My first attempt lol As you can see the left rear quater is still in good shape. I brushed it on the wall a couple of times. Not because I'm so evil drifter, but because my tires sucked!!! 235/45/17. It felt like ice skating there. Anyway. My steering pump died on one of the practice sessions and I continued without the powersteering. Needless to say I didn't have fun for a long time. Coutersteering with no power sucks. Need to go to gym or smth.

and of course the fail pics Will start with some other guys and get to my ones haha))

Some car camera action from the run with Saito. \ Guy at the starting line assigned me for lead run on 1st run. But Saito went forward. I didn't get it but f**k that and I went chasing. And R154 gearbox maybe good when new. But when all the plastic parts wear out. It shifts like shit. I had to use one gear only to drift. Couldn't leave a chance for upshift or downshift. So 3rd gear here. WDS 2011 TOP8 DAIGO SAITO VS ??? car camera -???? ???? ????-56??? http://player.56.com/v_NjM0MjIwNTk.swf Some action pics I've found over on chinese internet:

Top 8 battles next. And I had to run with Daigo Saito. The X-chassis king of drift lol. He was driving chinese S15 with sequential gearbox and NOS. Chinese guys have money:) Anyway, one more time to say that I suck at chasing. Or drifting close. Saito was using inner line, which was not the gudged drift line. They wanted for us to do one more time. But.... Anyway you will see what happened later. It will be pretty entertaining. WDS 2011 TOP8 DAIGO SAITO VS ??? -???? ???? ????-56??? http://player.56.com/v_NjMzOTY3MjI.swf

Here are a few vids. They are hosted on chinese youtube-like website. Youtube is actually banned in china, so its harder for me to get there fast. Those will work for now First is Top16 battle with Taiwanese drifter ZhangShenJun. In pink S13. SDT means Shanghai Drift Team. I hope they will have STDs. I thought I lost that battle. But the gudges decided to let me through. Since they could see how that guy straitened out couple times during my lead run. Ohhh. When chasing him, I hit the wall pretty hard. You can see the rear quarter damage haha. Didn't straiten out though. Btw. I'm using 4th gear on this run. All 4th gear. No shifting. Only abusing the clutch. I didn't think it would work, but it did. I ran 4.3 final gear. http://player.56.com/v_NjMzNDQ5NzI.swf http://www.56.com/u3...jMzNDQ5NzI.html Same vid, different angle. http://player.56.com/v_NjQzMDkzNTA.swf http://www.56.com/u17/v_NjQzMDkzNTA.html

Day 11 September 27th Had to ask guys from a fellow workshop for help. Running out of time. Did the intercooler piping. Factory radiator support had to go also Instead a nice CUSCO tower bar in its place;) Intercooler piping came out pretty short. Will be good for response. Day 12 September 28 to 29th Here are the guys wiring up a dashboard. It had to be simple and easy to work on later. All shit fitted. Bumper on. Now waiting for ecu to be wired in. It was like 3am and didn't start the engine yet. Had to be in the event place by 8:30AM for practice session. Had to leave 2 hours for the road. Pretty much all finished. Engine will start soon. No head lights this time:( No tail lights either. Gonna drive 100kms to event on highway. Haha. Dangerous stuff http://www.56.com/u80/v_NjQzMDc4Mjk.html http://player.56.com/v_NjQzMDc4Mjk.swf And by 6:30AM the engine started. Packed some stuff and left. Car was tuned on the road to the event. )))

Day 9 September 25 Front suspension fit - ok! Crossmember in - ok! Engine in - ok))) Now was the weak part: doing the driveshaft. No one really knows how to do one. And no balancers around. There was a 3cm gap between toyota input shaft and nissan rear. I first wanted to make a flange to mate the two together. But that would take time which we didn't have. Decided to get the nissan flange out and pressed in toyota one and welded shut. Worked out just right. Redid the driveshaft mount. Worked no problems even past 100mph or 180kph. Liked how it went. Nice ghetto style Day 10 September 26th Had a lazy afternoon. Decided to cut out the front innerfenders out, Tires would rub them on full lock. I didn't have wheel spacers. So inner fenders had to go. Cut !!! Maestro continued on his wiring magic, changing inj and coilpacks connectors and rewiring the engine. Had to modify the downpipe a bit. Not the cleanest job. But it works, right ? Started mocking up the radiator fitment, intercooler. Will run this cool vicsous fan shroud. From Toyota Crown JZS133. Which are abundunt here. And manual too;) W58. If you guys need factory clutch parts I can hook you up:)

Day 7 September 23rd Pretty much done on the roll cage. I wish we could use more time on that. But its a race against time:( Finished assymbling the rear suframe and fitted on car. 2 calipers on each side + driftworks knuckles a present from my friend. Should be pretty good for drifting haha Test fitted the turbo and tried the 2jz-ge+t down pipe. Should work out pretty good, Day 8 September 24 More pics of the turbo. Look at the double flappers. Haha. This thing has some mighty actuator opening at 2bar. Had do ditch all that crap and run it wastegate. Which was the original idea. Guy is doing his magic. Doing the wiring. He is pro and this job is for him. He tunes HKS Vpros. Got some ideas from SerialNine X8 a long time ago. Just couldn't realise it earlier. Also twin wastegates. Chinese 38mm. Which seezed a couple times at the drift event. Making a f**king hussle. Unbolt, disassamble, sand the valve neck assamble put back in. Don't wanna do that every time right ? ))) I'm cheap ass. Ended modifying the front crossmember. Moved the steering rack mounts forward by 2.5cm to help cure the stuck steering at lock. Hate that. Shit worked and I'm happy.

Day 4 September 19th Got all the interior out. Got some dry ice and got all the sound deadening out. Started doing the boxes for the roll cage. Day 5 September 20th Was working on the rollcage with the guys. Trying to replicate some nascar bars haha. Test fitted 2jz block to see the fitment. f**king engine mounts from zero lab are total worthless shit. They way they space the mounts is impossible. They don't even line up. Had to get one mount copied here and used the same mount on both sides. The only way it looked like it could work out and it did ))) Day 6 September 21th Run out of tube for rollcage. Started on the rear subframe. Made some solid mount raise rear subframe mounts. Also got some parts in. 4 rear 2 pot calipers for my car. 2jz AT bellhosuing for some experiments. Which are really f**king going to happen. And some premade brackets to run individual 2 pot calipers for hydro handbrake. Got the suspension arms from my old car. China spec. But worked on daily every day for 2 years no problem.

Hey, guys ! A small intro. Im russian and work and live in China, Beijing. Each f**king year there is this epic drift event in a city nearby. World Drift Series its name. WDSÊÀ½çÆû³µÆ®ÒÆϵÁÐÈü¹ÙÍø-WDS ,WDS , WDSCHINA£¬WDS Drift, WDS Drifting You can see some videos on youtube and coverage on speedhunters. American drifters(Matt Powers, JR, Ross Petty etc) are invited to event for even more madness and destruction. In 2010 I was driving an ass-spec C33 build in one week with 1jz and small T3-T4 turbo. All was good, only the f**king W58 factory clutch was sleeping. Untill on the last day at night I got my friend to borrow his r154 with ACT HD clutch. Which helped a bit. Funny thing is I got very deep into the grid. Going through top 32s and to top16s. Was kicked out in top4 battle by Ueo. Top 8 battle was with Imamura and I got lucky his half-shaft snapped)) Otherwise my weak ass skills and car wouldn't let me finish in top 8. Which is really funny with chinese guys buying expensive here s-chassis built by japanese/taiwanese for crazy money. Anyway, its always a huge problem to find a good garage or tuner here. But I was lucky and got help from a local guy. He basically sponsored me for event. Half of the parts on the car was mine. Engine wise it was his. Event starts on 29th of september. I bought the car on 15th of september from a friend. With a dead 4cyl carb CA20 engine. Cars had to be in the padocks on 27th. But I could negotiate for late entry on early morning of 29th. So here I start. Day 1 September 15th Got the piece of shit car. Looked god on the outside. But the roof line by the windscreen rusted to shit. Seller f**ked me over on that;) Could probably negotiate a better deal if I knew about that. Really gay red interior. I wanted to leave it. But f**k it. Scraped it all of in the end. Day 2 September 16th Brought over some of the parts for the car. Powered by max hydro handbrake, fake bride seats, 3 diffs with different final gears, half shafts for spares. simple and brute. 9.5J ET15 chinese wheels. Got only 2 haha. Rest is 9j with 20 offset. Here is a good edition for the engine. Guys here are really sketchy about turbos. So its either garrett BB or hks or greddy. I don't have that moneys. So I went to a diesel truck turbo shop. And picked this baby up. Its genuine garrett GT3782R. Journal bearing. T4 devided AR1.0 on the hot side. Manufactured in shanghai garrett plant for some truck. Compressor: 58/82mm Turbine:74/64mm A bit similar to HKS GT3240 with T04S rear or GT37. Or even TD07S-25G. I bought it for USD550 which is f**king cheap. And it works good. Day 3 I didn't do shit to the car. Waiting for parts and playing around with friends rb25. Installing a truck turbo on his engine. No pics. http://www.56.com/u36/v_NjQzMDc4NzM.html http://player.56.com/v_NjQzMDc4NzM.swf http://www.56.com/u22/v_NjQzMDc4NTk.html http://player.56.com/v_NjQzMDc4NTk.swf

Zdorova ! Hey, fellow countryman !))) If you don't have access or money for bigger turbo or proper ecu or bigger injectors. Just go with rb26. RB26 will be better bang for the buck. You could have factory 350hp with it and don't worry about bigger AFMs or new injectors. Another option is to sell rb26 twin turbos and try to mate ur rb20det manifold with some 400hp turbo to it. So you could use factory EFI stuff. Will give you better response and more punch than factory twins. Your gearbox will handle it fine. Don't use a harsh clutch. Try to get a heavier pressure disk and use factory clutch disk. This will give you enough bite to handle the horses and still retain the driveability and slip enough not to break the box. Even if RB26 fails you can swap the engine block to some other rb25 and use rb26 head with all the EFI stuff. And still be able to use the rb26 power. Poor mans power forever !

Anyone ?))

Haven't posted here in awhile. My friend got a RB25 NEO engine in his C33 and he has constant troubles with the wiring and CAS. Wiring is so hacked up, so its easier just to replace it with another one. He got a Haltech r32 plugin from his old car. And I was thinking that we can switch to R33 loom and sensors and use haltech on his engine. The only problem I see is CAS. Since the its NEO and intake cam is a tad different. The way it connects to CAS is different to R33 RB25. I was thinking of several options: 1) Try to repair the NEO loom and wire a R33 ECU socket so Haltech could be connected. Another thing, would it be able to read ignition from NEO CAS ? 2) Replace whole engine loom with R33 one and use NEO CAS. Same as above, will Haltech recognize it ? 3) Replace whole engine loom with R33 one and use R33 CAS. Try to modify it to be used on NEO intake cam. Maybe the inside of the CAS, that connects to the cam can be swapped ? Anyone had done similar swaps ? Or has some kind of advice for me ? Thanks!

Dude, bosch 044 is like cheaper than nismo/hks/tomei pumps. Hunt for those. Or go hunt for old mercedes/audi bosch pumps. Modifying a car never was cheap.

Anyone got the R33 AAC valve working ? Can't get the engine to idle

Just done one like that. 1 - Use R33 S2 throttle body with your internals. 2 - Easier is just to get a r33 fuel rail and side feed injectors. Bolts in. 4 - Check R33 and R34 manuals for wiring. 6 - remove traction control. What good does it do ? Dash lamp will flash though.

So any news ?

Had my cable broken near the cluster too. Buy a new one. You need one

I've been in a couple of rb25s with speed signal wire cut. And they all behave strangely. The power is not the same. They don't have rev cut while driving. And they rev past 7k and make very frightening sound. Not the lovely revlimter-bounce. Hook up the speed signal.

Nissan EXA ? Wtf is that ?

Any educated guess on why is it doing so ? Why sometimes factory ecu copes with the upgrades and sometimes not ? rb25ecus are f**king freaks for sure. Some of them like going over 10psi, some of them don't, others do this shit. head hurts

Doesn't sometime stock fpr plays up after aftermarket fuel pump install and doesn't hold the pressure ? I often see raised pressure after fuel pump install. Like 3bar instead of factory 2.5bar at idle.

It shouldn't run too differently with different intake and stuff. Throttle body maybe. My rb25 could idle and run fine with greddy intake, bigger turbo on factory stuff.

Anyone fixed that ? What was wrong ?

I have the same problem but with cyl 5,6. Was working flawlessly until I decided to put battery back to its factory place. Can't make it run properly since. Tried afms, coils, igniter packs and ecus. All wiring is continus. I'm puzzled.
