hey bro.. nice ride n motor swap clean...if I were to swap a VH45DE which years would you recommend and if we use a Z32 tranny will we have a CEL with the Q45 ECU? I have a 95 S14 and seems like VH45DE are more reliable than a RB25 lol

Stupid queston...If the goal of drifting is to get the car sideways, wouldn't you want less tire on the road, not as wide as possible? Does the wider tire give more predictible traction? Seems harder on the engine to me but I suppose once the tires break loose it's not that bad. I guess it just goes against common sense. Please enlighten me...

I read an article about this some time ago... it said it's not so much about tyre width, as contact patch surface area.The weight from that corner of the car acting down on the wheel doesn't change... and by widening the tyre, you reduce the length of the contact patch, making it wider across the surface of the tyre. In cornering, when camber changes and weight shifts off the wheel, you can imagine this strip of contact patch narrowing to a small area, as opposed to a narrower tyre where a more elongated section of contact patch would theoretically remain. Basically, there is an optimal width tyre for each application, taking into account the other factors such as weight and suspension geometry. Once you go wider than that you are changing contact patch shape during cornering, but with a less optimal result. This is also dependent on suspension settings of course. Will try dig up the article, it was a good read!

hey jerry quick question, looking back on page 8 of this thread, i was wondering what the cast iron bracket is that you are using for the lower alternator bracket? i have the upper piece and the tensioner, just can't seem to locate that part?

The alternator bracket is a completly custom piece lol, i hacked apart a ka and an sr alternator bracket, then welded them together, then welded that to the original vh alternator tensioner, then powdercoated it for bling factor lol
