VS Drift Ute

[djaa]

Today is a good day as I remember drifting at QR in my VS Ute 3800, Yes 3800.

Cars mods at the time - R31 2 way LSD, new Suspension, CAI, Pacemaker headers, 2.5 exhaust, billet short shifter, Recaro style bucket seats and the handbrake has been modified so it is in the middle(Used to be a three seater)

Tommorow is gonna be even better as now I have K-mac adjustable Strut Hats, Whiteline adjustable heavyduty swaybars, and she'll soon be intercooled and Raptor blown. More vids to come.

I can't wait to be shredding the rubber.................

First time out with the blower, now supporting 217 rwkw and 480nm torque

is it just for drift or a streeter?

[maldotcom2]

Nice one mate. It's certainly fun getting sideways with a nice tight limo. Get some vids from outside the car as well.

[old mate]

do you have any issues with oil surge?

[djaa]

She's my daily drive. Sorry no vids from outside the car as yet. the only problems I've had is a blown fuse when I gave the curbing a bit of knock

CIRCLE WORK IS THE DRIFTERS RIGHT OF PASSAGE

Thanks guys

[old mate]

[djaa]

PM your e-mail address and I'll send it " Bloodstains - Glue Gun"

[old mate]

Sorry bout the long reply, No man the atmosphere out there is great. Just be courteous on the track and everybody has a ball. There are some really shiit drivers out there trying to learn as well. But at least there having a fair crack of the whip.

thay have at QR, 1 Fryday night drift session every month, every second sunday they have 2 sessions on a new small track (8am -12, the Nisspro drivers are there to help with technique and 12:30 -4:30pm, open practice) and there are private days once months limited to 30 drivers(no waiting times) and they mix the track up on these days.

Cheer

I like it because that when she was a stock 3800, with new suspension and Kaaz 2-way locker that's it. Once I tame the new beast should start getting some sick smoke.

Cheers mate

More too come...

[commycrew]

Good work mate, my piece of **** auto box can't do anything! hahaha, just a quick question, the diff your running, is that just the diff gears from a 31 2 way? Or is it the whole rear axle? Cheers matey.

Everything in diff is original except the crown has been replaced with KAAZ, (dag2890 I think the model is from memory) which is the same crown out of an R31, axles are the same, ring gear and pinion original, however 3-4mm needs to be machined off the the pinion gear for it to fit.

Cheers

[djaa]

[Ross D.]

good work mate. how do you have your suspension set up?

[djaa]

At the moment I am just running king springs with pedders big bore(48mm) shocks, whiteline adjustable swaybars and tower brace, and K-mac adjustable tower tops. Going to be updating to linear rate custom springs to get rid of that annoying soft bit of pre-load which can make it a bit unpredictable at times. Cheers

[djaa]

First decent piccy of the kickin it.
