GCRC Midweek Madness Matsuri


Battles come and go...


But some will continue and continue until episode #152


I always enjoy close battles and the minivan has the potential to be just as good as my other chassis.

Street Jam R3R Rear Motor - The best in the world?


It's a bold statement to say something is the best in the world. But this is among them.


The owner of this machine has taken a long long time and put in an extreme amount of effort to create this machine.

Saturday Premier Battles


When the premium drift ticket is on the card... stand back, it's getting mental.


With everyone else out buying $2 xmas presents, the hard core are still attacking the concrete.


3.0+ CS requires a different setup but there are still many different ways to achieve the same result. It took a few laps to dial the Strret Jam Rear Motor and the Yokomo DRB to the same handling range, but then it was on!


I had countless laps within the 2centimeter zone on on the b pilar and the 2mm zone in transition. Shit was off the chart...

Of course I can't take pictures when I'm driving.  I need a cameraman.


But it wasn't only two in this tango...   Many laps on line through the tight route.


I think I picked up the camera for about 3 laps. and still managed to click off nice images.  Such is the premium drift.


This DRB is a new entry to GCRC. The Kazama S15 is an awesome shape too.


Implementing a few tricks to get relatively low CS 1.8 looking right.

High Class Kazama


Well Hello!


A double set of Kazama Auto GPX-R. Both with a touch of Bling.


My own "Tail Slider" and Active Hobby equipped Kazama Conversion of the R31 has a few nice pieces that finish off the chassis.


Many parts have be Re-Anodised black for a total black out.


Others raid the available parts bins and end up with a king's contrast. 24 Karat Bling.

Quite the pair. With 4 or 5 Kazama GPX-Rs and just as many R3Rs running around GCRC there's always inspiration to be had.

Soaring Battles at GCRC


GCRC is heating up. On track action is AMAZING!


I really tried a few new points to shoot from today. The results were very nice.


This selection of images was taken in a 3-4 minute period of battles that last battery after battery. I simply handed the reins of the new GPX-R to a friend and it's a tribute to the depth of skill, that these images result.


Love this shot. Front wheel frozen in position while the body rotates around it.


Street Jam R3R / Kazama runners sharing similar setups are amazing also. Pick up and R31-RS for a cheap price and it's a great entry point to slide central.


very tight battles.


Speed, Angle, Style! Got them all. 


Practicing the competition line. Well not really.


just going for that minimum proximity.


Who will switch first? All together please!


Yakuza Bosses in action.


I need a couple more drivers to complete my chassis.


RWD FR-D also playing among us.

Sunday Slides are soaring to new levels of fun!

Street Jam R3R Kazama GPX-R TailSlider Debut...


With not much experience in the R31 world, I enlisted some mechanics to help me out.



My Tail Slider tuned is tuned a bit differently however getting the basics right required the knowledge you only get from owning a particular brand for a while. 


Knowing that 1mm here and 2mm there makes a huge difference. It's where the 2mm can be used to best effect is most important.


One way direction... check
front CVD length ... check
Knuckle steering speed and position ... check.
CS up... check.


the result is a bit of a monster. the Ninja has it's own style . the biggest dynamic comes from 3 layers of weight on top of the front bumper support.  


But this is a useful technique for obtaining front grip. The Kazama chassis is a derivative of the RC-ART / STREET JAM group with many components shared among White Wolf also. This one wears some weight up front for balance. 


There are more than a few R31 derived chassis running at GCRC so expect a few more Street Jam related posts as I build more knowledge of what upgrades work well.

First impression was excellent in a totally different feel to how my Yokomo chassis are working. More input for the brain.
