it still has the front bumper frame and the full chassis rails, all i have cut out are the inner guards and the rad support panel,

but wether the rad support or inner guards were there if i hit something that hard it would be stuffed anyhow, plus if i built my ute being worried about crashing it i wouldnt have built a drift car

yeah but did you keep in mind chassy regitity and street or track legality.

[drftn13]

yes it has a full cage with supports coming through the firewall to the towers, plus braces from the a pillar up to the strut tower,
its legal how it is here, plus most race silvias i have seen are all done the same, as far as to drift i see no reason why its not legal, its built just like a racecar and i cant find any rules that sudgest its illegal for drift,

drftn13, i have been looking for one of those hoods for a LONG time, is it a custom job, it not where can i get one??? thanx for the help! p.s. do they have carbon fiber ones, anyone????

[my 1 88 u]

well can't wait to see it finished and in action

[drftn13]

there are plenty of fiberglass and carbon hoods availible in the states, so if you do a little searching you will come up with some nice stuff,
all i could find here in NZ was plain non vented ones so i gave it a shot at making one, still needs a lot more work but it will be ok once i have finnished it.

what kind of engine are you going to drop in there?

[drftn13]

there is a VQ35DE going in there, it will be na for a while and ill see how it goes, may have to turbo it but i really want to try na, last 2 seasons were with a sr20det so time for a change.

[rb20]

How much power do you reckon i could get out an na rb25de, because ive got an r32 gts25, do you reckon its a stupid idea to try and syphon power out of it and just go for the turbo engine transplant?

[drftn13]

i dont think it will be worth the effort , you will need high compession pistons and still wont be up with a standard rb25det,
rb25det is the better option i think

Cant wait to see the finshed product. How much longer is it going to be in the build?.Will it be a the puke round?

good luck with it

[drftn13]

the first pukekohe round is not till june so yes it will definatly be there, im trying to get it all ready for round 1 in march, but thats in christchurch, so its going to be close trying to find $$ for it all, but hey it will be so worth it when its done.
i have had a few talks with a local tyre shop about a small sponsorship deal so hopefully somethings happens there,
but if i get it finnished in time for round 1 ill be more than happy

[driftex]

you guys are in new zealand right? that swap sounds sweet. how hard & expensive is that swap? why dont you try to get a big sponsership, with a car like your it should be no problem. BTW what kind of suspension are you running on your car?
