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?

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
