My next car is going to be set up with full drift suspension.. as my rx7 drifted well but was always too soft... so anyway how does this all sound?

Fully adjustable coil overs with Koni inserts 8.0 Kgcm spring rate

Front and rear upgraded bars

New bushes throughout

Adjustable Castor rods

Adjustable Camber tops

Strut brace in engine bay

any one got any idea's and opinions on their on personal drift set ups... like camber and castor.. which is more important for drift?

Hey Simon,you should know most of that stuff anyway.

Hmmm,have you seen the light and buying a NISSAN? :burnout: :lol:

Ive setup my car for the hills but aint much different for drift except the arse end.I went to a coilover setup with all the bushes and stab. bars and damn its changed my cars handling.I was chasing Danny(u know who) through (u know where) going at a pace i just couldnt get my arse out as wide and for as long cause of new 255 rears hooking up at that speed (standard motor aswell) but the control was rock solid.Chain of Ponds,Gorge,Eagle on the Hill are a dream to drive with good suspension setup.

You cant go wrong with all that susp. gear.

Matt

p.s.I`m a peeper most of the time:p :lol:

hahaha u peeping tom :( how ya doing matt?

yes im buying a nissan... not quite a latemodel one either :) tis a bit shush shush for now, going to be powered by either an Rb20det or an Rb25det depends on how rich im feeling at the time..

the above suspension is setting me back 3K for everything... i want it to sit flat and be fully controlable when drifting :)

Matt: sweet.. thats the kind of ride i want.. u NEED to feel every bump etc on the road to get the best feedback.

heh.. thought about the rota/nissan combo but im after budget [performance meaning getting a a car that a motor will drop striaght in no worries.

yeah i'll miss the rotor... but hey.. i can always get another one... and the way i look at it RB series motors are kinda like rotors anyway... bugger all down low... pulls like a mofo over 4K rpm and revs like a rotor :D heh :D :D

It corners great at the right speed but drop the clutch or past that magic apex speed and its a drifting time.I'll be at the gold coast the week of autosalon so if your keen I'd just about garantee they will still be on the car and I'll be at the broadwater carpark or I'll give you my no.

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
