It's not a easy job even for a skilled fabricator I'm just lucky and brad shows me the secrets and the extra skills I'm still learning but I'm learning from the best. Now iv seen the way brad goes about the job I would never do one without propper equipment again. To be honest if your fab skills arnt that good I suggest paying someone it could save your life think of it that way plus if there is a cage in the car people will look at it. If you need any help with fab stuff send me a pm and I'll help you out as much as I can.

+1 for getting the cage rigged up by someone that knows there s#it could be the difference between you wrecking the car and wrecking other things :P

Dude iv played with cars you could dream about I'm not a moron. It sure does but your building a drift car not a time attack car you don't need half the shit your buying chances are the things you replace will cause more to break. If I was building a drift car I would. Kando turbo, nismo injectors, PFC or nistune, decent cooler, e85 and a good cooling system then spend the rest of my 10 g on making it handle and safe then start saving for spares

Tht sounds exactly like a drift car i know :D

I built a full car from a

Rolling shell for around 6.5k that includes buying a motor a box, turbo, clutch, nismo inj, z32, kando turbo on ebay manifold, bsa built the exhaust and cage for it, i tuned it on E85. All u need is coilovers and a shimmed diff and u will mince tyres.

I have learnt over the years what u need and what u think u have to sped money on to hang with the cool kids.

My old drift silvia had everything, all custom knickles etc etc, spent shit loads, this 32 drifter i have now out handles it with just coilovers and steering spacers.

well ive already been drifting in it for a few years with just a rb20- then too the 25, just with a nismo 2 way, tein coilovers and the microtech. I feel ive got the car at its limit with the current mods, so im going too the extreme with it and see how deep the rabbit hole goes lol

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
