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 :)

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:

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
