Any Drift Goodies And They're Set Ups For First Timer R34 Gtt Drifter?


Recommended Posts

Hi folks ,

Very few I see r34 2 door drifters, love the look of em so I'm Very interested in drifting my r34 Gtt, it's still basically standard adpart from full turbo 3 inch exhaust system hi flow cat/muffler, boost t, 'Extreme'heavy duty clutch, and front I/c. And hsd coilovers.

Any suspension component work I have to do to get decent drift angles?. Lol..

I sort of wanna start with the power I have atm and can get enough skills to control the power. Then later down the track upgrade to bigger power.

..removed my hicas bar too .

R33's and R34's share suspension components and setup so what works in one would work in the other.

I would suggest that you start by coming along to a Texi day (there is one on 30 March in Sydney) to get the fell of your car going sideways in a safe controlled environment. There will a number of cars there and you can talk to other drivers about what works and what doesn't.

Then from that experience decide what mods you want to do first.

    • That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers, 
    • Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.
    • Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.
    • Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D? 
    • I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
