EVOIV, the R32 is lighter than a sil??? Wtf? The engine weigh's like 200kg's more over the front end in the R32 doesnt it ?(i think it does anywayz....), which = major understeer.

I've got a heavily modded sil man, and to be honest, it is soooo easy to get sideways with a one second pop of the clutch. And controlling it and holding out the drift isnt too hard either.

But hopefully i'll be getting some coilovers soon aswell too make my sliding experience more enjoyable.

Most ppl talk the talk but do not walk the walk, as with dorifting/powersliding, and u will not learn unless u run ur car off the road a few times. I do not claim tio be able to dorfit as i cannot connect corners yet but i have mates who 'claim' they can.

Half of these ppl dont even push their car!! My advice? Push it hard but enjoy it at the same time, you have to fail before you can succseed!

Anywayz..i know some ppl who have been importing sils just for track use for dorifting, you could pick one up form Japan modded for 4k if ur know here u are looking.

Hmmmm,,,Dman thinks he should get another car for weekend driving..Muahahahaha

An AE86 would be an even better chioce for controlled dorift :)

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      By PranK · Posted

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Anyone know what this front bar is for series 1 R33??

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....

      Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
