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.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
