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

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....

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out

      OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
