Yeah it has done quiet well. Especially the engines. some DA drivers are now using the LS1 and 2.

Although maybe one of the many reasons they are is because it will appeal to the Australian audience more

I guess what sometimes puts people off is not necessarily the car, but the hype that surrounds it. The Holden bandwagon, if you get what I mean.

Same goes for some people's opinion of Skylines.

Rotaries.

4 cylinders.

Etc.

One of the main reasons they remove RB's, 2JZ's etc is because LS1's are a lot lighter. Alloy block compared to a iron block.

Like the DLS R34 drift car, took out the RB25 Neo, chucked in the LS1, saved 50kg!!! Slapped some twin turbo's on it and you got a hell of a power to weight ratio over the stock engine setup.

lol right never seen one perform better in anything other than commo

Japanese cars with original Japanese motor always out perform the Japanese cars with ls1's etc fitted

kudas S13 with ls1 gets close but Im still not sold on it

are you kidding have you seen it ?

power and torque do not make a drift car

speed,balance and driver skill do

ever seen a d1 ae86?

heres a link to a vid with D1 r34 with rb26 t04z watch it and try tell me that the GT Autosound car has the same balance at the moment

what do you mean by 'balance' exactly? if you mean overall performance, the GT autosound car might need a few tweaks, but they are things that can be ironed out. an RB26 with a to4z would be nice but i cant see it being comparable to a TT LS1. more power, more toque, probly a more 'driveable' car on the track if that makes sense. not to mention the bonus of reliabilty.... :P

Once they ironed out the problems I'll compare again

until then LS1 being a better engine than those factory fitted is unproven regardless of extra power, reliability etc if it doesnt drift well what does it

matter if it makes more power than a rb or is more reliable

(Im including all rb's as basically being the same balance split wise front to rear although a 26 would weigh more than a 25 if it still had the standard twins)

by balance I mean the whole car working in unison not just a car that makes big power so must be sick yo

in a well balanced drift car the drivers can through the car in much harder and get back on the power much sooner than those with poor balance

skylines are well know for mid drift midcorner understeer Im yet to see how a Ls1 which "weighs less" than a rb has helped at all with this

you still see alittle in the Kakimoto 34 above and its been competing for awhile so all the bugs should be ironed out of it

from all that Ive seen of the Gt Autosound car(and Ive seen a fair bit) it's a corner exit smoke machine

1400R hits the nail on the head! The GT autosound car isnt a good set up atm as the driver doesnt have anywhere NEAR the skill required to use all of the power to its full potential.. all ive seen from that thing is straight line smoke ups and corner exits.. its lame. Then theres the reliability issues!! Its had a few issues thats for sure.

my RB has had none :P

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
