Post Vids Of Rb25de Drift/race/track

[clip14]

please post up vids of rb25de powered cars ripping it up. im sick of watching them do dounuts. some track, grip, race, drift vids would be great! thanks

[Eug]

keep them legal too please.

private property, track and circuit stuff is fine. no car parks, traffic lights and/or street signs.

[LUME]

im keen to see if mine goes ok compared to others (private property of course)

[clip14]

i have just had doubts that the rb25de has enough power for motorkhanas, sprints, some track racing, drift.

[dori34]

mine was fine on skidpan, couold do with some more power for some more smoke action tho lol

chris - GTST(?) hit OP a few months back and he didnt do too bad.

[_bobo_]

[TKR]

Your not trying hard enough..

The RB25DE is (in my opinion) pretty under rated! My 25 has done a fair bit over the 100,000km (couldnt tell you exactly as I didnt mark when I swapped the engine over but perhaps close to 130,000?) mark and had copped a HEAP of abuse!

With the right set of tyres it will easily spin 1st, 2nd, 3rd and with a little bit of force, 4th at drift days. Its seen the rev limiter more times than I care to admit. Its been to several track days (and on semi's even over took a stocko XR8 on road rubber through the twisties and a short straight ). Its seen a couple of motorkhanas as well as countless hundred km of abuse through the twisties.

Also bear in mind that its a GTS4 (so ~150kg heavier than your GTST's). So a GTST should be even more nimble and light.

I cant really stress how much it has copped! The best bit about it? Never, ever, EVER skipped a beat! Not even a missfire!

Its a daily driver too.

Soon enough I will have the option of dropping either an RB25/30DE/T or RB25DET VVL in it and you know what? I dont think I will! It is a bullet proof engine.

I admit its not the quickest thing in a straight line but you need to learn how to extract the most out of the engine. Especially in short distance point-to-point driving it was just as quick as other R32 RB20DET's with similar mods.

In an perfect world, id like to strip the attessa system, hicas and intrior and keep it as a road registered race car and buy a daily VW MkII GTi or 190E Merc.. but the work involved in that is simply eye watering. But id still keep my 25DE!

[dori34]

my r34 na beat a r32 rb20det on a straight highway run lol

he had fmic, exhaust, pod & 9or10psi boost.

all i had was k&n filter

chris is right, best to setup suspension mods and once it sticks to the road like sh*t on carpet then you will be more confident in keeping the foot pedal down!

[clip14]

yep, have sorted out a r33 lsd, some low springs and new shocks, and am in the process of stripping out as much weight as i can

then I will probably get a full exhaust, ecu and tune to hopefully get the 120-130kw which most people are getting with simple mods on the rb25de.

hopefully it will be enough for now!

[_bobo_]

120-130kw on a n/a...probably be harder for me being a auto only got around 101kw atm..looking at getting a cai done and hopefully a chip n tune but thats pretty expensive plus im in need of a 100k service...damn i need money

[clip14]

also my rb25de is the r34 neo with factory 147kw so hopefully will be able to get 120rwkw with exhaust intake and tune

[LUME]

mine has stock suspension so thts maybe why if i dump it in first it dies withing a matter of seconds

and r33 gtst diff my diff gears are really tall

my car has taken alot of abuse over the past 4 months and hasnt skipped a beat jsut my iac valve needs cleaning

hopfully its alot different with coilovers

reaced an r33 gtst beat him by a car lenght

raced a 32 gtst he sjut pulled on me when i went to third gear sitting on 110 (bogged down a bit)

duno think my engine could do with a freshen up cams ported head and intake and a power fc

what clutch are you running chris?

hey i was wondering how much power my car would make its got a apexi cat back cai it pulls abit even with my sisters supra, hey question can the stock ecu be tuned? or do i have to get another or somthing

I like this

Only girls and posers drive supras.

The diff with CAI and cat bick will be minimal, but responce should be better. Depending on the side of the cat back you may gain a little more power up top but sacrive responce down below. Very minimal gains though

Hey mate,

I'm drifting my RB25DE R32. Have had it dyno'd with a Blitz Pod and HKS Priest Catback, making 115rwkw. Pretty happy with that, no major mods and it's the non-VCT motor too.

First drift day I went to was Oran Park on Australia Day and I met Cris there in the silver R32 with RB25DE. Gave me a few tips and by the end of the day I was linking the circuit.

Then on Sunday (8th March) just went to a Skidpan day held by ProjectD, and it was a GREAT day. Definitely improving my skills. Loving the NA, I plan to drift a lot more with this car NA down the track.

awesome videos!!

exactly what I was after

if you have any more videos, post them up!!

[dori34]

jimmy, they making u wear helmets now for skidpans?

Well in the first half of the day, you didn't have to for the 'slower' layout, but you did have to for the slalom or 'manji' course at the other end, and they were running simultaneously so I decided to wear it most of the time. And it was compulsary for the faster layout in the afternoon anyway. Doesn't bother me that much though, it is annoying and a bit hot sometimes but yeah you forget about it when you're drifting cos it's just so much fun!
