Hi guys, for a long time now ive been toying with the idea to build a drift car to hire out far a day, hopefully giving people who cant afford to build a car of their own the experience of driving a REAL drift car for more that 5 stupid laps of lala.

A few days ago I finally decided to look into the legal side of renting out my car, turns out all people have to do is sign a few forms and anyone can rent the car (so long as the tems and cond are met) and so began the build of an epic car.....

First was the choice of which car? s13? s14? r32? R33 ?????? fate decided for me by putting up for sale an R33 series 2, now unfortunatley in my excitement i forgot to take a few before shots but the car was MAGICAL,

it has miss matched paint, the battery must have exploded in the boot and left for a few years, the wing was snapped in half at some point and had repair attempts done with fiberglass, smelled like cats had lived in it and the engine refused to start. When I finally got it to fire it was running on 3 cylinders.......

what a beautiful car.......

And so with a swift kick to the nuts the project began, first was finding out why it ran like poo,

easy fix....

turns out a few coilpacks let go and the injector wiring loom had been chewed on by angry teenagers, replacement of both resulted in a purring motor

next removal of the wing and getting started on the boot, i forgot to take a before pic however Good ol simon smelled the acid and has survived just to state how awfull it really was, i can still taste the acid today, but here it is now!

not long after removal of cat pee seats and mould infected carpet took place and before i realised i should probably take some more pics the interior was burned in a pile at my yard

i then began to hide...i mean repair the rusty spots and prep for first coat, tar removal will take plaace once i know what cage will be going in.

after a while i got bored and drove to David and Kelly's shop to grab some goodies. For those of you who dont know them they run sleeka spares in adelaide, I picked out some gktech arms basically every one possible, caster camber you name it i got it! a hydro with the line kit, rack spacers and a few stickers didnt hurt

next was the planning stage, power levels! the fun stuff! I decided a modest 250rwkw would be very fun and still have the reliability to go out weekend after weekend, however im going over kill for 250 so that if needed i can bump it up to about 315 at the rears with no hassles.

with that i went out and purchased an Apexi PFC, 555cc injectors, GT35/40 that had been modified (not telling),

still on the shopping list is a cage, quick release steering wheel, high mount manifold, tial wastegate FF plenum and a 2 way diff

all the parts are on the floor and ill take photos as i start to install them, this car will hopefully be finished, tuned and track ready in one months time

Bit of a change in plans, speking to brenton from fours n more the 35/40 will just be too laggy on a 25 even with the modified rear housing so ive opted to purchase a turbo from a member here in SA, its a HKS 3037s with AM performance dump/front pipe, hopefully will be perfect for this application

Hi guys bit of an update, the r33 rental has been put on hold for a month ...... Beacuz .... I have purchaced the SECOND car fully track ready!! So guys the car IS available to rent for track days at mallala and tailem bend !!!

Its a nissan onevia with an enourmous list of mods, fully ready to drift at a super reliable 210rwkw!!! Car can also be prepped for grip events its current record is 1:22 at mallala. Will post up pics tonight when i get a chance.

Sweet project. Whats the deal with the projector headlights? It would be a shame to damage them during drift hint hint. Keen to sell maybe?

Hai lol the headlights are some kind of aftermarket thing and i think they give it a more uniqe look, and would like to keep them but for the right offer i guess everything is for sale :)

Nice work so far, great idea to by the way.

I had to do the same with my car in the boot. Was the biggest pain trying to clean the rust, prep and paint, all the fumes are terrible.

Thanks mate lol id like to say its impressive but its really nothing special just yet, big plans tho ... BIG plans...

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
