Oh yee Nr1 build, i like it too much, its as my dreams come true, you combine the right elements, s13 rear, 1uzfe. nothing sounds better its like the sound of old cosworth DFY f1 engine when done properly. Man i soo envious its not mine

its only for track or it will see also streets?



p.s. hehe, if i build one in two years i am not so original then .

Astonishingly, it looks a lot like most of my own welding work.
Although I dont think I have the balls to undertake such a conversion at the moment.

[robokill]

my god! looks like its suppose to be there. Allignment seems the same

Great job!

[Conrad]

Awesome Roco, I assume your building in new rear strut towers then?

Already commented on Driftworks but here it goes again:

Nica ride Roco, need a really serious guy to start such amazing project, my personal taste would go for a F20C or 3S-GE but its a JDM engine so its ok

How the rear axle of s13 weighs? (compared to the original)
because I thinks it can be a realy good alternative for a big setup if it's not too heavy

[Dimitri]

the weights not so much of an issue, even if its more altogether, its less unsprung weight. if anything will maybe help to balance the car with the large motor.

having said that i have a friend here who runs a 1uz in his 86, and although its a great car, good power and reliable, it has changed the character of the car, doesnt seem as responsive handling wise. so its not so much of an 86 any more.. but is a great drift car still.

thanks guys, its only for the track, i have the rear towers built, and rear sus is finnished, ill get pics up soon. the rear axle is a bit heavyer than the stock axle, not sure on weight diffrence, but is good for about 500hp, so i have to comprimise with weight for strenght.
