i have r33 rb20de non turbo and and not to hard to drift now the only thing i done to it was weld the diff and plenty of practice

back to topic lol

but next on the to do list is upgrade the clutch to stage 2 and put in hydro handbrake to be done in jan

once u have those three things done u should be well able to drift it

p.s. you could do with stripping it out also to make it lighter as it does tend to roll like a boat lol

p.p.s. the rb stands for skyline engine 20 means 2 litre 25 means 2.5litre and 26 means 2.6 litre and if there is a t after it it means turbo
so rb20de means 2litre skyline non turbo
where as rb26dett means 2.6 litre skyline twin turbo and rb25det means 2.5litre skyline turbo

hope this helps

Common myth, just a engine series like VQ,SR but at best it means response and balance, http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/RB26DETT or http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%...82%B8%E3%83%B3

Total waste of money buying a stage 2 for one of these

There is pretty much no tuning that can be done to them man, Cheap clutch , cut more weight out of it and try pick up a 25 de even, and eventually hang a turbo off it

Cut the absolut bollix out of a 33 and it wont be too bad , as for calling them a boat their just about the same as a s14 in essence.

To the op(what does that mean) if you can get it cheap then go ahead, cut the jaysis out of it and weld it up and have fun, end of the day thats what its all about, you can have a 400bhp monster but if your afraid of damaging it or cant afford to get it out its a total waste. Main thing is to get your arse in the seat of a car and just get out there and have fun, the rest will fall into place........

maybe i havnt made my mind up for defo on this lol but will be defo getting rb25det into her some time next year it will be one of them build threads lol

Cheers for all the info lads,i rang about that s14a an hour after it went up but there was no answer, so i think i'm going to save away until the summer and buy an s body with a turbo or else if one of those doesnt come into budget il get an 328 or 325 seeing as im a complete novice.

i got a hydro from someone not using it but yes it does lock up very well but i tend to track her so make sence to put the hydro in while i have it lol.

another job for jan lol

as was said before, lighten the clutch and flywheel, throttle response improves a heap then, but if your just lookin for somethin to mess with at a few track days, dont waste ur money, up the pressure on the back wheels, and go for it, tighten up the handbrake and your ready for a lil fun, ... or you could go the extra bit and put a hydro in,

i had a non turbo sr20 and never had any trouble drifting it cant imagine a skyline being any different
