Prodrift 2012 R33 Skyline

[jamie180sx]

ok so for 2012 i decided to drive a skyline instead of my 180sx,there is a few reasons for this,a guy approched me about selling the sr22 from my 180sx after a PD round,a price was agree'd and he told i could hold onto the engine for the remaining rounds of 2011,i hit the wall in punchestown,there wasnt much damage but needed to get it sorted,and after missing the next round i decided not to bother with the last round.so decided to get extra lock hubs from chris Burnett(thanks again chris ) and sort a few bits i wanted to do and take my time with it.
so since the engine is coming out and going into a new home,i decided since i had a rb25 there from my own road car and some nice parts there for it that i would fit it into the 180 and drift it,so i could get to finish my sr24 race engine,but after going through what was needed for the 180sx, and worrying about the extra weight up front i decided that it would make as much sence to drift the r33 instead.the other main reason for this is since the 180 needs new cage ect that i wanted to fully seemweld the car and cage it,make race loom and just other stuff i always wanted to do in other words fully build the shell i could take my time with it and do it right the way i wanted



so to the new car its my road going r33.to be honoust i havent huge plans for it, but enough that i can be competitive with.the body work im not bothered with,so will be remaining the same as seen in pic,except i will put the nismo single blade spoiler i have here but thats bout it,







Plans for the car
1. Safety. first things with the new PD rules if they ever get here is the roll cage,not sure who ill get to do this,nothing fancy just enough to suite the rules along with all kill switches,seat,harness ect.
2.Power im gonna start with a std rb25 engine,with a greddy t67 25g turbo kit,greddy intake manifold,555cc injectors,cams,ect power to be expected around 540hp
3.Handleing adjustable coilovers,front and rear camber arms,modified hubs,toe arms
4.Transmission Twin plate clutch and 300zx gearbox with custom prop,

so thats about it,im starting work on it tomorrow so ill take plenty pics and keep updated as i go along
