IN my experience the 32 is just easier to slide lol, mind you anything is easier then the ae86 i drive now, i guess people use 32's more because, they're cheaper, more of them, more options in parts like body kits cos u know a kits inportant to drift with lol, but out of all the cars ive driven my top 3 easiest was, r32, r31 and S13 but even in saying that, it all depends on the setup and the type of driver you are.

Dunno if that helps but yeh.

what i dont get is how people dont drift them due to size and weight issues - its weird if the japanese think this aswell as they absolutely love cefiros, jzx100 etc etc

if a big old cefiro family car can slide well why not an r33...

btw great thread keep updating with pics/ vids

What about the JMS R33 drifter that became Mark Phillips ppg then martini drift car? That car was mental. I remember the first time i went to a drift event at Mallala I saw that 33 tearing up the main straight. That car was awsome

they were good times and dont forget port gawler lol

Ceffies and Jxz100s are both smaller and lighter than an R33.

The 33 does has plenty of potential though as shown by the pics/vids above

A chaser lighter than a 33..hmmmm.

lol all you guys that have experienced all the different chassis and models are lucky...

i ha ve to say r33 is easy to drift but thats comparing to my old cars, a vx with a spool and a volvo 360 glt..... the 33 was amazing haha

would love to try an s chassis if what everyone says is true..

i think the long wheel base makes it more fun

, My r33 is built for drifting, its got all the basics, 2-way diff, pinapples, 255kws,9point cusco saftey 21 cage, big fat rims 18x10's with phat offset..

I think r33's are good for drifting, its the way you drift, your style.

here are some videos of me drifting at winton.

and some photos

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
