s13 weight distribution?

[apEsHht]

I was wondering what i could do to make the front end of my 92' s13 fast back lighter for an rb25 swap? i searched but i didnt find anyhting.

[Joe]

why?

the rb swaps do not hurt it that bad.

[apEsHht]

really? i dunno i have that mentality like once i do the rb swap its gunna have issues with understeer... im looking to make it an auto cross/street car.

your car is sick! nice swap. is the rb worth the werk?

[Joe]

it dosent have understeer issues.

"worth the work" is relative lol. i love my car, but if i didnt have a daily driver i would never do a RB. and thanks for the compliments.

my daily driver and only car is my RB swap and sometimes.

weight distribution for my RB20 fastback is 57/43... here are my corner weights



*note... I do have **** taken out of my car so don't think your exactly the same.

Go on a diet! Having a full tank of gas disturbs weight distribution more than any motor swap.

I put mine on the same diet. Some people still dont get it when I tell them no drinks in the car, bc I dont want them to stain the carpet, hehe.

-battery relocation kit to rear of car ($50)-convert front end to Silvia ($900)-remove bumper support (free, until you hit someone and die)-Carbon fiber hood ($450)-Carbon fiber fenders ($500-800)-Carbon fiber bumper ($500)

or driving school. I think you could go to a nice driving school where they teach you how to drive in your car, and it would probably cost a lot less than the above mods and get you more bang for the buck.

i drive an rb swapped s13 coupe daily ive probly put 45,000 miles onit since i bought it and i love every minute of it. its tough in the summer with the black leather and no a/c but you can have a/c with the swap if you want, i was told the shop i bought it from could hook mine up for $450.00. its alot of fun i recommend it.

I ditched AC and PS, seems if I just did either a CF hood of a battery relocation, then I wouldnt have a weight distribution problem.

I wouldnt consider it a problem anyways, since I dont notice any difference in handling whatsoever.

there is no distribution problem to begin with.

a GOOD set of coil overs , with ride height set , corner balance and scaled to you needs and some treaking on the damping will take care of it. Very frew drivers can tell the differance between stock and a RB power car handling...

LOL, understeer has never even crossed my mind. My RB25 S14 handles like no other car I've ever driven. Granted, I haven't driven a S2000, but understeer is not a problem.

Oversteer.... now we can talk.

damn thanks for the feed back guyz this site is awesome! now i want the rb more than ever. just got one more thing with the mckinney mounts is the shifter still placed forward (like when using the r33 cross member) or is it in the stock postion? also do you still have to dent the firewall for clearance? sorry for asking so much im a newb to the rb scene.

[jrb92se]

mckinney mounts are way too exspensive imo, they better leave the shifter in the stock position for that much money. i dont know what kind of mounts i have, (i think xat made them) but my shifter is in the right spot. i also dont think my firewall was dented to make the rb fit, but it is tight up against it, not touching it but very close.
