Drift car advice

[BongRips]

Looking to build my car up during this summer, winter and next summer and was looking for two goals. Fast 1/4 mile times and a good drift car. Currently I am stage 1 tuned r32 gts-t (minus FMIC), and the car drifts nice already but would like more power to hold skids for longer. I know I'll need a bycas kit for the drifting, but what will I need to get a decent 1/4 mile time, say 10 or 11 seconds? Turbo upgrade, top mount manifold, 660cc injectors?, fmic, cams and gears, lightened pulleys, and what else? And what type of turbo, injectors and so on should I be looking for?

10 seconds on a GTS-T? Is that possible?

[johnZ32]

possible? yes. easy to do (relatively speaking)? HA

drifting and 1/4 cars are completely different platforms!!! and your list of what you would need to hit a 10 or a 11 is far from complete!!

and that would be why im asking. doing an rb25 swap too. i know they are completely different platforms but if i have the torque to do drag it'll be able to handle drift as it already has enough. basically i just want to know what i'd need to get to 11 or 10 seconds on the 1/4 and what ppl have done for drift mods (such as bycas, what kind of camber you have and drop, etc).

if you have your car setup for drift then it wont do very good on the strip and vis versa. drifting you will need a new 2 way lsd, hicas delete, roll cage, lightening the car( if your serious about drifting and want to compete in dmcc), coil overs, camber plates, max angle kits, sway bar upgrade, strut bars, more go fast goodies and so on

Well i guess drift it is then.

RB20DET in a Silvia can run a 10.42 1/4 mile (done in Canada) -

Engine is stockish (Stock cams + stock camgears, stock bottomend with mods, stock exhaust manifold, bigger turbo, aftermarket intake manifold, etc).

Here's his build diary (link doesn't work anymore)-

When a R32 GTS-4 with RB24 stroker kit, etc runs a 10.1 or 9.883 1/4 mile, that 10.42 1/4 mile is impressive for a close to stock engine.

High 11's can be done with stock intake, exhaust manifolds, bigger turbo, metal headgasket, fuelsystem, ECU, etc upgrades in a R32 GTS-T.

With drifting you don't need much, GTR rear swaybar, suspension upgrade, Nismo LSD (as mentioned above) or similar, intake, exhaust, ECU upgrade (mates R32 driftcar). It's not about hp with drifting, but it helps. If can drift a Toyota AE86, can drift anything.

Agreed.

Also to drift you need to delete that HICAS. Already i'm amazed you can drift with HICAS at all seeing as how when drivers says yes to sideways, HICAS says no. Delete that and you'll find the drift control your looking for.

Like Skym said, look toward eliminating body roll (sway bars, front and rear strut bars), tighten/ lower/ tune your suspension (coilovers) and get an LSD (not required but it helps).

My buddy drifts his stock GTsT, all he has is strut bar (front) coilovers and HICAS delete... and he does it VERY well!
