R34 Sedan Drifter

[32vspecII]

im thinking of building a r34 sedan drifter

how good does the 34 drift ? will i just get my ass handed to me by some p plater punk in a s13 or 86 ? it seems a little on the large heavy side , am i better off with something smaller lighter and cheaper perhaps ?

thanks

depends i guess... i hear dat 4door cars have a better balance

but ultimately its its how gud da driver is

altho u cud go 4 a cheaper 4door a31/c33/r32

Ken Nomura used to drift the Blitz R34 sedan pretty well.

Very well mate , nice balanced car if setup properly i know from experience - my car has a nismo diff - most suspension parts are aftermarket and full adjustable - and just minor other modification - well every time I kick the car out the car handles very well,smooth and balance and doesnt feel like it strugeling im so impress with the car. Thats my input

awesome!

ill have to have a serious think about 32 or 34 sedan

have come across a good manual 34 , which we all know are rare as , for a decent price so I might try and make the drift budget go further

now how much for a rb26 conversion I wonder

I own a 32 4dr.

WOuld rather a 34 4dr. Just more power and looks beter.

My opinion of course.

Don't get me wrong i love my 32 4dr. I just want a change soon.

LOL. By change I mean more power and alot better suspension.

Good luck with it all mate.

Oh and a 26 would set u back a bit i think.

NEO RB25 owns RB20... A major point to consider. Gearbox as well

I would love to see it "Own" my RB20 Ceffy around the track.

34 sedan is very HEAVY and about the only thing nomukens 34 shares with a road one is the body shell and chassis.

The point is that the RB25 engine and box is a much better starting point than an RB20. The extra torque would more than compensate for the added weight.

They seem to more than hold their own club level events in Japan as well, along with C34/C35 Laurels, Cima's, Aristo's and the list goes on. Night Walkers JZX100 campaigned in D1 for over 2 years at close to 1600kg which is HEAVIER than stock.... Weight isn't the be all and end all.

haha then obviously you havent seen his D1 Street Legal Car....

4 doors are big heavy, slow, and do not stop when u want them to..... especially the 34... i asked the monkey man why he chooses to drift the 34 and he simply said "im small and i like BIG cars" haha he added "but the car took alot of work and money to get it to a competitive level".

alot of weight means you need alot of power. BIGger brakes, and a higher springrate are also things to consider.

the 32 is just a 2door with two more doors and a little xtra weight, i love them but they hardly qualify as a Sedan....
