    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

    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,

    Just to wrap this up i was reading up on n/a r33's and after getting a rough estimate of the price to make it drift ready the way i wanted it,i decided to scrap the idea so last week i bought an s14 with a sick sounding sr20 det up in meath for cheap so im hoping to get it ready for superdrift at some stage

    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........
