ur questin is too vague, real question is how much $ u got.

i

cheapest bet is:

$1800 na s13 weld diff 2nd hand coilovers total = 2.5k max and its licenced for street.

dont do it in your R34 as it will just end up a real pig. start off with a real piece of crap and see how u go. if u wanna fork out a bit more get a turbo r32 skyline or sr20det s13 but ur looking closer to 4-6k. turbo is more power and easier sideways action, but also for a 4-6k turbo skyline/silvia i wouldnt put too much faith in it ie BOOM

yikes, should have bought my friends r32 rb25det few months back :) would u want it to be able to be driven on the street or for track only?

either way im sure you could easily find a nicely 'already modified' skyline, silvia, 180, or s14 for that much money all ready to go nothing more to pay (except tyres) :P

basically the way it should work for around 10k+ is the older the model the car the more modified it should be, ie an R32 or s13 for sale at 14k would have to be built or atleast have a big turbo slapped on the side with some good suspension, rims, ecu etc as opposed to an s14/s15 or r34 at 14k would be less modified or not modified at all.

you dont have to stick with nissan either, you can look at mazda rx7, toyota, people drift all sorts of cars, you cant really say this car is better than that one, some people say 4 door cars are better some say 2 doors.

its just personal choice

tho usually for a beginner you want to start off with something with just some good suspension setup an lsd diff and not crazy power

yea im not to keen on the r32's unless its a 4 door, this is my mums accout so shes the one wih the r34, i got a 33 but i was gonna drift that but its to clean and straight to do it in.

i think i would go with a 32, 33 or 34 4 door :)

RB25 Gearbox and jim berry clutch

6boost manifold GT3076 turbo + gate

800cc injector dynamics injectors off ebay (US)

PFC + Boost controller electronic then into shaun at allstar for a tune

Surge tank setup with bosh pump 040 and 044 + Braided fuel lines teflon

coilovers plus steering spacers hicas weld with welded diff ajustable upper rear arms...

E42 race fuel or bp98 if its a streeter

bahaha pete. most important is suspension setup and tyres.

s14, has better brakes and five stud. great platform for drifting once you drop in a 25 neo or VH45DE

Or a VK45DD OR a 1GZ-FE :thumbsup:

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
