Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

Damn dude, thats sooooo god looking!

How is the handling of the car since the transplant?

handling was very poor with std suspension, but its great now thanks to the coilovers

And hows the cornering with the big engine in the front? More understeer?

havent pushed it that hard enough to find out yet, will let you know after i attend my 1st track day

Seriously now, how do you put that much power down on the road?? I mean at the power I have 1st gear high rpm they starts to squeel. what size tyres you running??

You drive like a granny and your tires will last a long long long time!

Yeah I do drive like a granny but when I floor it in first they squeel even when hot. I couldnt see me putting down 100Kw more.

with a big grin on my face leaving two very long black lines behind

running 225 18's, also have a boost controller fitted so i'm usually in low boost= 0.8bar making +- 260kw and 400nm

p.s these figures was with the old t61 bush turbo, no dyno yet since change to GT35

12.3sec 1/4 was run on 225/50/15 BF goodridge semis with loads of wheelspin, hence ive just ordered a set of Mickey Thompson ET streets 235/60/15 the extra traction from those should see me into the 11's on my current setup. might have the new forged motor running before the next meeting tho. hoping for alot more power then: closer to 600HP and 800NM

Dont you think its gonna be a bitch to take it sideways???

I mean huge heavy engine in the front...loads of tire shredding...smoke pop pop pop...

or aren't you into the drifting thing?

havent tried yet, but seen video's of quinsley drifting a RB25 R31 skyline
personally i'm more into drag racing

Ja I saw that too but there is a bit more weight all round in the R31.

I think its gotta be insanely hard drifting a s13 with a RB25DET conversion. I know Ian struggled with his s14 and thats easier than a s13.

But anyway...your setup looks awesome mate and I'd love to feel the g's in your car!

Top Stuff!

That is some really good work there! Let us know how the track day goes!

Hanco, thanks

Not sure that it would be insanely hard. I do understand that the s13 under steers and that the extra weight upfront wont help, how ever with a good set of coil overs and the strut bars would help alleviate sum of that. With the extra power, when you get into the corner you can use the power to get it to slide(obviously once the weight shift begins). So initiation of the drift plausible. Where i think it gets tricky once you are sideways with all that power the throttle control becomes interesting. especially when the boost hits in this monster!!
