Setting up my R33gts-t for drifting, basically wondering if anyone people could give me some input, maybe you have set yours up for drift suspension wise, an can talk about your setup. Wat you think should be done next? Going to get myself a hicas lock bar. Been looking into tie rod ends to get more lock out of steering, however havent located R33 ones yet does anyone know if R32 ones are suitable for R33. What suspension would you go for Konis/ Blistein/ Tein or maybe something else, i want to be able to rebuild them if necessary, (heard a place in queensland will rebuild tein :Bang:) looking into blistein an koni cos i got some mates who got some pretty good contacts with thoughs companies.

Current setup

-Rear adjustabble whiteline swaybar (22mm on hardest setting)

-Rear cusco strut brace

-Front whiteline swaybar (24mm)

-Front GTR stru brace

-Cusco castor rods (positive 6 degrees castor)

-Car came with lowered springs (suspension should be next)

Cheers Tim

good set of adjustable coilovers....either tein or cusco or juc...there heaps of brands, I think even whiteline make some, with some pillow ball upper mounts. I have tein HA's and there rather stiff, good for drift!

Floor brace an roll cage will make the car even more rigid.

Nismo 2-way mechanical diff would be a nice addition

set of pineapple bushes for the K frame, an better g/box mount

better clutch ready to take a pounding

camber kits for the front arms, better camber kits for the rear (with more adjustment)

215 width tyres on 9inch wide rims an a Nardi steering whell an your set :D

:D

thanks abcent

i already got a 2way mechanical, tomei its very nice. I got some uras pineapples in there as well, heavy duty clutch, got momo steering wheel, an 3 sets of stock rims. Yeah tein been proven so thats a pretty good option just heard no one will rebuild in melb. heard of very few cars running koni or blistein, they would be a better option for me due to a few people i know may be able to get cost right down and rebuilderble. Yeah would definately be up for a floor brace had trouble locating one second hand, roll cage would be nice but dont really want a bolt in cage would like a fully engineered one $$$$ pretty exspensive. But know one can answer weather r32 an r33 tie rod ends a compatible???

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?

      You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.

      The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
