Drifting a Q45?

[elwesso]

i

I remember doing this once... well twice actually... its rather fun... but i have question... won't the ABS get in the way of the drifting?...

Theres 2 words....... It begins with a "P" and ends with an "ull the fuse"

I remember him talking about that project....we haven't seen him in a while. I still don't think I understand the logic of swapping in an RB in rather than staying with the VH.

yeah well things came up i stopped working on it for a while.. now I'm back and trying to get it running b4 Oct1st.. for a drift event..the reason i have the RB is b/c of its proven background and after market support. if only looking for around 300rhp and that's pretty easy to make with an RB25. is not sure how much my Q weights now but i know i can push it around my drive way easier then i can my friend S13 but I'm sure it still weighs around 3200 i dunno after i get it tuned and street able I'm going to try and weigh it, i'm vary interested to see what it weighs with all the crap i took out of it active suspension and ABS and other stuff. I'm still using stock fuel tank, and running the stock passenger seat for right now.Hopefuly i can get it running b4 Oct1st and get some videos for u guys..( its going to be pushing it i still need a drive shaft and to tune it and get it running right) yes i know the Q isn't the best platform for a drift car but like i said when i started i wanted something that not many ppl would have.

I like your commitment to being different!(Hey, I own a car that in this part of the world, draws more quizzical looks than Vanilla Ice walking around in Kenya!)

Would love to hear more about this project. Pics?

It would be so cool to have the skidpad vid of Wes, continually looped from 46 to 56 seconds for an avatar.

I agree, id make it my avatar if i could figure out how to do it.

I have sort of an emotional attachment to the Kramer though

But... stripping it for drift specific purposes just strikes me as amusing. The thing is a yacht, a tanker, a tank... it's a big mofo. Asking for its stripped weight is a little bit like asking whether stripping a battle ship of its armor, weapons, and crew would make for a good off-shore racer.

car weightQ45 3960 V8Supra 3580 I6Skyline 3500 I6G35 3380-3520 (depending on model) V6

so i figure after the weight is out their not really going to be huge difference. and their more weight that i can take out but i'm not worried about it right now. this is just a practice car, its like test and tune. then next one will have changes and so forth.
