Post Vids Of Rb25de Drift/race/track


Recommended Posts

Yeah it was kinda introduced half way throughout the day. We were told we'd need one for the afternoon but not the slalom. But there are trees and concrete barriers (which never used to be there) at the end of the slalom course now so I guess he wanted to be safe than sorry :P

Major fun though. Loved the whole day.

also suspension comes into a major role

my plans are reshim my lsd d2 coilovers rear camber arms front and rear strut braces and solid craddle bushes should be alot more better and easier than what it is now

and a kakimoto exhaust might free things up a bit because sum wise ass decides stock exhaust to the last flange at the muffler get a cannon, 10 mill industrial pipe two and a half into 2 inch !!!!!! not suffocating at all

what suspension mods have you performed jimmy?

Suspension is a cusco front strut brace, and TEIN Super-street coilovers. The coilovers were the best thing I did. And then I am running the GTS-t brakes and R200 diff aswell (apparently it was shimmed from the previous owner).

Luke - Your R34 is NA? That is one tuff NA 4dr. Love it.

I unfortunately don't have any videos, but I have a R33 GTS25 sedan that is used for circuit racing/hill climbs/ auto crosses and motokahnas, the relability of the car has been absolutely brilliant, it's done close on 240,000km now and is still going pretty well considering.

The only real gripes I have with the car is on the circuit it could certaily do with a bit more power on the straights, and in the motokahna events it's one hell of a big car to throw around when the cones are so close.

When taking part in ciruit events I can ususally finish in the first 33% of the field depending on the track, so with the right suspension mods the GTS25 can do fairly well.

    • He could just take the Bogan Cruise Ships setup... Already got a good setup, with blower, the auto was rebuilt too wasn't it? Perfect time for him to upgrade the tailshaft, diff, and axles...    And wouldn't need to waste money on redoing the Commos seats, as he could just buy race seats for the 5...   As a highly modded car he could avoid the ability to give it away to offspring too when they crash their cars...
    • It's really interesting how much it's moving left to right, and doesn't appear to be actually spreading. For this to be moving left to right, without flaring, means unequal forces being applied until equilibrium hits in one way or another.   Reasons it could be unequal; Piston sizes left to right are different sizes. Only minute differences. Pistons moving on different planes. That is, are they moving directly straight at each other, or slightly out of alignment. The fluid is restricted getting to one side.   Some tests you could do. Pull the bleeders on the left and right, fit each side with pressure gauges. It will allow you to make sure pressure is equal (and really, it should be as fluid flow is so damn low, so fluid flow dynamics shouldn't come into it).   With the calipers off the car, have both sides retracted as far as possible, measure very very accurately (think micrometre) distances between opposing pistons in four different spots per set of pistons. Firstly, on each opposing pistons pair, the measures on for different spots should be equal. If it's not, and especially if one spot appears to actually get closer compared to another, the pistons aren't aligned, and now the forces left to right won't be equal, as they're the forces fighting each other.   You can also pull all the pistons out, and very very accurately measure the diameter of them. If they're not equal left to ight in the pairings, and especially if the area of the pistons on one side is different to the area on the other overall, it'll all be out of whack.   My bet, is shit QC in making sure the pistons move in the same plane left vs right. Some minor out of square machining, and nothing will line up, things will want to move around.  
    • Whilst putting a V8 in a MX5 would be fun, it would negate the whole cheap to run fun daily that the MX5 will be used for If I wanted a faster little convertible I would have got a engine check light, I mean a BMW Z4 M, but going off the issues that the guy at work who recently got one is having, it is lucky I didn't  Meh, horses for courses, the Bogan Cruise Ship is my go to for some horse torques    
    • I reckon give him a few months, LSX swap would be good
    • Mark needs to get bored at work and order things on here...
