Coulston Motorsport
Ned Coulston Drift, vic based
The o.g had its first outing in practically 5 years now sporting a freshly built ls1 with a pulsar g42 1450 turbo , we only ran it in on 6psi still making 600hp at the wheels and ran flawless all weekend , now to change a couple of things , throw it back on the dyno and wind some boost in then give it a cosmetic tidy up , super keen to get some more seat time then step back into some comps in 2024 π¦Ύπ¦Ύ
Been a minute between posts!
Got the old girl out of the shed for a clean up, check over and small to-do list!
Will be taking it to a couple of matsuri's this year to warm back into things ππ
Should get the old girl out some time this year....even for a prac day
Cars almost ready for the first comp for the year and basically the first proper drive this year at VicDrift 2019 Championship - Round 5 - Winton Back Section ,
Will be a little out of touch but keen to jump back in for a drive in 3 weeks π€π€
Haven't posted in ages on here,
So a few months ago the nitto oil pump on the rb30det decided it had enough, luckily I think no further damage was done,
In the mean time, I purchased a S2 rb25det wrecker engine as a stand in, bolted all my parts to it and gave it a nice safe tune making 303rwkw,
We drove at Matsuri (video attached) and had a blast unfortunately having a spark issue which is currently being rectified!
Hoping to do vicdrift rd5 comp in September if the parts turn up in time.
Then get the 30back together and actually do a full comp season next year if I can get some support (or go on a 2 minute noodle diet π)
Unfortunately testing the car yesterday before I made the trip to Melbourne I noticed the oil pressure drop, suspect broken nitto oil pump,
But everyone go check out VicDrift 2019 Championship - *Night* Round 2 - Calder Park ,
With local Jordan Putkunz competing, good luck mate
Getting keen for Saturday, first time driving at calder and first drive for the year! Come check it out
Saturday at Sydney Motorsport Park , Jamboree , drift demo's!! Come check it out

The car is starting to take shape, hasn't been started in 5 months and fired up perfectly on old E85, few bits and pieces then paint, then cook some tyres at Matsuri!!!!
