Say Hello To My New Drift Pig (project)


Recommended Posts

We're talking 135hp (100kw) at the engine!!! For a 2-door FR coupe, thats just not cricket.

That is not bad.Are you going to put a snail/turbo on it?

I'll probably leave at the end of September.

Why can't you get rims in Perth? Or tyres???

yeah cant seem to find decent rims and tyres for a good price here... im a deep dish kinda guy... and gettin from yahoo auction japan is still gonna cost lots to bring over here....

I've got something lined up in the very near future regarding that^^^... I hope I can really help out the Japanese import guys in Perth :D

great! i look forward to that day... hahaha

if the price is right i will be at your place every month or so...

can you line up some deep dish SSR or Watanabe or Work or any other old school rims in 15" and tyres to go with it....

i get a feeling im the only one in perth who likes these kind of rims...

i want my car to look like a kyusha or yanky style if you know what i mean....

Shodo: Yeah, I was thinking RB20 for a while, but unbalancing the car like that with a cast iron block doesn't sound right. If I have the cash, SR. If not... a CA18DET would be such an easy swap I could do it myself. I know what most people think of CA's, but I've always liked them so meh.

Mark: The R32 was sold to my younger brother. He wanted a new demo car for his shop as the old Mitsubishi Lancer wagon (Libero GT style) wasn't what he really wanted. I love that R32 but the situation was such that I couln't hang on to it any longer.

Totoro: "If the price is right"? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it ;) But in the meantime, I was originally going to deal in brand new gear only... the used parts business is barely worth doing these days... but I do have very good contacts for both new and used parts so I'm sure I can source anything at all. Just the larger stuff like body kits and exhausts etc will take alot longer and have a scary freight charge. If all goes well I'll be open for business out of my brothers shop TKO Tinting in Bentley (fingers crossed) as of the end of October.

Edit: Totoro PM me and we'll talk some more about the wheels/tyres

There's nothing wrong with CA's from what I read in the HPI build up of there car. made decent power without too much hassle :P

When you are changing engines more often than oil there is a problem :O

Can't you bring it in as a personal import?

ie. no GST, Import duties/ approval, etc...

You have to own a personal import for at least 12 months... I've only owned that Silvia for lees than 2 weeks. Besides, the paperwork for bringing a personal import in is twice as much, and evrything has to be translated into English... 15 year rule was much easier.

What model Enkeis are they Justin?  I've got the same on my DR30

They're called Enkei Racing S. They come in a wide variety of offsets and widths so the center spokes piece sometimes looks a little more flat/dished than others. Quite oldskool, I think they stopped being made around '93 or '94. They're not to be confused with Enkei Racing 'Peaks' which are basically the same design (2 piece wheel with little bolts all around the rim) but with only 5 spokes.

Enkei Racing S also came as a 1 piece wheel with black centers and red/blue anodized rims.

your headlights are worth more than the car!!! bonus!

So's the LSD!

So's the Tein HR's!

So's the Field fuel controller!

So's the AVS rim's!!!

I'd say all that gear together - plus the car - would make it's true market value to be about $2,000!!!

BAAAAAAH - GIN!!!

:lol:

omfg, $700!!!!.. I just started watching initial D on friday after hearing so much abour it, and the first thing that came to mind when I saw that s13 was the one in initial D. Great buy rezz. The r32 that I just brought in, it's rego sticker is the same, guess they both expire in febuary. Except I'm leaving the rego sticker there, looks cool IMO.... Hope I don't get done for it though... but anyway, congratulations :D

Thnks Rylan...

Btw I mentioned 'AVS rims' above there, but the pics don't show AVS rims so here are a couple of updated pix:

    • I think the consensus was that's normal. Sloped road surfaces or something? I remember @silviaz went through this before. It might be one of those things you never notice until you pay attention to it.
    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
    • What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.
    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
