Before you think WTF is a commo doing here, It is more nissan than anything else.

Holden

body

5.7 gen3 with 6 speed tremec

passenger seat & steering wheel.

Nissan

S14 rack

S15 front hubs

Bilstiens with S13 camber tops

R33 calipers, and master

R33 clutch master

R33 cradle, hubs etc.

Nismo GT-Pro

Tien rear coilovers.

R33 GTR sway bars.

We took it to The King of drift event at QR on Sunday. It wasn't great, but was respectable. Its so f**king heavy, just slides way past the clipping point. I think 1/2 the problem was putting 18's on it for the day. Someone made a mistake and got 18's instead of 17's, lucky we had a set of rims to put them on. It felt like there was lots less grip from the 18's. Any how it was heaps of fun to drive.

First Job of the day was to make sure that everyone had big offset, low skirts, RAUCOUS EXHAUST NOTE..... most passed

Some times Jedi mind control is needed "I'm a 180.....No Police Car here"

Track testing for driftability and safety is a prime concern at any event

that is awesome!!. even better if it was actually police force sanctioned

Funny thing is, it is.

It belongs to "Operation Drag" which is a part of Blue Light.

The aim of th car is part of youth at risk program which is runs in Warwick. Basically the kids enrolled in a Cert 1 mechanical course, they get to learn and work on the drift and drag cars. If they are performing well they get to come to these events as pit crew. A lot of the work that goes into building it has been voluntary and has taken about 3 years to get it to this point. The Birth of this thing has had a long teething process but, Its pretty well sorted now. Now we need to find a Police Officer that has the right credentials to learn to drift it. Thats the goal any way.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yeah this was also my suspicion, that pineapples exist to reinforce the OEM bushes because people CBF taking the subframe out to do it. Basically that pineapples and subframe lock collars perform the same intended task. The cup still bolts in under the bush/crush tube.. as to how it'll go I don't know. Two of the bushes at the back look mostly the right shape. The ones up front clearly have the impressions left by the pineapples. Time will tell whether this will work/make any difference. Ideally I would not want any lock collars or pineapples, I'd just want the bush to do the job of the bush. Time will tell if the car works correctly with only the poly bushes in the state they're in. Worth seeing, I think.  What panel work are you looking at? I'm shelving everything from the A pillar forward because it's shit/doesn't function and this was before I drove off at the track and then drove into somebody! A second hand Reo and brackets is $1000, which is just cray when Mr.Hammer turns this piece of metal in regular metal shape.. considering it needs to be drilled to be adapted to the GTR headlight brackets anyway... So I'm all for $0 instead of $2000 (new 34 GTR reo) for the same result lol.

      I think he's already demonstrated that that's the way he's treating it post the paint jail release.

      Yep that makes sense, thanks! I guess flogging these turbos in winter is more preferrable lol.

      Bahahaha, bloody hell Greg. You've got bent and broken things, but instead, you're replacing perfectly good items. This story keeps getting more gregged!   Also, I'd 100% replace that reo if I were in your shoes, unless you panel beater is REALLY good. Even if you put another GTT one on there. Just because you've done so much nice body work lately, I'd say repair the body work fully  If it were more drift car spec, I'd be all "Hit it with a hammer and send it!"

      There's a fair chance that my bushes are Nismo, because I'm reasonably sure that when asked the question (when putting the subframe into the car in ~2012) "What bushes do you want to run?", I'm pretty sure I would have answered "The stiff ones!". I had to put some silicone grease onto the GKTech inserts I jammed into them last week, because the bushes were quite resistant to having something jammed up their jacksies. So, I reckon you'll be best off doing Nismo + inserts. And, if I'd known you had PU bushes in the subframe AND PU pineapples, I perhaps would have said earlier that that's probably not a good idea. The pineapples are only intended to work with the stock type bushes, because those have a crush tube (which is what makes it end up looking like there is sloppy space in there - but doesn't, because the crush tube does make contact steel to steel) and the pineapples live in the space between the subframe's outer tube and the lower washer/bracket. But the PU bushes don't leave the space in the same way that the stock format ones do, and they do end up fighting for space. Order some bushes and collars and get to it.
