ur questin is too vague, real question is how much $ u got.

i

cheapest bet is:

$1800 na s13 weld diff 2nd hand coilovers total = 2.5k max and its licenced for street.

dont do it in your R34 as it will just end up a real pig. start off with a real piece of crap and see how u go. if u wanna fork out a bit more get a turbo r32 skyline or sr20det s13 but ur looking closer to 4-6k. turbo is more power and easier sideways action, but also for a 4-6k turbo skyline/silvia i wouldnt put too much faith in it ie BOOM

yikes, should have bought my friends r32 rb25det few months back :) would u want it to be able to be driven on the street or for track only?

either way im sure you could easily find a nicely 'already modified' skyline, silvia, 180, or s14 for that much money all ready to go nothing more to pay (except tyres) :P

basically the way it should work for around 10k+ is the older the model the car the more modified it should be, ie an R32 or s13 for sale at 14k would have to be built or atleast have a big turbo slapped on the side with some good suspension, rims, ecu etc as opposed to an s14/s15 or r34 at 14k would be less modified or not modified at all.

you dont have to stick with nissan either, you can look at mazda rx7, toyota, people drift all sorts of cars, you cant really say this car is better than that one, some people say 4 door cars are better some say 2 doors.

its just personal choice

tho usually for a beginner you want to start off with something with just some good suspension setup an lsd diff and not crazy power

yea im not to keen on the r32's unless its a 4 door, this is my mums accout so shes the one wih the r34, i got a 33 but i was gonna drift that but its to clean and straight to do it in.

i think i would go with a 32, 33 or 34 4 door :)

bahaha pete. most important is suspension setup and tyres.

s14, has better brakes and five stud. great platform for drifting once you drop in a 25 neo or VH45DE

Or a VK45DD OR a 1GZ-FE :thumbsup:

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
