Welcome to the Driftworks Trade section

As most of you know, Phil and I run Driftworks the forum and website. We also run the two Driftworks demo cars, currently an R32 SKyline and a certain S14a 200SX

We have spend an inordinate amount of time developing these cars and others to perform how we want them to, and in doing so like to think we have learned a thing or two about how to go about it. We have also tried wherever possible to try things for ourselves rather than follow rumour and sales pitches for products, so are able to offer first hand experience of what works well and what doesn't.

With this in mind, we have launched Driftworks the parts shop

We'll be bringing you the products that we feel are the best solutions for our own cars and worthy of your hard earned cash, both in terms of quality and value for money. We'll be offering both tried and tested solutions and new developments. Our aim is to back this up with good honest advice based on our experiences over the years.

This forum section has been setup so you can ask questions about products and orders.

We'll be keeping you up to date with news of our development products and any special deals we'll be running.

We can also offer advice on fitting any of the products we provide

The shop is still in the early stages and will be under constant development for the forseeable future, so it’s worth checking back frequently.
If there's anything you'd like to see, please just let us know. We have a large number of suppliers setup now and can source most parts.

Please don’t be afraid to comment on the service and products we provide. We'd like to know if there’s a product you feel we should be supplying, if you feel there is something we should be doing better, or even if your completely happy with our service, it’s all useful feedback and will help us to improve the service we're providing to you guys

We've got a selection of products up in the online shop, which supports fully automated ordering via paypal and full online credit card facilities.

You can also reach us on the phone 9am-6pm GMT Monday to Friday
+44 (0) 121 62 44 707 or via email to sales@driftworks.co.uk

Kind Regards and happy Drifting
James and Phil

**SteveC200** · 13-10-2005, 10:53

Best of luck with the shop.

yeager · 13-10-2005, 10:58

Excellent James... so good to see Driftworks progressing.

I'd like to see;

a) Kits for improving lock which doesn't go over center and is progressive.
b) Tools specific to drifting which are reliable and at a good price, e.g. tyre pressure gauges, nut guns, low jacks.
c) A design and fitting service for car graphics.

**James** · 13-10-2005, 11:08

Cheers guys

seats and harnesses are on the way, we're just mulling over which manufacturers and models are going to be best. Other motorsporty bits and bobs will be added as we progress.

a) on the way

b) no problem

c) We've got a vinyl cutter and can make anything people want from tiny weeny up to about 60cm x 50 meters

but we're short of a designer and don't have a fitting bay so we'd need to post them to someone else to stick on

stoofer · 13-10-2005, 11:17

if you do get seats, Id buy a pair if only to see Ed arrive at work with them strapped to his back

narcotic · 13-10-2005, 11:19

looking at the new stuff and one phrase springs to mind 'the future is bright.... the future is orange'

things on my shopping list are:
1. filter relocation kit of some sort that will work with the thermostat sandwich plate and cooler
2. harness eye's
3. hicas lock bars
4. camber arms
5. cheap adjustabe subframes

narcotic · 13-10-2005, 11:24

DriftLexus · 17-10-2005, 18:22

**James** · 17-10-2005, 18:43

cheers guys

We'll have a load of generic motorsporty type items that'll fit into most cars (seats and harnesses are pretty high up the list) but for the more specific stuff, we'll mostly have a good stock of Nissan stuff, but can get any others to order

Barky · 20-10-2005, 20:50

Good stuff guys, hope it all works out for you! Business is tough these days!

Bean Bandit · 21-07-2006, 13:21

We're looking at some bush kits at the moment. I'm guessing most people would be after either a kit for the 4 links or a complete kit like Fensport sell right?
Oil filter relocation without a cooler we will sort out next time we place an order, so I would guess we can start supplying them in about 3 weeks time

Bean Bandit · 02-08-2006, 15:34

I'd be up for a complete kit (like the protane one, don't know fensport) maybe incl uppermount bushings for the front suspension, or pillowball ones with camber adjusting

3 weeks brilliant, i'll start saving, fed up[ burning my hand on the exhaustmanifold
