94 R33 GST-t price too high?
Driftn 180 replied to Blackness's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
its a bit too pricy i think, wouldnt pay more than 18-19 grand.its a series 1 aswell i think usaid. and u can get brand new tein coil cover suspension for $2200 or second hand for just over $1000. for a 94 model its too high. -
What to upgrade next ? (PowerFC ??)
Driftn 180 replied to benm's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
the pinging my friend is caused by you using shit ass fuel(96ron vortex stuff), you shouldnt push more than 8 psi with that fuel, you need at least 98 ron fuel so your motor dont ping, use 98ron if you want to push 12 psi, that will solv your problem, not a power fc. *in most cases you cannot even hear the car when it pings, it is in the worst when you can actually hear a clutter coming out of the motor, that is extreeme pinging....very dangerous to the life of the motor. -
used to drift in fwd in my old car, had 50kw@wheels, just pick up the handbrake at 50-60 km/h and step on the gas, and just counter-steer....preety good in the wet as you dont leave flat spots on your tyres, but more interesting in the dry....wouldnt recomend it around bends, just straight road. to ass to this thread, 4wd drift has been used way back.....just look at the rally, that is all drift. *when someone asks what drift is, best said that its like rally driving except on a cirquit.

removing rear seats illegal?
Driftn 180 replied to Tonkotsu Flavour's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
kabab i think is correct, if you have registered as a 4 seater then you have to have 4 seats, but when registering again u must specify that its a 2 seater.......if thats even possible for an import im not sure. -

Driftn 180 replied to hawks's topic in General Automotive Discussion
getting slightly more family like, but im sure it will look much better when in front of you, or flying right past you lowered with bigger rims. -
mayb racing on half throttle, lol. probably NOS.

try Hardcore Racing on (07)32994344. they are good tuners and not pricy, also the only place in brisbane that tunes Chiptorque Chips. friend of mine up there got his vl tuned, says they r good.
-
of course man! but thats as far as it goes. might need rolled guards, my friend's r32 had 275 without rolled guards, wasnt bad either.

not a bad budget dood for a zorst and intercooler. depends if u want jap brand or custom made here. new stuff like apexi or trust for the r33 i think r a cat back 3" system r about $1300, then you got a 3" hi-flow cat which is about $300, then a apexi 3" front pipe which is about $550, about $2100(all fitted). this is all preety expensive brand new, but second hand, right from the turbo back like trust or apexi your looking about $1000-1200. something custom made here, a 3" off the turbo with a nice polished muffler, stainless steel right through, about $1500-2200 i think (fitted), im guessing less if not fitted. try www.japanesemotorsport.com.au for second hand parts, they deliver OZ wide. for the intercooler, well you might need a bigger budget if you want new from brands like trust or apexi. but second hand from them for a descent size like 600 x 300 with piping should be about $1500-$2500. if your on a budget, then id say go for a second hand GTR intercooler which is rated at 450hp, its 600 x 300 x 65, so its big enough, they are about $500-$700 bucks, then you have to go to a shop to make up the piping for you, mild steel is about 200 bucks or $300 bucks fitted(rough estimate), a bit more for aluminium, a better choice since this dont rust, plus looks a lot better. if i were you, id buy a new cat back 3" exaust from apexi or trust for $1300, then go to an exaust place like Austalias best or liverpool exuast to get a new 3" hi-flow cat and a custom made 3" stainless steel front pipe. this should be about another 500 bucks, so $1800 (fitted)for the exaust.im sure it will be a bit cheaper if they are not fitting it for you. since you have a budget of 3 grand, that leaves 1200 for the intercooler. i guess then id go for the second hand R33 GTR intercooler, try japanese motorsport or a wrecker for this, dont pay more than 700 for it, because they go for about 200 bucks in japan for a good condition one, then go to a place where they make intercooler piping and hoses, all this should be about $1000 bucks (fitted), again depending on how much you get the cooler for and what piping. that = to about $2800 i think. this is from my point of view, but do a little research b4 you buy. also remember that prices vary from shop to shop.

Congratulations to Mario Torbarac and Andrej Pavicevic. Mario's R33 'GTR700' ran 8.99 at 160mph (1.42 60 foot) the car then backed that up with an 8.96 at 158mph (1.357 60 foot). After transport problems on the way down to Heathcote Park, the guys were able to get the car down the 1/4 mile early this morning. Its about time a GTR in Oz ran into the 8's!

ill be seeing it 2morow nite, didnt mind the first one, love the fantasy thing and story of it all.

i found that you dont need to setup any car, just go to arcade mode, choose lets say the track "trial mountain" and pick the supra RZ, and remember to turn OFF the traction control and anti-spin bullshit in the options. The supra can tail it out preety well in stock form, the track is preety good aswell.
