The one thing i laugh about with drift is ppl spending money on a car so it has less grip then std? Why sped $3000 on coilovers to have less grip.

You don't buy coilovers to have "less grip". My car's suspension is set up pretty much as a "drive to work and weekend track car" (slight front toe out, rear toe in, slightly more front camber and caster), the only major difference being a slightly stiffer rear swaybar and not much rear camber to keep the tyres sitting flat.

Beginnners start of with low grip, but as the speeds increase, so does the need for grip on demand. My car was set up by a guy who specialises in racing Commodores. I reckon he'd know something about making cars grip.:D

I took it out to Wakefield in stock condition and drove it, and have done the same since with all "drift" mods installed. It goes four seconds faster, with only 0.1 bar more boost.

Its not a form of motorsport, its not tested against a stopwatch.

Neither is freestyle or vert skateboarding/wakeboarding/big air motorcross, and nobody seems to have a problem with that. :uh-huh:

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
