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:

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
