S13 turbo

good diff

stiff suspension

drivers seat, steering wheel, gear stick, dash, good front tyres.

Basically, after that it's practice and money.

Can't remember who it is that is up there in the AUS drift scene who has an S13 or is it a onevia (s13 and 180 front end) who has about 220rwkw and is one of the most competitive cars on the scene..

a stock S15 turbo'd SR20 with tuning and fuel mods etc will make about 200rwkw.

a stock S13 is about 1100kg.

remove anything not required and close to 1000kg.

Get a commodore

any model will do... vs, vy, vt

find a corner...

go around it fast and stab throttle...

this is cheap and will have you drifting in no time.....

or the other suggestions sound ok i guess

Aren't most commodores single spinners?

So you get this drift and sometimes it will almost seem to snap back on you when the other wheel decides to spin instead?

Stick with the Silvia's, the NissanSilvia forum's are into drift ...

yeah right....all that will do will cause the car to fishtail, hit the gutter and flip onto its roof or wrap around a telegraph pole....Or if its a single spinner...lay one big black line down...I wouldnt try to drift a commodore unless I had some major suspension work..Stock they are awful

now heres THE cheapest way to drift.. Take any front wheel drive car, place 2 McDonalds food trays under the rear wheels and pull the handbrake on...Then take off !!! - Hint the trays usually last longer if its wet weather

i say with starting off.. build yourself a pretty decent r31 manual rb30.. I currently have one now, just standard with a tune to run slightly better (advance timing, richened up) without a locker in the wet i get it on pretty stupid angles.. Way more fun to throw around than my 300kw r33 that i purposly built for drift.. (Because it doesnt pick up speed to over 130km/h in 3rd gear when sideways :P )

So get yourself a R31

r32 rear coilovers

s13 front coilovers

swaybars

strut bars

strip the shit out of the interior

adjustable front arms and rods

s13 brakes

Alloy rad

4.11 diff gears

minispool with 28 spline axles

exedy heavy duty clutch

bodge your own exhaust

get it running nice.. always service it..

If you want extra beef.. add a high lift n/a cam

and you have yourself a drift car :D and trust me.. u can throw them around something kronik

You must be doing it wrong then....

Make sure you have ACDC cranking, your wearing correct attire (wife beater, footy shorts and thongs) and your hand out the window holding a stubby cooler with a can of VB in it...

THEN youll be able to drift a commodore

Stick your mates in the back, some cases of beer in the boot and youll be the next DRIFT KING

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
