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

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.

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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
