What do you guys think of an MZ20 Soarer (with the 7M-GTE) as a drift car for starting out?....

Considering I'm still young, I think it would be a good idea to sell the GTR and get something a lil cheaper that i can throw around at events without having to worry too much about my wallet exploding in pain if something goes wrong (as apposed to a GTR)

This would also give me a good chance to get on top of debt (clear it all out) and save for a unit etc....

I was thinking about this all yesterday, I like the look of the MZ20 and it's cheap and simple but is it suitable to use as a drift car?..... I won't be drifting it 24/7 and I realise that ANY car can be drifted when set-up proberly but i think you get the idea of what I'm asking....

OPINIONS PLEASE???

Cheers.

Dave.

My friend owns a 7M-GTE MZ20 soarer, it's a great looking machine.

The one draw back about the MZ, is that it's an Auto, you'd be very hard pressed to find a manual unless you were going to do a conversion.

On the plus side, it's exactly the same chassis as the MA70 Supra (mark 3) but it's a little lighter. and it's very well balanced.

As a drifter it can be done, but as you said it has to be setup correctly.

Thanks Endorean, yeah, I'd be sitting back patiently till a manual came along....

As long as the car is classed as something that could be used for drift I'd consider but if people had good reason to say definately not then I'd consider a cefiro etc....

How would you compare a soarer to a cefiro?....

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
