alright so im thinking about buying a r31 but im not quite sure what i should be looking for??<BR>what im after is a cheap r31 that i can weld the diff and mabey do few mods so i can get into drifting at a beginers type level.If i was to buy a rb30de how much  work would i have to do to it to make it kick out sideways around corners with a boot of the clutch (make it driftable)? i wanna spend bout $2000 for a clean stocker but how cheap could i pick up a turbo r31 for ? cause if i could get one turboed for 4-5 grand i would rather buy one straight out than doing it all my self.<BR>and which model is the best thanks for any info

buy a stocker

lock the diff

then drift that simple

ive done it before for 200 bucks

but around the 500 should get you drifting

clutches are the pricy part if you get a good one you can go for ever

if its f**ked budget 250 bucks to kick arse

so 500 should have you at the track drifting

1500 if you cant weld 3k if your f**ked and dont know what a spanner is

Dual rear sway bars is a good cheap upgrade for drift if you can pick up a sway bar at the wreckers... 31 turbos can go for as low as $2500 I guess.... seen some really nice ones for 5k. Model doesn't matter much, the S3 looks "newer" and has the sexy hotplate rear lights but other than the auto trans not much changed between models, and obviously you'd want manual.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
