My CA18 Drift Vidz

[cbh148]

So I entered a local drift event on Saturday. My CA couldn't have served me any better. Started right up every time, had "SR-like" power, and didn't overheat or cause any problems, even with the hot Alabama summer environment. The only time I had to pop the hood was to top off my power steering fluid, which leaks from a stainless steel braided line I had made to replace the pressure hose (probably gonna get a new rubber hose since the stainless line leaks no matter how tight you get the fittings). Also, my vacuum line for my BOV slipped off, hence why you can't hear it in the videos.

With as much hell as this engine has given me since I embarked on this project, it was extremely gratifying to have a fun day like this.

NICE!!! I'm glad to see that you stuck with it and got it all sorted out. Another CA lives.

How much boost are you running i that video ?

[cbh148]

How much boost are you running i that video ?

Around ~13 psi, using a Hallman manual boost controller. The car was running 110 octane leaded race gas for the event.

[s13drifter88]

Leaded = Mad O2!!!

[cbh148]

Yeah i know, but it's a brand new Bosch sensor. Hell, Tucker and Studders run leaded race gas in their SR's every saturday night when we go drifting. I just didnt want to risk detonating since I just turned the boost up the night before. It felt so good though!

[s13drifter88]

Sunoco on winchester rd has 110 unlead for $9.xx a gal

[cbh148]

What about the Sunoco right by Huntsville Speedway?

[s13drifter88]

What sunoco by huntsville speedway? They just have sunoco leaded 100

[cbh148]

There used to be one down there in that area back in the day. But they do sell it at the speedway?

[s13drifter88]

Yeah leaded

[cbh148]

I've got a lot of videos of me drifting the CA over the past couple of months that I forgot to update this thread with. Enjoy!

That smoke at 2:46 makes me want to go work on my car right now and its like -5 outside right now.

[cbh148]

do it! there's a shortage of drift people here in the ca18 section, so get out there and get to sliding ASAP.

and get pics/vids when you do!

[Sideways s12]

Thank you Sir that kept me entertained at my boring job lol kept me from falling asleep lol

[float_6969]

Perfect! Drift vids before I go to bed. There will be good dreams tonight for sure!

[Liquid_Neon]

Somebody win the lottery and give it to me.. i need an awd ca18 driftin pulsar nx :P

Slick vids, nice to see some ca's hangin it out there.

[float_6969]

Are there any functional AWD NX's in the US? It HAS to be a difficult conversion.

I don't know how to imbed

[mdb4879]

Idk about an AWD CA Pulsar, but there was a guy in Kentucky who had an AWD SR Pulsar. I can't remember too many details, but as memory serves someone else did the conversion using a GTi-R powertrain and a B12 AWD rear subframe and drivetrain, he bought the car and started a huge project turning it into an SR23DET monster. He got too many projects going and had to scrap the project. It was a sad, sad day on nissanexa.com.

[Liquid_Neon]

I dunno what one your talking about, but fatmanracing built that sort of a setup and it ran around fine. He was hitting 13's before the awd, haha. He sold the car to someone on the sr-sentra forums, as far as i know it got beat to hell and popped the motor a few years later. I was chitchattin on da phone recently about this car actually..haha.
If i had the budget I would already have it done!! B12 4wd wagons aren't THAT rare...

[mdb4879]

I was talking about Don Kinney's car. He's Tooqikk on the EXA forum. I actually bought an E16 Pacesetter header and an E16 Isky reground cam from him a couple years ago. Here's his thread: http://www.nissanexa.com/showthread.php ... bcdb45e360

After looking at the first page it turns out he's the one who bought fatmanracing's old car, lol.

[cbh148]

i would kill myself if i was stuck with awd. i enjoy countersteering too much.

[mdb4879]

Idk, I think zero-countersteer drifting is pretty ballin'. I can't wait until I'm good enough to do it in a RWD

If you want some serious angle, though, you should go FWD. If you kick it out too far just slam on the gas and let the front wheels pull the car back around. Man, if my gold Pulsar had the CA in it I'd post my hektik skids, but it had the wrong motor so I guess it wouldn't fit in this thread, lol

[float_6969]

Meh, if the OP is fine with it, I'm fine with it. It's somewhat on topic, and if I'm OK with it, then what does it matter? LOL

[mdb4879]

OP. permission to display the Huntsville famed FWD drift sensation?... Ah what the hell, I'm sure you won't mind.

My Pulsar buttery a**-drag:

I can never seem to embed a video, so idk what's up with that.

[float_6969]

LMFAO, that's funny stuff.

[cbh148]

Lol that s*** was so funny. wish I would've been standing at a better angle in the video where I was recording so I could've really captured how you scrubbed the outside curb.

[mdb4879]

Clippin' tyre, like a boss!!! lol

Yeah, it seemed like any time someone other than me touched my phone the camera wouldn't save anything. That was total crap. If only I had a Go Pro.

[TheMAN]

so I learned from watching these vids that Alabamans like to drive their 240s with their headlights on.. it lets them get extra styling points drifting...
