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

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
