[potatoemuffn]

man it lost a bit ov power at the end bro buma and you where doing mint as beside the gear grinding lol cant find it just grind it hahaha

[MrR31power]

Hey dude i have watched most of your drift vids mad skills by the way. it seems the R32 is starting to lack a little power and grid the gears a little but it just keeps on drifting. Much mods done to this beast ?

@MrR31power

hey mate, its never put out much power, 180kw in its prime about 4 years ago. ive never wanted too much as i believe it takes incentive away for the driver to push a car around properly, instead relying on power to make up for mistakes and hard steering. it has been slowly losing power, at first i just kept driving, but now it's getting to the point where it's becoming a huge hindrance as you can see in the vid.

[inertiaMS]

before this day i pulled my exhaust manifold off, the gasket was blown, the manifold was warped and a few of the studs had broke off. once i replaced this i was expecting it to regain power. Next praccy unfortunately i was having the same problem, went through the engine again, found a huge cut in one of the fmic hoses that was clearly leaking boost. I also put a oil cooler on hoping that would keep temps down, which i also believed to be one of the problems with the power.

[inertiaMS]

Unfortunately when i got to winton, i was having the same problems again, except i found after the 2nd session, a heater hose was broken, and id been running without water for at least 1 session. After spending all day fixing that, we found the thermostat was broken too. Next day i got a few sessions before there was steam coming out of the engine, and id popped another water line at some stage.

[inertiaMS]

When i got home i checked the radiator, it was 50% blocked, so along with the fucked thermostat basically i havent had a radiator for a long time. My guess is that the engine has been overheating, putting the ecu into safe mode, which has been cutting the power. Which tells me that it's pretty much been overheating constantly at each track day for probably over a year now. Compression and leakdown tests however show it's still all good.

[inertiaMS]

As far as the gearbox goes, i have a sneaking suspicion a lot of the problem started with the clutch and not fully disengaging, but basically the synchros for 2nd died making it crunch, then about half way through this clip, i grind the gears down so far it cant stay engaged into 2nd, hence why you see it popping out of gears a few times, or me using 3rd gear where i should be using 2nd.

awesome work . pity about the G box but sure theres more to come from this beast

[TheDriftkid95]

Are u going to drift any competitions in 2011? :) U are very good, seems better than Driftsquid :P

[inertiaMS]

@TheDriftkid95

hey mate, would rather spend my money doing events i enjoy more, i just cant justify the money it costs. In a perfect world id do comp and my own thing, but i cant afford to do it all. Going out and drifting as hard as you can, with people you want to drift with, and worry about having a good time rather than satisfying a few judging criteria's to bag a trophy is what a freestyle sport like drift should be about imo, competition has it's place, but doesnt take priority for me.

[TheDriftkid95]

@inertiaMS I understand :) U get more time to drift when u drift at events than u would when u drift at comps. But are more than good enough to drift in competitions and win them. And when u do that u get sponsors and then you can afford the competitions. But that is my opinion. Keep up the good work! Great videos! And love ur aggresive style!

[inertiaMS]

@TheDriftkid95

unfortunately it doesn't really work that way, i know a lot if not most of the import and drift related businesses in SA, and they know me, so it's not really an issue of getting known, it's just no one really wants to fork out the cost for sponsorship here in SA. your best bet to get sponsorship is to rock up with a built car, looking pretty, with everything already done, no one wants to build a car for you.

cheers anyway mate.

[djonno2000]

Nice work bro! Really working to keep that thing spinning in 3rd aye. What do you hit at 1:40?? Looks like quite a tap :P Looks like a lot of fun tho and stoked to see this sort of thing happening in aus!

[inertiaMS]

@djonno2000

hey man, mate hayden hits me from behind after taking a bit longer than me to slow down when the guy in front spins in front of us. he did a bit of cosmetic damage to his car, just a indicator and headlight, guard/front bar etc, mine just chipped the tail light on the edge, and dented the rear 1/4 panel in a decent distance. pretty much exactly the same damage that happened with me and chris on north
