Hey all im new to the RWD side of the car, iv owned afew rwd in the past but most of my past rides have been hondas

atm my current ride is a 1992 honda prelude f22

i got this car about 18months ago as nothing but i shell and managed to rebuild in to what it is today

afw mods i have on the car are,

body kit

shaved boot lid

halo head lights

clear tail lights adj sleeved springs

the motor is an stock f22 but as we speak i have a new f22 being built for it. its a fully forged 2.2ltr with a stage 2 turbo cam, upgraded springs, vavles, retainers, and guides ect ect

its runninf twin walbro 255s with nos and a t04e good for about 600hp all running off a hondata

with a little luck once i got the new motor in i would be happy if i can manage 350-400hp atw @ 15-20psi

here a few pics of what i started with to where i am now

now i know some of you are prob wondering WTF is this guy banging on about? this is a nissan spot not a honda spot......

well over the next few weeks im going to be on the hunt for an R34 shell to start on and do it all over again, and would reall be greatful

for any advide you lads can give me or questions i might have,

the plan is to build a proper drift spec 34 that will get used and not just sit there and look good parked up.

so i guess the first question i have is.........

is there anything i should be aware of or be on the look out for while looking for a shell, parts or even suggestions on what parts to use that wont shit its self after one run.

and befor anyone ask, yes i do understand this is not going to be a cheap project...........(just dont tell my misses, she thinks the turbo for my honda is part of the aircon lol)

thank any help would be great

Have you drifted before?

If not I'd be getting a cheap R32 thats already running with a RB25 in it, (Or just get an R33 GTSt since theyre just as cheap but newer) add a FMIC, Oil Cooler and steel wheeled turbo, weld the diff up and go and learn to drift in it.

You are very likely to keep bending things, and the cost to build a car from shell/rolling chassis most of the time is more expensive then buying individual parts.

It's why a lot of guys are parting out their R33s as they are getting more money for them in parts. Plus if you decide you want to put in a new part, you've got the old one to either sell, or keep as a spare (What I recommend) for if/when it breaks.

yeah i have drifted befor, its been a few years, but my last drift car was a vt gts 5.7lt 6spd man with a charger but i dont plan on doing this over night its just going to be over time and the way i see it, if i smash a 32 or a 33 its still going to have to be fixed if it were a 34, and on the plus side i know a thing or two about doing body work on cars, i used to work for a body kit shop doing alot of repairs on drift damage and also build wide bodys

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
