Meggala,

Do you have suggestions on any car park large enough and empty enough on weekends to safely practice drifting? seems to be quite a time to practice during this wet season...

please keep discussions of this type (ie the exact location and obvious references to illegal driving) to pm's or emails.

if anyone knows of such a place they can mention that they do and ask that ppl pm them for details.

rs73, i'm not picking on you, it's just we have to be careful of what we say from now on as we have an image to uphold.

thanks

My bro lost his lic this week so now i have a second car Hooray!

Its an 84 corrola and man does it go hard. I never driven a car that was so predictable while drifting in the wet. Proly cause no lsd but its rear wheel drive.

What a great car it uses 5l/100k and i can actually get it in my spot at work(unlike the god dam low as alll hell supra)

So instead of spending 80 bucks a week on fuel to and from and parking now i spend like 10-20 ooooh yeah:) The thing cost $800 and have had it for 18mnths and only replaced 2 tyres at 30 a piece. ECONOMY ECONOMY ECONOMY

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
