Bucket boy theres a 98 r33 na just been posted on drift sales, silver, coupe 7.5k

Link, Miguelone?

I saw this one on car sales, incorrectly described as a Skyline GT. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1998/SSE-AD-2424953/ Much better price and even open to reasonable offers.

Also I should have mentioned I'm taking a loan out to get a car, but I should be able to pay it off in a year or two. *puts on flame retardant suit*

If you're taking out a loan you'd really be better off not doing so, saving 2-3k and buying a Nice tidy A32 Maxima or something, it's just as quick(or not :P) as an NA Skyline except it's comfier, cops don't even look at you and for an uninspiring FF sedan it actually handles pretty decently in the bends.

as much as it might be gratifying to buy the car now. you end up paying, say over the course of 1 year, 10 - 12% more on the car than if you had paid cash instead.

And seeing that you're on your P's, a car that you most probably won't keep for long. So. It'd make a lot more sense financially to just save up the money, while turbos depreciate further. And keep your 31 living for just that little bit longer.

so just to be different.

I like the idea of the load for a cheap car when your young.

your not paying a huge amount of interest so that not the biggest issue.

plus assuming you pay on time or sooner, then you are building up a very nice credit rating early on and will save that money plus more when you buy a house later.

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
