i know if i pull something the gtr becomes rear wheel so does that mean i can drift and how good does a gtr drift compare to a silvia because i have all those mods like oil cooler , suspension and roll cage that i dont want to go to waste when changing cars so i hope i can keep my gtr and drift as well

thanks

R32 GTRs weigh 1470kg, as opposed to a Silvia which is 1100kg from memory. Whilst the suspension and general design of the chassis of these vehicles is very similar, the Silvia is a much better choice for drifting due to the light weight and easy induced oversteer behaviour. For circuit racing however, its a whole different kettle of fish, when ATTESA is introduced.

This is not to say that you cant use a GTR for drift, it just isnt its ideal use. Much better than a HSV anyday...

R32 GTRs can just have the fuse pulled for slip and slide, not so easy in R33s however.

32 GTR is just a matter of pulling a fuse or setting up a switch in cabin

33 GTR i am not 100% sure but i think the later ones need the shaft pulled out

In a 32 GTR yes u can pull the fuse to get it into rwd mode, but if u intend to drive all day in rwd mode u need to take the front shaft out otherwise u will burn out the transfer case.

r32 takes 2 fuses to get into RWD, 1 under bonnet 1 in cabin... you can also get it into rear wheel drive by turning the car off and then on again while moving.... but as soon as you come to a complete stop the 4WD will re-engage.... by the way when you do both of these you also disable the ABS... :rofl: a fun and happy drifting...

Its because the GTRs 4wd ATTESA system is electronically controlled. When the computer senses the rears loose traction it can send up to half the torque to the fronts. If you remove the fuse or install an inline switch etc, it will become rear driven only.

Some1 tell me tho, how hard is drift on a GTRs CVs? Because we all know how cheap our jap parts are...

^ I made that all up. But i think its close... ^

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
