That's because everyone likes different cars and the feel of different cars... there are heps of cars that are good for drift man but it comes down to what the individual likes to drive and can drift better than anything else... that's why one person likes the 180 but another likes the S13...

Just my 2c.

Cheers,

Dave.

Erm, guys....

180SX = RPS13

Silvia = S13

They are the same chassis, clothed in different panels. Suspension, mechanicals, brakes, and some interior parts are IDENTICAL. One is equally as good as the other. Apart from some minor details, stock they should handle basically the same, and they make the same power.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

good point but i was just saying that it's another one of those personal preference issues... wasn't there something with the 180SX that changed it (can't remember what it was but HICAS comes to mind-that can't be it though... ne suggestions?)>>>???

let me change my question a bit.... if u were after a drift machine... what car would u go for based on control looks and power

HR31 GTS-R with a 2.4 bottom end, twin plate, Tein or JIC coilovers, a 2 way mechanical LSD, R33 brembos, fixed back recaro seat, and 16" RS watanabe rims.

"Hachi Roku" means: AE"86" Carolla Levin or Sprinter Trueno... theoretically, it could mean the whole line up of Carollas in that range, but all of them were quite dull compared to the Trueno/Levin.... so thats what people are referring to when they say "Hachi Roku".

Going by the abundance of S15s in the D1 Championship, I'd say they are the current fav drifter in Japan... just ask Uchii who is the D1 driver for DRFT who lives around the corner from me.

a 180sx handles different in the fact that the rear is heavier due to the glass hatch so the weight is more 50 50. Some say this makes it better for drifting. I personally like my rb powered s13 as the front is heavier and the rear is easier to keep out with the front still keeping grip. i've read in a few mags that they say the s14 is better for drifting and the s13 (being silvia and 180) suffers a bit of understeer.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
