it can be very beneficial to see what your car can do if its your firts time.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.
