As above plus save the money you are planning on mods to maintain the car, no doubt you will need new front and rear bars, lots of tyres etc

Dont get into the trap of constantly modifying stuff, Wait until you have oerfected sliding the car as is before chasing more power etc.

here she is

You'd probably want to lower it for better stability and handling for drifting.

Work on the Suspension / Braking / Tyres.

Power mods is not necessary if you are just starting out.

All should be good.

Why?

It would just f**k the roll centres going any lower than that

braking?! standard calipers would be fine.

Get it out to the track, fix shit you break and when you feel your ready for more power, or more lock then go for it.

Oh, a must have is a good, supportive seat it makes a world of difference.

Just get as much track time as possible, seems like it's a decent base to learn in already.

1000 times this.

Your car is pretty epic already, just get out there and rip some skids :D

Maybe invest in a gopro too so you can not only upload to youtube and show off your maaaaad skills, but you can watch your videos and see what you can improve on and maybe get other pro people to comment too.

That's just me.

Upgrade brakes to take a higher heat range and more response.

Each to their own.

And yes, a racing seat will make a difference.

most important mod = welded diff / 1.5 way or 2way

Negative, I learn't on an open diff. If anything it'll be better to learn with less. You'll then realise how things work/make it easier when you start adding parts to the car.

VLSD would be fine for now.

upgrading brakes is just a waste of money on a drift car, you won't have any issues with stock gear and half decent pads

get a decent seat, make sure the diff is locked and go drifting, you don't need anything else

dont get a gopro if you buy a camera as there shit :down:

.....

just lock the diff, drifting without a diff that locks it just a waste of time and it won't teach you anything

Fuuuuuu, you lucky bastard! hahaha.

Sounds like your car is good to go mate, you've ticked pretty much every box we've suggested.

Just get a fire extinguiser and I think that'll do it. needs to be at least 1kg and have a metal bracket then placed with in reach of the driver.

That clutch should do ok. I've got a Jim Berry Full Monty for sale if you want it pirate.gif

Speak to ISC-PERFORMANCE and get a set of n1 coil overs, rear camber arms, hicas lock bar, front caster rods, rear traction rods. Then just get used to the power you have now :) also a 2way diff is a must. Also make sure your handbrake is upto scratch.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
