im thinking of building a r34 sedan drifter

how good does the 34 drift ? will i just get my ass handed to me by some p plater punk in a s13 or 86 ? it seems a little on the large heavy side , am i better off with something smaller lighter and cheaper perhaps ?

thanks

Very well mate , nice balanced car if setup properly i know from experience - my car has a nismo diff - most suspension parts are aftermarket and full adjustable - and just minor other modification - well every time I kick the car out the car handles very well,smooth and balance and doesnt feel like it strugeling im so impress with the car. Thats my input :)

awesome!

ill have to have a serious think about 32 or 34 sedan

have come across a good manual 34 , which we all know are rare as , for a decent price so I might try and make the drift budget go further

now how much for a rb26 conversion I wonder

Edited by arkon

I own a 32 4dr.

WOuld rather a 34 4dr. Just more power and looks beter.

My opinion of course.

Don't get me wrong i love my 32 4dr. I just want a change soon.

LOL. By change I mean more power and alot better suspension.

Good luck with it all mate.

Oh and a 26 would set u back a bit i think.

The point is that the RB25 engine and box is a much better starting point than an RB20. The extra torque would more than compensate for the added weight.

They seem to more than hold their own club level events in Japan as well, along with C34/C35 Laurels, Cima's, Aristo's and the list goes on. Night Walkers JZX100 campaigned in D1 for over 2 years at close to 1600kg which is HEAVIER than stock.... Weight isn't the be all and end all.

I would love to see it "Own" my RB20 Ceffy around the track.

34 sedan is very HEAVY and about the only thing nomukens 34 shares with a road one is the body shell and chassis.

haha then obviously you havent seen his D1 Street Legal Car....

4 doors are big heavy, slow, and do not stop when u want them to..... especially the 34... i asked the monkey man why he chooses to drift the 34 and he simply said "im small and i like BIG cars" haha he added "but the car took alot of work and money to get it to a competitive level".

alot of weight means you need alot of power. BIGger brakes, and a higher springrate are also things to consider.

the 32 is just a 2door with two more doors and a little xtra weight, i love them but they hardly qualify as a Sedan....

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
