Say Hello To My New Drift Pig (project)


Recommended Posts

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

That is not bad.Are you going to put a snail/turbo on it?

I'll probably leave at the end of September.

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

yeah cant seem to find decent rims and tyres for a good price here... im a deep dish kinda guy... and gettin from yahoo auction japan is still gonna cost lots to bring over here....

I've got something lined up in the very near future regarding that^^^... I hope I can really help out the Japanese import guys in Perth :D

great! i look forward to that day... hahaha

if the price is right i will be at your place every month or so...

can you line up some deep dish SSR or Watanabe or Work or any other old school rims in 15" and tyres to go with it....

i get a feeling im the only one in perth who likes these kind of rims...

i want my car to look like a kyusha or yanky style if you know what i mean....

Shodo: Yeah, I was thinking RB20 for a while, but unbalancing the car like that with a cast iron block doesn't sound right. If I have the cash, SR. If not... a CA18DET would be such an easy swap I could do it myself. I know what most people think of CA's, but I've always liked them so meh.

Mark: The R32 was sold to my younger brother. He wanted a new demo car for his shop as the old Mitsubishi Lancer wagon (Libero GT style) wasn't what he really wanted. I love that R32 but the situation was such that I couln't hang on to it any longer.

Totoro: "If the price is right"? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it ;) But in the meantime, I was originally going to deal in brand new gear only... the used parts business is barely worth doing these days... but I do have very good contacts for both new and used parts so I'm sure I can source anything at all. Just the larger stuff like body kits and exhausts etc will take alot longer and have a scary freight charge. If all goes well I'll be open for business out of my brothers shop TKO Tinting in Bentley (fingers crossed) as of the end of October.

Edit: Totoro PM me and we'll talk some more about the wheels/tyres

There's nothing wrong with CA's from what I read in the HPI build up of there car. made decent power without too much hassle :P

When you are changing engines more often than oil there is a problem :O

Can't you bring it in as a personal import?

ie. no GST, Import duties/ approval, etc...

You have to own a personal import for at least 12 months... I've only owned that Silvia for lees than 2 weeks. Besides, the paperwork for bringing a personal import in is twice as much, and evrything has to be translated into English... 15 year rule was much easier.

What model Enkeis are they Justin?  I've got the same on my DR30

They're called Enkei Racing S. They come in a wide variety of offsets and widths so the center spokes piece sometimes looks a little more flat/dished than others. Quite oldskool, I think they stopped being made around '93 or '94. They're not to be confused with Enkei Racing 'Peaks' which are basically the same design (2 piece wheel with little bolts all around the rim) but with only 5 spokes.

Enkei Racing S also came as a 1 piece wheel with black centers and red/blue anodized rims.

your headlights are worth more than the car!!! bonus!

So's the LSD!

So's the Tein HR's!

So's the Field fuel controller!

So's the AVS rim's!!!

I'd say all that gear together - plus the car - would make it's true market value to be about $2,000!!!

BAAAAAAH - GIN!!!

:lol:

omfg, $700!!!!.. I just started watching initial D on friday after hearing so much abour it, and the first thing that came to mind when I saw that s13 was the one in initial D. Great buy rezz. The r32 that I just brought in, it's rego sticker is the same, guess they both expire in febuary. Except I'm leaving the rego sticker there, looks cool IMO.... Hope I don't get done for it though... but anyway, congratulations :D

Thnks Rylan...

Btw I mentioned 'AVS rims' above there, but the pics don't show AVS rims so here are a couple of updated pix:

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
