Everyone starts somewhere, and in this guy's case - he probably didn't have enough steering lock to recover from the spin. ALSO I did smush in his minty minty fresh corolla - he's a buddy but he lost his cool a bit and we laughed about it later.

Keep drifting fun, y'know?

Oh dang, your car is up and running? Sweet.

[D-sport S12]

[Prolowtone]

So in addition to re-doing my 240sx rear end, I also decided to finally investigate my cooling options.. Heres what happened

• Gutted and chopped out upper rad support
• Cut off headlight motors and solid mounted headlights into upright position
• Built custom containment cage for intercooler and rad (all mounted with ballermatic metric hardware)

Still do to:

• Custom front bumper rebar to hold bumper skin/crash bar
• Mount new H4 headlights
• Plumb some IC pipes
• New rad hoses (have the lower, need to source an upper that will fit)
• Clean up some wiring

this is sick dude. really portrays what i was trying to make instead of a V mount i might be doing something similar to mine because my 1j gets hot sideways. if you dont mind.

your s12 is looking bad ass though.

[RB25sx - SLPR]

Thanks David, since doing this upgrade I have had almost no cooling issues - and when I did it was because I have a very minor headgasket leak and was running low on coolant :S . That lower bar also acts as an excellent cow-catcher and protects your IC/rad from tires, bumpers, debris etc.



So.. Not to say I am putting the S12 on the backburner, but I picked up a neat new project for a steal of a deal.. And by that I mean it was a theft recovery, hence the missing parts.. As of today I have it running and driving, still needs seats, headlights and a trunk though.

man, i wish i lived in canada.
so what are your plans for the R32?

[David B]

id rape it on the track.

[RB25sx - SLPR]

It IS getting tracked.. I think it has a clutch type diff and it definitely has coilovers.. Need to delete the HICAS and put in a set of racing buckets. It is 5 bolt too so all my wheels/tires will transfer over to it no problem - I even have a set of stock R32 wheels.

[D-sport S12]

let me drift this lol, drifted one before, it was pretty easy but also seemed underpowered when stock

[RB25sx - SLPR]

After maybe 10 laps with the skyline I got fed up with it, drove to my shop, swapped wheels, drove S12 back.. Now thats a better drift car..

S12 > skyline

ive driven some 240's and such and a few corollas but i cant get over how much fun s12's are. perfect wheelbase/weight ratio for higher hp engines.

honestly s12's take inline 6's with not to many problems. i dont really even think of all the weight up there.

[D-sport S12]

fuck i can't wait to drift mine again

[RB25sx - SLPR]

We are going to be having a private drift session day for ~6 people next week.. Should be some sick footage from that..

Hit a 300 pound tractor tire with rear quarter, trying to get close to an amigo with a flag..

Rear quarter is fubar. Toe arms look to be bent. Car is crab walking.
