hi guys, i took my r32 gtst on the track for a bit of fun with some mates. we were just having a grib race but after they started drifting. i joined in to see what my car can do but it was all over the place. the only drive train mods the car has is height adjustable coilovers all round and big front brakes. it still has hicas which i plan to install lock out bar because i have heard hicas is death when drifting. i was just wondering what people use from steering knuckles, front wheel camber degrees. also with the lockout bar i heard i need to use a r33 power steering pump or something like that. i am not trying to make a crazy drift car, i just want some that can hold a drift while still been easy to drive on the street.

on another note, the steering is very heavy which was one of the factors in my epic spin outs, could that be caused by the power steering pump is faulty?

There are quite a few threads around, even some recent ones, talking about heavy steering (and unresponsive steering which is a different issue) and all the possible causes.

There are also threads about modifying LCAs and knuckles and stuff for drifting.

There are 5 hundred bajillion threads about locking out HICAS and what you do and do not have to do (and changing the PS pump is one of those things that you DO NOT have to do, unless you want to).

I suggest you do some search and read. Use google to search the forums too. Much better.

Hicas lock bar, a locking diff and a good clutch is all you need for drifting. Standard R32 lock is more than enough for you at the moment. It's not until you are hitting lock stops every time that you need to worry about that.

Changing to R33 power steering pump is not required. There is a tutorial on here somewhere that shows you how to do everything.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
