I have an n/a rb25 de cefiro with teins and lsd yes it is possible.

a mechanical diff would make it easier it drift ok remeber the ae 86's are n/a I'm a great believer that suspension is more important than power when drifting

cheers

agree with meggala... but power does make it easier unless your willing to commit to the corner.

i've attempted a few "powerslides" with clutch popping - can't say is the healthiest thing...

take note that 33's are heavier than the 86.

you could do it. i used to have an old R31. it was only a single spinner diff, and my spare tyre was a rock hard compound. when i wanted some sideways action, i put that tyre on the driving wheel, and drifto!

the R33 gts coupes aren't that heavy, about 1300kg (i think). with the suspension and diff you have, just put some really sh1t tyres on the rear and hang on! some basic power increase mods would be good as well, like a pod and an exhaust.

it is possible ive got a mate who drives an NA silvia with shitloads of suspension work done and he can drift aswell as a turbo car...

as Eug said you just have to commit yourself to the corner and use proper technique rather than just power on mid corner and hang the tail out as i have seen some people do.

i drive a turbo R32 and the power just makes it easier to hold the tail out.

but it is very feasible to make an NA car drift well.

good luck

Nah their not heavy at all mines only at 1150Kg according to my rego.

your rego is wrong :(

unless you have the model with the RB20E?? doubt it would make 170kg difference though.

they weigh 1320kg stock. i have had this confirmed on a weighbridge.

you can definitely drift a n/a in the wet (or so i'm told...), as for the dry i'm not game to try it on the roads and haven't found time to take it to the track.

My partner can make our whale drift, much to my surprise, on dry roads too, scared the crap out of me (boys will be boys!! :P ). I didn't think it would of had the power to drift, although it has had quite a bit of suspension work done, a button clutch, LSD added, and making 112rwkw.

Were you planning on learning to drift with this car, or trying to compete with it?

If you're only trying to learn and maybe run in some low level comps, then you can "drift" anything. I used to get my old Volvo sideways, and that thing was a dead stock auto.

They weren't the most elegant drifts and I wouldn't try linking all of Wakefield Park together in it, but for the EC skid circuit (I haven't been out to Driftland yet so I can't say) it would have been fine wet or dry.

It certainly taught me the basics of countersteering, and balancing the car on the throttle / brakes.

If you wanted to get into some serious competition events you may want more power and torque than what a stock RB25DE is going to offer you.

I used to drift mine everywhere, uge can back this up wet or dry, and as he said you had to comit to the corner, alot harder in an underpowered car but more then possible..

The original diff was the best... till i smashed it, and none have since compared... the last 3 have been turbo ones but they didnt lock up as well as the original... i now have a nismo 1.5way mechanical.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
