ya.. haha im not fully sick.. i heel and toe everywher why not practice a technique that saves ur box and clutch.. better for balance too :nyaanyaa:

but anyway.. i like to have my legs straightish not fully but to a point if u catch my drift :lol: that was very tempting.

i like the weight of the sil.. but the steering is numb compared to the GTR.. :)

steering numb!!! steering should be shit loads better, since you only have half an engine up front.

sayin i havent slide in a silvia, i have been sliding in my brother SR20 laurel. Love the car and the engine. just the only thing is they just dont scream and complain enough, they sound to relaxed in there rev range....sr's are great to slide though. more initial spinning force then the rb20.

numb as in u need to turn the wheel more get lck stops.. with the GTR it was around one full turn wher as the 180 is like 1.7turns.. kinda shitty lol.

that and steering is soft and not as responsive.. the GTR was more planted..

my 180sx is also squatting a lil too much.. stupid teins..

ahh ok, thats because you have more lock in your 180...the steering circles in the r32's is teh gayness, but yeah i get yah, you'll get used to it.

lol man i started sliding on stock shocks...and stock sway bars, now thats interesting.

i have the N1's in atm...and the a street spec, so still no stiff enough for a drifting life, but go for the occasion that i do it now....but i need the hicas gone and some pineapples and thicker rear sway bar...the 17mm back there aint cutting it.

I sit in close. Partly because I'm not fully-sik. Partly because I'm 5'6 and can't reach the pedals...

I also sit reasonably close (not in view of the back window or at a level less than horizontal to the windows), I do this because I value control of the car and practical reach of the pedals....it does however lose me rep points and make me look less like a wannabe african american gangsta.....so unfortunate, it does look fulleh hektic when you're strechted right out.

damn, see i sit with the my seat as far back as it can go, and yet i still feel to close to the wheel, and im only around 6 foot :P

oh and hai :no:

Thats pretty bad dude.

mudcrab why are you heel and toeing when thats a racing technique....drifting aint racing so no need to do it.

Im sure most car gearboxs and clutches can handle the abuse, unless you have a piss weak box and a underrated clutch for the power your running and the traction your road tyres are producing. I doubt your using soft semi slicks or full slicks on your street car.

meh, why not heel-toe? It has no real downsides and it's better for general components of the car, new or not. Primarily though it helps prevent unnecessary wheel spin/lock or car imbalance and generally feels better (inertia wise) than the engine reving out to slow the car. Practice for track days is only an additional benifit. As for the "drifiting isn't racing" debate...well, we've already had a thread on that.

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
