You could just put a windsor in if you wanted more power.


Don't the D1GP run nitrous? I can't imagine it being safe to do so with your average dry kit though.

Although it was you that brought in the gay jokes, you don't think thats a childrens taunt? More so the reply of calling me a arse ramming tryhard? That's not childish? I think you need to take a long look at yourself buddy, you're the one that's acting offended here..I 'll leave this comment then head of into the world without a second thought about your comments. Where as I'm sure you'll be back with more distasteful "insults" and your buddies will try to back you up, when the only person who realises actually how much of a loser you're making yourself out to be.

Cheers, Tim.

I can certainly understand those concerns but I think this is one of those cases where theory and practice aren't quite the same.

I'm not a 'nitrous guy' as such, I will never put nitrous on my skyline for example, but I would love to put it on matt's eb and see how it goes at a Friday night QR practice.

cant u set nitrous to activated at certain throttle positions? id look more at 70-75% throttle. would be interesting to see it done but not as effectie as a turbo setup due to having to refill bottles, backfires as mentioned etc.

can we keep it on topic??

This is on topic. Fitting nitrous to your car would be part of setting up the car for drifting. You can not focus on only one area of the car for it to be an effective drifter.

Cartz, do you have any other videos of you drifting on a track?

Nitrous backfires are most commonly caused by human error, meaning that dumb **** shouldn't be using oxidising agents, at the drags, a nitrous backfire is generally caused when someone stalls their car and forgets that they have to turn off the nitrous, on their solenoid operated nitrous system before starting the car, now the solenoid activates the nitrous at what ever throttle position it is set to inject nitrous into the motor at, which at the strip is full throttle, and the poor basterd in his haste to restart his shitta puts the foot flat forgeting about the giggle gas, and when the motor fires it has a belly full of nitrous and pretty well explodes resulting in you no longer having a bonnet or intake manifold. the rest of nitrous caused from a bad setup or running to much nitrous for the given amount of fuel, or running a "too" big of a shot of nitrous and bending or breaking rods.

It is not the product, its the application and the set up that causes blown motors and wallets when using nitrous.

how reliable is n2o? does it develop problems frequently or can u set it up and forget about it? fair enough to use it in a straight line for a few seconds but how would it hold up out on a hot track all day?

BI6TIM, a mate has a lost memory card in his house with more vidz on it so no, not really. hoping to get back on track on the 17th october with budget turbo setup

In the long run I'd think a mild turbo setup would be better, refilling n2o would slowly add up if you're a regular competitor. That and it'd be much easier to control rather than getting a kick out of nowhere regardless of rpm..

I think nitrous would make things worse than do much more good, i think adding boost would be more simple than adding nitrous to a drift car

No such thing as handling right with a 6cyl in an S-chassis car. My 200 will never have anything other than SR20 in it. If it breaks again while drifting it will not drift again, simple.

Back on topic of handling, if you want to greatly improve the handling of your falcon, put an SR20 in it! Throw some Pedders coil overs in the front and my custom King springs and Oztec shocks in the back. 30mm front sway bar and 28mm rear bar (which I can also supply for you). That would be a sweat setup for drift.
All that stuff above would also be sweet in a falcon even without an SR20 :P


How did you know about the Pedders coilies? They didn't come out till Sept 2010?

Hey Guys,

I brought lock spacers for my falcon, put them in, and only really achieved 4 degree more lock cause of my sway bar,

I have a set if you wanna try them rollin, if you put a 30mm spacer on you should be able to get the extra 15 degree more lock.

Would be awesome :)

My wheels already hit my swaybar! 4ord4u, try using bolt on spacers with e-series offset wheels and see if that gets you more lock? You might need to take your front quarter panels off to try, but it would be interesting.

I reckon you could do some cool stuff with AU suspension but of course you have to fit it first :/


Hey Guys,

I brought lock spacers for my falcon, put them in, and only really achieved 4 degree more lock cause of my sway bar,

I have a set if you wanna try them rollin, if you put a 30mm spacer on you should be able to get the extra 15 degree more lock.

Would be awesome :)


We have fitted them to my mates. He has 18x9.5 +12 with 25mm spacers. It only touchs sway bar jacked up but no where near on the ground. Gained about an extra 10-15degs lock. Its done a couple of private test track runs and 2 laps of the track with out an issue.

It has almost has as much as my old r31 which had lock spacers, and s13 knuckles with 10mm cut out of them
