also off topic...
but i've personally drifted bruno's s13 powered by RB25det. ok it was pretty much a stock rb25det when i drove it, but it put down over 200kw's to the wheels. not sure of Nm's.
he had some front chassis stiffening done, and the car had tien basic coilovers on at the time. it was one of the easiest cars i've ever had the pleasure of throwing sideways!!! just so simple. and so much speed. i dont mean power, i mean speed. for instance, on a highway onramp we were doing 80km/h, i saw a gap and planted it. i only looked back at the clocks once we were dodging traffic going the same direction BUT coming towards us. this was because in the short distance of the freeway onramp, and a short stretch of straight tar, we were already over 220km/h. i backed off quickly when i saw the spedo!!!
as for being heavy in front. it really wasnt a problem, even with only the basic tein's on. i was immensely impressed, and had i not found such a great deal on the sr20det, i would probably still be saving for an RB25det. it really really is a great drift car!!! im sure its also a great drag car...
and i will go out there and say that with a stockish RB25det it must be one of the best EVER everyday cars - 'cept for fuel consumption! but you forget about that nonsense so quickly with a car like that!
