Good work Beau.. Nice drifting.

Btw...its called "Tall Poppy Syndrome"....People will alway despise what they cant have or achieve.

Keep it up champ.

Except everyone who has posted in this thread thus far has, had, or is finishing something that looks considerably better… And to be honest not many want to achieve a written off car look.

This car has gone from a beautifully presented R32 to something that looks like it’s been written off and fixed on the cheap.

This is Aaron beaus mate! I knew the previous owner and know all the garage hiramatsu boys! This car in the previous shots was hot yes....but NOT drifted! If you want a show car go to autosalon you want a race car thats driven hard everyday and pushed to its limits then it will not stay beautiful for long unless its got factory backing!

I am currently working at a D1 workshop in japan and can promise you d1 cars are also not flawless in apperance but they go like the clappers....Please dont be judgmental and a bit harsh unjustifily!He isnt claming its a show car but a drift car! He f**king painted it himself and had a go at doing it and learning to paint! How many people can say they have a go at doing things themselfs...

He had a go at changing front ends himself because it hasnt really been done in aus and wanted to be different so dont bag him, this was a thred about him drifting in a drift round at QR! I dont remember seeing you there so please either post about his drifting or leave this thred alone!

Look at the old pics that were taken.....all still shots in a frigging car park! His are 3rd or 4th gear slides...

You're probably right.

BTW, Great drifting Beau!

Pity the car you're in looks shit

Autosalon is such a typical “Drifters” reply. With my involvement in motor sport through friends, family and the odd event myself, I have never seen “alleged” racecars so poorly prepared. It’s like it’s a badge of honor to have a damaged car or something, the kids on secret drift all froth over it...

I'll tell all the guys at the next Porsche car club meeting all their club cars must be factory backed or something as they don’t look shit.

No argument Beau can slide the car; he seems to do pretty well. But his mentioned money, there lack of to finish the car maybe if it was prepared better he’d be picking up more sponsors on his driving merits.. When someone from DA came begging for some form of sponsorship (they wanted a free product) from my dad, the first thing we looked at was the cars presentation..

all the cars at the track days i've attended (timed events, ie grip racing) are neatly prepared, seems just drift it's cool or acceptable to have shit hanging off the car everywhere :)

edit: about the cars that get drifted looking shit after a while, thats because a lot do half assed body mods when they install their sick widebody fibreglass kit and don't extend the wheel tub to the new guard with a piece of metal like you should to stop tyres ripping your guards off,.

X2. I get a kick out of wandering pit lane and looking at the detail some people go to in presenting their track cars.

I do the same at the qr friday night drift sessions and i can not believe the dodginess i see.

All i can assume is they have no respect for themselves if that is the public persona they are prepared to present.

In a sport where contact (wall, other vehicle, whatever) is highly likely, it makes sense not to worry too much about appearances. That said, a tidy drift car shows a certain amount of confidence in your abilities and those of your peers... Beau is pretty handy behind the wheel and I'm sure the car will be tidied up in due time.

But anyway... nice effort in the comp mate, good luck with the next one!

I wasnt taking a shot at beau Marc. I,ve seen him in action. He's pretty damn good.

Some of the crap i see out there is not a bit rough, its downright dodgey.

Exactly. Everything in this thread has been in-relation to car(s) not driver/drivers

I have already said that I agree it looks dodgy , I never realy got to see it out in the sun on track till this comp , now that I have I will fix it up , I had a go at painting myself and fitting a 34 front on , and I failed . I will fix it up when I get back from Japan in a month or two .

P.S I will post up some pics of my S14 I have over here , once I get it on track at Ebisu or up one of the mountains.

P.P.S I would have keep it as a 32 GTR drifter , but there are now 4 R32 4 door GTR fronted drifters in QLD , and I wanted some thing a little different , and I got rid of the work VS wheels , as selling them I was able to buy 8 work miester wheels , so that I never have mismached wheels.

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.

      R34 GT > GTT compatibilities

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...

      Rear hub bolt torque r34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
