Say Hello To My New Drift Pig (project)


Recommended Posts

Here she is in all her bovine glory:

A$700 from Yahoo Japan auctions...

I guess a nice set of chromies and big lairy graphics are good for the genitally challenged, but you *know* a guy is *big* when he's got a brown interior in his car... ;)

I must be pretty well endowed! HOT DAMN IT'S A CA18DE!!!

... WORD.

Rear strut brace, 10 CD stacker, hight adjustable coilovers, Cusco 1-way LSD, and Field fuel controller were nice to find on board, but the Carozzeria speakers that light up blue, blue led bizness in the parking lights/reverse lights and other little nick-nacks will more than likely get binned.

**Anouncement**

If you wanna know why I bought it, it's because I wanted a challenge, and to break the 'teenage hoons drive S13' stereotype ;)

nice car... nicer price...

so you gonna stay in japan till you finish this project?

No not at all, in fact this one will be on a ship to Perth in 3 weeks or so... so you'll be able to check it out yourself ;)

The only things that I've got planned are some AVS 16x8J for the front, new tires and get the diff checked out... its a bit clunky.

great look forward to checking it out in person...

when are you gonna leave japan?

yeah nice rims will be good cos cant get crap all here in perth! plus stuff some tyres as well cos tyres are crappy here...

I'll probably leave at the end of September.

Why can't you get rims in Perth? Or tyres???

love it. love the 2 tone. i even like the wheels. manual silvia is very good buying at that money. was there any rego left on it when you bought it?

nice work mate. if you were to spend say $4000 on it you could have a nice SR20DET in there, and brakes, suspension etc all done for a grand total under $7000. noice. I'm guessing it's an 88 model?

We must be around the same age then :angry: as I liked the 2-tone too... and the brown interior is what I would call 'different' as opposed to 'OMFG why did ya do that MANG!"

Yes, rego expires in February next year... I tell you what if that car didnt have rego I wouldve wanted it for free. Paying car tax for that kind of car just goes beyond all logic, so the previous owner knew that its value is next to nothing here in Japan.

Yep, its an '88. Hello 15 year rule :)

nice work. if you see another one i am in like flyn! I have been keeping my eye out for a cheap silvia to convert into track car goodness.

I must say the brown does grow on you. it is good to see something different in the interior department.

I have always really liked the 2tone white silvias. will you get much cash back on the tax refund when you degreg it?

Sorry mate, I've got my hands full deregistering 2 cars as it is... not fun! But if I see something I'll let you know, but you'll need an agent here to do all the paperwork... extra $$$

will you get much cash back on the tax refund when you degreg it?

I don't know yet, but whatever I get it'll be the bare minimum.

yeah, for sure. sorry i didn't mean to imply that you would buy and freight forward for me! that would be nice though :(

it must be strange getting ready to make the move back to aus. i am sure you will miss japan. but i imagine it will be nice to be back in your native land.

off topic (sry to hijack rezz) but remembering that rezz is from perth, that bought sumthing forward from the back of my mind... is the JGTC still coming over to aus.....? heard the event was going to be held near Perth or sumthing.... anyone know anything?

No I don't think so. There were some negotiations I think, but nothing even remtely solid eventuated. The logistics will never add up for something like that to ever be held in WA.

The car is running good and the chassis is ok?

All this for 700 bucks?  :P

Yep! Thats right :) The car is running very well, I just had it checked over and all fluids changed today at SuperAutobacs 171 in Ikeda. The mechanics said that even the Cusco 1-way LSD is is good condition... just awesome. I think this is truely one of those rare times when an absolute BARGAIN comes along... ;)

That is a bargain.

What power output are we talking?

What power output are we talking?

We're talking 135hp (100kw) at the engine!!! For a 2-door FR coupe, thats just not cricket.

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
