New To Skylines

[crustydemons666]

Hi all,

just chasing some info, im new too skylines and lack info.

im looking at buying a skyline for drifting and would like some input into which ways/options i should go more or less about motors and models.

r33's seems regularly available ATM and fairly cheap over here in WA.

What's a good choice when it comes to r33's(or other models) for a beginner drifter, i feel comfortable with the suspension side of things, just unsure when it comes to sr or rb.

i will be doing minor mods nothing bit at this stage, im happy to gutt from engine bay back of the car if required(sorry to offend anyone).

i can acquire turbos quite easily, so turbos and anything turbo related info would be handly.

i know there will be mixed thoughts and this could get messy haha but i do appreciate the info.

thanks.

my bad, forget the sr bit...was reading up on silvias at the same time as posting this.

so some insight on rb motors would be handy

i'm not drifter but i'd say get an s13 or r32

[mad082]

don't bother with the r32 unless you want to go to the trouble of doing an engine conversion. while the rb20 will drift ok, the rb25 is much better for it because of the extra torque.

so either go the s13 or the r33. r33 is a good option because they are cheap these days for a relatively tidy one.

You won't have (m)any issues taking an r33 sideways as standard, having the right work done to it will make it more predictable.

Second that opinion xxx32!!

Mate stock 33 with the norm bits and pieces.

Full exhaust, oil cooler and breather etc.

Upgrade oil pump and fuel pump.

There ya go all day sliding lol

Somehow I don't see the R33 as a drifter...better go for a Silvia in my opinion...

Can an R33 GTR be drift?

sure, pull front shaft out, and do the 4wd wire trick. can go sideways real well with the TT setup and rather large low torque it makes.
