hey guys i have heard some guy tell me he was able to maintain drift on 3rd gear in his s13 sylvia. How is this possible when he has pretty much the same amount of power i do. ~150rwkw. As i personally can only manage to hold drift in 2nd in the ceffy. Maybe its just my technique?

BTW if there is a thread somwhere on this pleas epoint me. Ill like to know.

remember that its not power that counts in drifting...

ur cars much heavier than an S13 and weight has a big part in it... plus what handling mods does he have?

suspension setup is integral also and plays a massive part.

yeah i know power hasnt much to do.. but ive seen him drift and he enters drift on the same part of the road that i do. Just im assuming he has picked up more speed.

yeah u have apoint in his suspension setup. Apparenlty hes got a very tight lsd setup on his with bushes and 3000 bux of coilovers (HA and dampener adjustable). Mines is a very loose compared to his(mech diff). thats what ive been thinking is the main diff.

How does weight play in this? Ive only been drifting seriuosly for like 4 months or so. So im still getting the theorise sorted out.

uve been drifting for longer than i have... i have only mucked around a little in my old 32... but nothing properly on a track.

but i do read a lot... weight is going to play a HUGE factor when comparing ur HP/KW... hes only 150kw but his car is about 100kgs lighter... this means he will be able to accelerate faster than u... his car will also have a lower center of gravity... better weight distribution... all playing a major factor in how well the car is able to go into a corner.

Yeah, I have read a few times 200kgs is about 30hp, not sure if its right or not but hey.

Id say diff, and suspension would help. Mines a bit easy to get the arse out at times. Like Im almost never trying to get it taily, and it just starts to kick out, fun but yeah, can draw attention.

ive drifted my old mr2 gt b4 and it was nutting compared to the ceffy.. It so tail happy. :Bang:

Still im gonna see if can hold drift in 3rd next time. As my rev limiter cuts out at 7200 on 2nd and holding at 80km/h. So hoping to get better drift on 3rd at say 100km/h on 3rd. I think abit more practice toi get used to the car is in order.

BTW thnax guys. I did forget the power weight equation. Yesh those s13s are much lighter.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
