Hixi's R33 Drift/track Project

[hixi126]

I don't really know, I havnt heard back from the guy I baught them off

Havnt touched the old 33 for a few days as I've just moved to ballarat

It got it's first big drive from albury to ballarat 450 km and didn't miss a beat

Looking into ideas for the wide rear end still do I buy a kit or flare

Anyways near future should bring answers

Are they a reliable setup

Stock rb25 on e85 300-350kw as reliable as it gets, easiest cheapest option. Go the 30 if you want moretorque but personally i cant fault mystock 25 with 320 in my drift car.

I was thinking that

I baught a set of 1000 cc injectors and was planning on tuning it to e85 and leaving it at that until it pops

In still building an engine but it but it will be done over the rest of the year so it won't destroy the pocket

Time to attempt the gaurd rolling today let's see how it goes

Ye thats best way drop a stock 25 in get the car going then take your time build whatever you want. E85 good tune , change oil after every track day it will last ages, mines been going for 2.5years so far on e85 and a year on 98 beforethat.

Note that that's not actual ride height I just popes the coilovers put to see how the wheel tucked

I think it will do for now after I toutch up the paint and il put a wide body on it when the cage is in and I repaing the shell

RHD have widened rear fenders, think from memory 1200 shipped but I might be wrong. Same as standard but flared. Look good. Think D Max also do a widened rear pair too.

1200 that's big coin you can get gtr style wide guards in melb for under 500

Really? Where from mate? Not doubting you , just interested for my own build! PM if you don't wanna post in here.

I'm guessing like anything cheap means lower quality

For for what Im doing that's all il need

Something that's relatively cheap also makes it Easyer on the pocket once

You brake it as if I broke a $1200 gaurd by kissing the wall my mrs would be chasing me down

the main straight with the tyre iron

Ah yeah I've seen those ones! I almost bought them a few months ago, but was unsure of how they'd line up, I'd they'd need filler, and lots of work to line up!

If you get them let us know how they fit!

[hixi126]

" lots of work"... Isn't that the definition of a skyline or any true proformance vehicle?

I recon il get them over the next few months they can't be that bad but il go to there warehouse and look

At them first

[gtsttrk]

Haha just saw your reply...few months later lol!

Did you en up getting these fitted? Or weren't they any good?

Guess what I was getting at with lots of work is that often by using cheaper parts lots of modification is needed to fit them. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a genuine 400r front, no modification was needed at all. Lined up on a dummy fit first time! So yeah, the price difference can be a big thing, but most times I'd rather spend the extra coin (if I can afford to) and reduce the labour/fitting times. In my opinion.
