Hi guys, for a long time now ive been toying with the idea to build a drift car to hire out far a day, hopefully giving people who cant afford to build a car of their own the experience of driving a REAL drift car for more that 5 stupid laps of lala.

A few days ago I finally decided to look into the legal side of renting out my car, turns out all people have to do is sign a few forms and anyone can rent the car (so long as the tems and cond are met) and so began the build of an epic car.....

First was the choice of which car? s13? s14? r32? R33 ?????? fate decided for me by putting up for sale an R33 series 2, now unfortunatley in my excitement i forgot to take a few before shots but the car was MAGICAL,

it has miss matched paint, the battery must have exploded in the boot and left for a few years, the wing was snapped in half at some point and had repair attempts done with fiberglass, smelled like cats had lived in it and the engine refused to start. When I finally got it to fire it was running on 3 cylinders.......

what a beautiful car.......

And so with a swift kick to the nuts the project began, first was finding out why it ran like poo,

easy fix....

turns out a few coilpacks let go and the injector wiring loom had been chewed on by angry teenagers, replacement of both resulted in a purring motor

next removal of the wing and getting started on the boot, i forgot to take a before pic however Good ol simon smelled the acid and has survived just to state how awfull it really was, i can still taste the acid today, but here it is now!

not long after removal of cat pee seats and mould infected carpet took place and before i realised i should probably take some more pics the interior was burned in a pile at my yard

i then began to hide...i mean repair the rusty spots and prep for first coat, tar removal will take plaace once i know what cage will be going in.

after a while i got bored and drove to David and Kelly's shop to grab some goodies. For those of you who dont know them they run sleeka spares in adelaide, I picked out some gktech arms basically every one possible, caster camber you name it i got it! a hydro with the line kit, rack spacers and a few stickers didnt hurt

next was the planning stage, power levels! the fun stuff! I decided a modest 250rwkw would be very fun and still have the reliability to go out weekend after weekend, however im going over kill for 250 so that if needed i can bump it up to about 315 at the rears with no hassles.

with that i went out and purchased an Apexi PFC, 555cc injectors, GT35/40 that had been modified (not telling),

still on the shopping list is a cage, quick release steering wheel, high mount manifold, tial wastegate FF plenum and a 2 way diff

all the parts are on the floor and ill take photos as i start to install them, this car will hopefully be finished, tuned and track ready in one months time

Bit of a change in plans, speking to brenton from fours n more the 35/40 will just be too laggy on a 25 even with the modified rear housing so ive opted to purchase a turbo from a member here in SA, its a HKS 3037s with AM performance dump/front pipe, hopefully will be perfect for this application

Sweet project. Whats the deal with the projector headlights? It would be a shame to damage them during drift hint hint. Keen to sell maybe?

Hai lol the headlights are some kind of aftermarket thing and i think they give it a more uniqe look, and would like to keep them but for the right offer i guess everything is for sale :)

Nice work so far, great idea to by the way.

I had to do the same with my car in the boot. Was the biggest pain trying to clean the rust, prep and paint, all the fumes are terrible.

Thanks mate lol id like to say its impressive but its really nothing special just yet, big plans tho ... BIG plans...

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
