NEW "PASHN8" OWNER

[SIR-JD]

Hey guys, Jonathan here...

I have just purchased dino's ESR/EVO, and just wanted to intro myself to team4g as i know alot of you guys would have seen the build up of my new car .
This is my 8 jap/import car, but all of them have been nissans apart from a s5 rx7 and a huchi. So i will need a hand in getting my head around the workings of my new love for the mitsu :roll: .

Regards, Jonathan

hey thanks guys!

yeh it was a great buy, it has a few nigeling problems at the moment but they are being fixed as we speak at tech sport

as for the 1/4 mile, i am more of a track man myself. but hey if it get the chance i would in a second.

as for draging one you guys, why not? im not one to back down - but i may want to wait untill i convert it to RWD and get a re-tune to 22psi, so i have a good 300rwkw+...

thanks again guys.

regards, jonathan

 

[olly]

but you need the awd! hehe

 

[SIR-JD]

hehe yeh i have been hearing that alot

but i have always been a drifter/track at heart, way back when it wasnt herd of and there was only 5 of us out there. so i cant help myself...

 

[CLuTZ]

Whats wrong with AWD drifting???

 

[olly]

haha awd drifting just reminds me of the tacky gtr drifting in the initial d movie

 

[SIR-JD]

hehe yeh, i have now actualy been able to take for a good boot for the first time on lysterfield road i know what you mean by awd drift... i am now having second thought about the rwd. i got a quote from techsport and it ended up about $2500 but there are going to be problems like the transfer case being to week and the same with the LSD plates. soooo not sure.

it wont be cheap to do, although there are cheap ways of doing it

i can get you a viscous coupling eliminator which will lock your centre diff, you can then remove the front shafts and voila!!! rwd..
the only problem, u'll need to block the shafts somehow and then it comes down to how long your rear diff will last in rwd mode!

there are some vids of a rwd vr4 doing a burnout, and also a rwd vr4 in the drift comp..

u gonna be competing with this car?

Congrats with the purchase of that car. I love that thing so much, so much care taken in the build process, looks beautiful. You wont be dissapointed.

Leave it AWD! :lol:

Yeh that sounds about right, they quoted $2500 including a evo3 lsd. but i think this will just make to many weak points in the car... so i am having second thoughts at the moment.
If i do go through with it i will most likely compeat... cant help myself hehe

thanks maloven, yeh she is a nice one.

P.S she is going on the dyno on the 17th and getting another 4psi tunned onto her . cant wait.


regards, jonathan

no worries with the transfer case mate

vr4 has had a rally one (50/50) for about a year now with no issues. it's done the diff (4 bolt lsd) once and it sounds like it's on it's way out again

so no issues with transfer case but diffs might cost a bit.. $2500 is a bit rich though....

A commodore would have been alot cheaper and its RWD already :?

 

[lefty]
