Hey guys!!

My names Kate, I have been given the nickname of Drift Barbie due to my blonde hair and pink wheels and helmet!! i own a 1993 R32 Nissan Skyline.. have had her for a couple of months now and have some pretty big plans for her!

The 32 runs an RB20det which im selling to upgrade with an rb25det! I currently have Drift Barbie stickers along the sides of her also Import Master's stickers along the back panels! The engine has a few mods, the usual fmic to4e turbo blah blah blah..I've put a screamer on her which definitely makes her stand out!

The car is white at the moment but i have recently been sponsored by Westside Panel and Paint and they are going to paint my car for me so it will be a BIG change!

My goals are to one day be the best girl drifter in Australia! I really want to race Drift Cat!

so thats pretty much me in a nutshell

if you ever see me out at the track dont be to scared to say hi or give me a wave :(

    • Nothing wears "the most". Different cars will always show signs in a different place. 114000 km is either nothing at all (as in, given the calendar age, nearly brand new) or it's completely unbelievable. We stopped believing numbers like that about 15 years ago. Having said that, my car is up around 270000 km and I have put bushes into some places** as many as 10 times in >25 years that I've owned it. ** FUCAs, which are different on an R32 than on a 33, so not likely to be the same issue for you. I have original ball joints all the way around. They are perfectly fine. Same with the spindle bearings in the front. Tie rod ends have all been done at least once though. Pretty much every other bush in the car has been done at least twice. Some of those in the first 100000km after I got it (which was at a genuine 23000!). Some of those bushes are now sphericals, and they are on a <cough> regular maintenance schedule, hence why my FUCAs have been rebuilt so many times. Half of those 10 in the count above would be in the last few years! 'twere I you, I would budget on replacing everything, for fun and prevention. If they really are 30 year old rubber, they will all be unpleasantly aged in one way or another. Whether that's corrosion of shells, or the rubber cracking, or sagging under the load, etc etc.
    • Tighten until it starts to get loose again, then back off 1/4 turn?
    • Do them as you'll find when you remove them they are perished/dried.    Its probably one of the best things to do as makes the car so much more responsive. Do ball joints while there too.
    • Hi All Got an R33, about 114,000km on the clock.  Handles very nice, no signs of issues.    Engine is out and i'm doing an underbody refresh, mainly painting subframe, cosmetics etc. Can't see anything physically giving play, but I'm wondering which bushes are the ones that wear the most, or the first ones that may give problems down the track? For good measure I'm thinking to fit new ones. Thanks
