Just wanted to know how and with what I can make my wheels on angles... I want to angle out my rear wheels on angles for drift. Its a 33 gtst with standard suspension... what is needed to do this. I dont want to make it crazy angled.. just so that you can see there angled. Ive heard something about 'pineapple's'... HELPP!

Never seen wheels angled out??? If you want to set up your suspension for drift, start with a good set of coilovers, with reasonably hard springs.

There are alot of mods you can do to suspension, castor rods, rear cradle hardmount bushes, pineapples, swaybars, camber arms, pillow ball tie rod ends, strut braces, roll cage, even wheels spacers will all make a difference to the handling.

NickySantoro / is big negative camber, its very bad for tyre life and handling (although 1-2 degress is OK). The easiest way to get it is to chop an inch of your back springs with an angle grinder.

Thats negative camber - angled out gave me the idea you wanted to angle the top of the wheel out.

With negative camber, get some adjustable arms or you can get bushes to achieve the same.

Too much camber and you may start to experience bump steer, which can be a bit hairy, but you wont know exactly how it goes until you dial it in, as different spring/damper rates and ride heights can also effect bump steer.

check out www.whiteline.com.au for alot of good explanations on suspension and alignment terms, they also sell alot of the bushes and kits to help with getting the alignment results you may want.

also, speak to D1 Garage (www.d1garage.com) as they can source alot of suspension parts from Japan at good prices.

Tyre size and type can also make huge differences to the handling, as obviously a good wheel alignment will make. Probably the best place to start would be with coilovers, or shocks and springs - then get a wheel alignment done and go from there.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      im sure mine stays in gear and wont shift unless i shift it? and for sure it wont go back to Auto mode if its put in manual mode? if i use paddles but its still in D then of course it goes back to auto mode. but yer if its in -+ and i use paddles it will not auto change gears what so ever and i have tried this. it will gear down if at a stop though which is kinda nice but goes back to 1st gear not D. i think it used to be like this with imports aswell i dunno if its really like it anymore like when i got my R33 it had alot of JDM options which local cars didnt have. Now local cars have kinda caught up even the lower models. but yer transfer rates and other things makes it almost on par.

      Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.

      Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want.

      It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
