My R34 moredoor powered by Leadfoot racing So I thought I'd better put a build thread up, I'm normally too lazy tbh but I really like this car. I got it like this Rb25det neo HKS cam belt recently done Z32 airflow Hks gt pro 2835 Turbo, heatsheild, suction pipe and elbow Hks induction kit R35 500cc gtr injectors Greedy style plenum Q45 tb Torques fuel rail 3" stainless straight through 1.2mm headgasket Arp head bolts Mls manifold gasket Sard fuel pressure reg Fmic Ngk plugs Spitfire coilpacks Mocal oil cooler Mocal pas cooler R34 gtrfront brembo brakes upgraded pads and DBA discs +25mm lower arms DW Offset rack spacers S14 steering rack Hydro - Driftworks with wildwood cylinder and DW knuckle handle Super pro rack bushes Brand New hsd mono pros Solid rear subframe Solid rear diff Welded 4.1 diff DW hicas lockout kit Adjustable arms DW Gtr D-Max style bonnet Custom flared arches New ACT 4 puk clutch New ACT lightened flywheel to match Didn't take me long to smash a wheel or two and bend a lower arm, Damn kerbs. Anyway a quick trip to jap performance parts and the lower arm was sorted and two new wheels ordered and were here within 2 days. I took it for a rolling road run to see what sort of power it was making as i was expecting a bit more from it. Let's just say it was a little down on power. So I ordered up a mishimoto rad as the stock one was tiny. And got an aem wideband to keep an eye on things along with an avcr as I much prefer them over all others. So I took a little drive to abbey motorsport for a remap and made 365 at the hubs. So now shes all better its time to concentrate on bodywork and my trip to drifttland the Mrs got me as an Xmas present. 5 hours private track time for me and a few mates. And definitely lydden a few times this year.
Not much lock atm, track rods already hitting lower arms, toyed with the idea of going s body front end like the driftworks r32, but that would be a long way off yet.
looks good! when i glanced at the first picture I thought it was a rear bumper on the front cos the bit missing lol you will enjoy driftland
So the car didn't get painted how I wanted it as my mates s13 took too long, so it got a quick coat of satin black to make it less of an eye sore. Then driftland happened. What a day, Jeek is a top bloke, very friendly and the track is brilliant. So much so that we've already started booking it again for later in the year. So here's some pics from the day. Yeh Yeh Yeh, I'm not close enough to the wall, but this was my first time out on track and I didn't want to ruin the new bodykit haha
So some shiny bits are on the way to me Fed up with the poor amount of lock this car has, and I'd rather only pay out once for something so went all out and ordered a TDP kit !!
So the tdp kit is on. Pretty easy to fit and now have a hell of a lot more lock to play with. Just need to take it up to drift street imports for them to track it up. Bit of bashing about underneath was needed and a few bits of metal needed to be cut away for wheel clearance. Still rubbing the tyre on full lock so new wheels and tyre setup will be needed. Amazing bit of kit to look at, and can tell it's going to be strong. Hubs were a bit heavier than I expected though. Not great pictures, was in a rush to get home.
Had it setup today at garage-d. Very helpful guys as I'm sure most of you know. All ready for lydden on the 27th now.
I sold my 350z to buy that car. You beat me to it you bastard! The tdp kit looks amazing. Glad to see the car's being used properly and hasn't ended up being broken like most cars do these days.
Haha sorry buddy, I was very lucky my mate bought it for me till I sold my evo 7 and s14a, I had to have it when I saw it. Next on the list is top mount the turbo.
Few pics from lydden, also changed my front wheels to Rota grids in black chrome My mate is his tubed 13 close behind
So not much has been done really, other than i painted it in vauxhall arden blue, basecoat only tho, got sick of the matt black. Went back to scotland to do another drift day with a few mates, had a rather large amount of photos to sort through when we got back; All the beemer had to strip down
Had a mad rush to get the car ready for drift matsuri, i wasnt originally going to be driving, just attending as a mate was in driftcup, but then a ticket came up for sale on the monday and the car wasnt ready to go out. but with a little help and a mad rush up to garage d i got it all done and ended up driving both days haha. Dean sorting out the tracking again Matsuri Pics didnt have time to clean it as it was such a rush
Turbo to manifold gasket had started to blow a bit so i stripped it all off, and decided fuck it, new turbo time. Doesnt fit though turbo smart 40mm gate and sent it off to Leadfoot racing for some exhaust and wastegate plumbing Spent a fortune on tyres too
