Hey guys,

I have been thinking about entering some drift events in my R33 lately but just wanted to know what they are like as a drift car.

I have previously drifted my old S13 Silvia which i found quite easy to slide around and transition as it didnt feel anywhere near as "bulky" as the R33 does.

So what are they like to slide? and is it worth me maybe just selling and buying an S13 instead?

Below is my setup - please let me know if you think this would be effective for a bit of fun:

- C's Short Shifter

- Pedders adjustable camber bushes

- Greddy FMIC

- Tein Superstreet Coilover suspension

- Whiteline heavy duty front and rear swaybars

- Whiteline Front Strut Brace

- Rear Strut Brace

- Apexi cold air induction

- 3in Xforce TBE

- Apexi Neo AFC

- Greddy EBC

- Work Emotion XC-8 Charcoal/Bronze 18in wheels with centre caps

- Bosch fuel pump

260rwhp (193rwkw)

Here are a couple of the very few jap drift videos i have found with R33's sliding for your entertainment :(

Cheers,

Steve

yeh just the standard viscous LSD at the moment - i might take it out and get it shimmed, that worked fairly well on my S13.

only other thing stopping me is this is a mint clean SII R33, almost seems like id be spoiling a nice car

Hey buddy looks like you've got some good suspension so my addvise would be just to shim your diff as id say you'll find the factory lsd a bit slopy, for my car I pulled the 0.8mm shim out and added a 1.49mm shim (I think from memory) which I baught from nissan and its a good tight diff but not quite locked. id say this would be your chepest option I see someone added some part numbers for shims here on skylines australia just do a search im sure you will find it.

    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP. 
    • People are going faster on CRS than AR1, so there's that 😕
    • Go the CRS, cheaper than the A052 and same if not better 1 lap performance when suspension is dialled for it. If wanting to do back to back laps the A052 and can cool off and go again next lap will be the better option. I have gone quicker over 1 lap with CRS than the A050 I came from but may be due to getting more seat time. I am driving CRS on the street lately in different conditions and its going well, a lot better than AR1 in the wet. AR1 is a race tyre, CRS is a Hill Climb/time attack/Sprint tyre. 2 different things, a slick is on the way too. The mighty gay mods choice of tyre is proper rubbish for those that actually drive on track not park at bunnings at night.
    • Seems to be a common issue, I had a look at two used tanks and both had similar cracks to mine. No one that does plastic welding near me seems to want to do it to a fuel tank lol
