Hi, im new here. I've been looking at this forum for a little while now and just now decided to sign up. I live on Okinawa, Japan. I know its kinda weird to be joining a Australian site, but i like this site. haha. I'm 18 years old, and love drifting. I've been drifting for 2 years. I've owned 4 cars so far. A silvia, hachi roku, and two skylines. Heres some pics of my most recent car. A 1993 Skyline R32 Gts-t 2 door, undergoing a RB25 swap. My old Rb20 crapped out on me. lol.

welcome mate

just out of curiosity, how much is your RB20->RB25 engine swap costing you in Yen?

The RB25 swap costed me 150,000 yen. So, around 1400ish in dollars. That includes the engine and everything. My japanese friend is helping me put it in, and hes the one that sold me the engine, harness, and computer. He just recently got his D1 license during the D1 Super Challenge in AutoPolice. He's flying to mainland on the 23rd of this month to compete in another competition. He has way too many cars. haha, he is using his back-up car for this upcomming competition (RB26 GTS-t R32) because his primary competition car wasn't ready in time (RB26 S15).

interesting... so I guess you're doing all the labour. I'm actually shopping around in the Chiba area for someone to do an engine swap on my car before it leaves for Australia. Trying to weigh up if its cheaper here or over there.

How many drift events do you guys have in a year on the island? How's the local talent compared to the mainland?

Hey niveL, I was wondering if you know anything about a company named Pitwork (Motul Pitwork?). I've got a few things in my engine bay with their logo on it. I've been searching on the net but haven't found anything useful

any info is appreciated

Pitwork is a large manufacturer of aftermarket oem style parts. They retail things in Australia as well.

funkey monkey, we have about one drift event every 3-4 months. Some are small Dry hops while others are really big ones. There is an ORC one on November 13th, which is supposed to be the biggest one of the year. People ship there cars from mainland to enter this one. The talent on Okinawa is high, not as high as mainland, but its getting there. You are seeing more and more Okinawans get their D1 License.

Man, 4 cars and you're 18?? :D and I thought 21 and owning a GTR was an achievement!

All the best on the car, keep us updated!!

Hehe foznice, I've considered it a few times already!! I figure I could work in a bar (im female) and earn some nice cash (not "hostessing"), and get to do all the motorsport I wanted to! There isn't alot of motorsport in Perth IMO. They seem to have less taxes and better wages in Japan from what i've heard! Parts for the R would certainly be cheaper *keeps dreaming*

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
