Na Drifters

[Caza]

hey just wondering if there is any na drifters out there... i just started last year using my r32 gts and so far seems to be going well, love going to willowbank

I have a friend who has been building a car - an R31 Skyline, Rb30E 5spd. He uses coilovers from an s13 and some steering control arms etc from an S13 aswell. Trying to track down a stiffer rear swaybar.

Car runs extractors from the wreckers and a 2.5" exhaust, autobarn heavy duty clutch, Pod with CAI, new leads and plugs. Diff is a weld job, is the only dodgy part.

Was a cheap car to build (about$2k, its no D1 car but its tidy and registered) and makes enough power. Should be taking it out soon hey.

sounds sweet, has he finished it?

completely stock rb30e apart from extractors, exhaust and a pod filter, never misses a beat

exedy hd clutch, minispooled 3.9 diff

s13 front coilover conversion with jic 9kg fronts, s13 tie rod adapters, adjustable castor rods

rear is s13 7kg teins with cusco hr31 top hats (bolt in perfect then)

whiteline swaybars front and back, and adjustable panhard rod

got some r32 front brakes on for good measure

heaps of other small shit, but its certainly not a bad car to slide considering how much it cost. i drive it every day too

non turbos great for archerfeild, will be going there again this wed. it struggles at QR though, but its all about the clutch kick

[racsov500]

some sliding pics

rb30s are pretty good drift motors mainly because they are cheap as, but also because they have great midrange. unlike a rb20 you can rev it to 3k and drop the clutch and get wheelspin. only shit bit is they have no top end, dont rev hard and have a gay limiter

nice work guys.

nick, i agree QR is a very power demanding track. even for circuit work you need a fair bit of power to push through the corners.

i do a little bit of motorkhana stuff and i agree the clutch does cop a fair bit of abuse, but contrary to what everyone says about having buckets of power to 'powerslide' a corner, i have found suspension setup and technique is more important.

Chance over at Team GirlDori has been drifting her N/A SR20DE S13 for a couple of years now.

[GTS4WD]

I been pondering about selling my GTS4 and buying a boro S13 for drift/girp application..

I care too much about my gts4 to take the risk of tire walls etc. etc. etc. So I ifugre.. if I dont care so much about it.. I could go balls to the wall..

Any idea?.. should I take the leap?

[UNR33L]

i do what i can with an auto n/a 33.. im so considering selling to get a manual of something.. so much better but ill lose so much money.

only mods on my car are extractors, 2.25" exhaust, pod and working on my CAI, need an LSD :< and some better springs its like a boat atm

[runnin4life]

why not just do a manual conversion on ur current car ... cant loose much money doing that

[UNR33L]

yeh thinking about it

[inthisglass]

i have found recently that when my tires are in their current state i can drift really quite well.

and chirp 3rd

[dori34]

^ meaining very bald? haha

[funkymonkey]

on belts, can chirp.

[Eug]

i spin 255s

[evil_weevil]

racsov500 - after looking at those photos....you have given me bad thoughts for my R31.....

dam you!!

[inthisglass]

they are 235's and not on belts but they resemble some sort of home made drag slick.

i should really replace them but.. im poor

try to make tyres a priority... they are the only thing keeping you on the road regardless of how much/little power you make. federal 595 is a well priced good performing tyre, check em out.

Can't be that cheap though. I've been spinning up my 285s, and now my bank balance is emo.

NA FTW.
