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:

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
