The only reason me and jez put a cage in his drifter is so passengers can enter but I highly recommend something to stiffen the car they flex a lot

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.

Yeah ile take it into consideration, i know my tiging skills are shit so i wont be welding it lol, ile just tac it with the mig and take it too a mate whos a pro welder, ile read all the guidelines for CAMS and see whats required. Thanks mate.

sweet man ill cya there, I'm usually floating around there somewhere. should take it to a test and tune pre jambo I'm there 90% of wednesday meets spectating so yer...

+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

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
