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

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
