how are you people? i was wondering what your thoughts would be on drifting a r33 non turbo with a completly std motor but going all out on the suspension lsd and so fourth?

has anyone done this i cant have a turbo because of the new restrictions in nsw thanks!

it would be a rb25de type s

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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
