First time drifting with an RB25

- Where to begin lol. Here's my story:
Now to begin with I had an exhaust leak before the turbo which means decrease in power. On top of that I had steering issues with the wheels rubbing (put smaller spacers in and didn't hammer out the fender wells) where it would hit my wheel which meant it didn't counter steer by itself so I had to try to do it myself. Also there were SOO many drifters. I only had 9 total runs.... So I picked my best run of the day which was bad lol but you can hear how AWESOME RB's sound.
Got motor 5 days before the event, we quickly rushed to get the motor in before the event. Everything seemed to be going great. ALL parts came in time EXCEPT my driveshaft... Asked the company what's up 2 days before the event.. Said the guy got sick who makes the driveshafts. He told me theres another shop that can make one, but I had to overnight the driveshaft in the morning of the event. Quickly we put the driveshaft in, all good. Next thing, wouldnt go into gear. Fixed that. Coolant started leaking from bad hose. Fixed that. Yay off to the track I went, 4 hours late lol. - Авто та транспорт
Hell yeah man! I just got my SR out on the road a couple weeks ago, can't wait to do some more modification and start practicing!
Damn, you actually got the rb in!
So many just say they want to, but you did it!
You are a hero!
Just get more camber up front, because slammed.
Yeah very true. Guess it just comes down to personal preferences & opinions. Good luck with your build.
Massive turbo pressure ❤️
WELCOME BACK BRO!!!!!!!!!!!! We missed ya man and glad to see everything is fixed and you be back on that drift lane.
That looks like such a fun track!
can't wait for more, engine sounds siiiickkkk...
Steering is a little angry - the RB made my s13 nose heavy too. Put the battery in the back and try to get a lighter hood and you know... :) -
love your videos, i subscribed! keep em comin
Sweet vid bro. Glad to see you out on a track and not in the street endangering your life and others. Nice work. :)
sounds like you had a choatic week! glad everything came out okay!
Good to see you have a decent power plant now.
Nice vid man!
veryyy nicee drift hope to see another video soon
your car just got sexier :D
grats on the rb25
good to see u drifting again
welcome to the rb25 club brother!
you'll get used to the RB soon. Keep those videos coming!
The sound of the RB, oh so unique..
Thanks. Yea its awesome because of low end torque. Gonna get some getting use to but its gonna be awesome when I do.
I can't really judge your run, because I haven't drifted myself yet. I have a rb30 but no lsd or welded diff. It does look like you had fun and that's the whole idea. Keep it up, screw the haters.
smooth as
Hard luck bro, better luck next time. rb sounds mean
The RB is heavier yes which lowered my front some which caused me to rub places. Also my steering rack rod that goes to the steering wheel is practically sitting on the turbo elbow lol so that's why the car isnt counter steering like it should. Like it suppose to counter steer by itself but it just kinda stops and I have to do it myself.
Sounds good
read the description kid, this guy is actually a really good drifter
You are so lucky to have that car
Why did it look like the car drifted better with the sr20 is the balance thrown off due to the weight and positioning of the rb?
only the greatest motor ever made. :D
I can see now that it is hard to get used to a new engine, am I right? xD
Cool vid, love your car and driving!
Great love it!
inspiration to me :D
Thanks!
nice driving :)
For sure the RB :D
Does it feel better than the sr20 to drift in
how often do you all have track days over there I wish we had it like that here in houston
Did that rb25 bolt right into ur 240? because i got the same 240 and i was wondering if i would have to do any modifications to the motor mounts? or dose it just bolt right in
How do you like the RB?
I want something with a strong aftermarket, and something that's good for doing Power Over initiations. Would an RB be good for what I want?
Nice, throw in an old VL commodore block, with the rb25 head for some crazy rb30 action!
Use to SR bro lol, Rb more power brother
how did u get into the world of cars/drifting and how long have u been into cars. and how old are u?
my old sr motor sat for around 6 years and it ran like it was brand new i regret selling my s13 the car was a monster and your rb should be perfectly fine my only advise would be to change the rocker arms and get a cam with deeper lobes on it they help out a lot make it so you dont have to run such high boost id keep it around 12-14 my sr was on 17-18 and i bent a lot of rocker arms and chipped cams a bunch so they are with out a doubt worth it
what do you need to get into these events, other than a car and helmet obviously?
An RB30E Engine in a 1986 Nissan Skyline R31 or 1988 Holden Commodore VL (what i've got). The VLs are Australian and can come from factory with a turbo. There is a Wiki page on why the Nissan engine is in the Holden VL, but I can't remember by heart. Something to do with Unleaded fuel.
Whats better out of a RB 30 or RB 25?
How are the zerolift mounts? Do they vibrate a lot?
I didn't really get to feel the full power but it's awesome. It didnt get too much nose heavy but defiantly did, may have to lower my rear more haha.
Nice description :)
Sounds nicer, easy to get more power out of it.
Does it feel much different than the Sr?
Like it better than the SR? Looks a bit more challenging to control.
AH! MightCarMods, that is probably what I was referring to I just couldn't remember the channel.
Thanks for the heads up.
This was probably mentioned somewhere else, but why swap the sr20 for a rb25? Why not a rb26, rb20, 1jz, etc?
Hey man rb vs sr which do you like better so far?
Does the RB pass emissions where you are?
Is the RB really better than the SR for drifting? I've heard mixed opinions, but mostly the SR is waaaaay lighter and seems better for drifting. Have you noticed any major difference in weight and handling?
Yea, I heard about that. But why did he choose the rb25? Was it because it was cheap? Reliable? Why not get another SR20?
nice :D
yeah, but v8's have so much power and torque and its so easy to drift with them that they just take all the fun out of it!
Please do a Tutorial on how to drift. I see so many different methods. I wanna know how you do it.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttt
So, how does it compare to the SR20? A lot easier to drift i guess?
Is it more front end heavy now?
Looks as though you are experiencing some understeer now. Is the RB heavier than the SR? Or is the different spacing of the front tires now what effected it? Just seems like compared to all your other vids, you have to steer into the slide more to get it to slide out.
YEAA
Also the Series 2 Rb25 engines from the late model R33's and R34's have different intakes compared to the earlier Series 1 RB25 engines. I've already built 500+HP Skyline engines with my friend carlos whos in the D1NZ drift series.
how are you handling the gain of hp?
from a honda del sol owner... you sir have a badass 240, and make badass videos. keep up the good video work. love the shots from outside and behind the driver like you did. what camera do you use?
the motor swap changed your front end. the front ways alot more so its possible you need to change so suspension settings. but the swap will be well worth it the in man keep going.
When you wire up an RB harness into an S-chassis sometimes the rpm's don't work.
Yes, I have seen one in a Toyota Cressida. 1JZ engines are reasonably affordable in Australia and there is a 1JZ engine swap into a cressida on mightycarmods, Mightycarmods bought a half-cut from japan and the cressy for a total build cost of $3000. Check it out on their channel.
rb= eargasm. nice description tho lol...
I found an s14 with an rb25 that i like. Did u have any problems getting your car registered with that engine?
Looks like he drifted with the sr20 better?
Sweet !
Do you prefer clutchkick or handbrake ?
need mounts, pretty sure for rb conversion to s chassis you need to change or modify your tailshaft
where did you buy your gauges from??
1JZ's and it's running gear in 'prime' condition is probably worth more then the actual car itself. They're highly sort after because of it's tuning options and raw standard power peak ratios.
If you find a 1JZ and it's going cheap then there's a problem with it, unless it's one of those '1 in a million' finds lol
Amazing engines though, ever seen one planted into a Toyota Cressada?
Welcome back, upload some street footage with it.
Also does your dash taco work? lol dident seem to move
Geez. That was still pretty nice drifting for last minute fixes to the car. Hope you work out all the little issues. Does it feel any different from before?
Valera you're my idol
Have you ever used the handbrake while doing all this?
how come you dont upload anymore vids?
As long as the RB25 is from the same year or newer as the SR20 it should still be street legal.. Emissions just need to be the same for that year or newer.
ok, fair point, but alot of people tune them to way over the 450hp mark and dont even have to try! maybe you wont! but when youre underpowered and you finally drift a big ass turn like the v8 guy's can its far more rewarding! especially after weeks of tuning and adding bits and pieces!
What are those gauges? :) They look sick
Noooo, you have to get mounts. I got mounts called "zerolift" good company.
Just wondering, where do you get an RB30 from??
You'd be surprised with what engines come out of Japan that people don't know of :) 4 cylinder ones just seem the most common these days due to the whole eco friendly crap. Shame they don't make the old V12's, V8's and 6 cylinders like they use to do.
10,200 pts with a 500 pt bonus and a 2X combo. Grand total of... 21,400 pts. Well done. Like a sir! :{?
A 26 is a little harder to work with, being AWD you have to work around removing that, (some come with a sensor you pull out for the front diff) But the custom work that would have to be done is a lot for a guy on a budget, RB25=RWD, Smaller and still fun.,
what car is this? watched a few vids but you never said and a dash / door panel view doesnt help :P
How much hp you spittin'?
Nice . All the problems u had with the car seem very expensive
I never said they weren't in R33's. I said they were ALSO in R34's. The person i was replying to said R34's only had RB26DETT engines when that was only the GTR version. And no, My brother was the head manager at NizBits Mazda and Nissan wreckers in New Zealand. One of the largest nissan wreckers here.
looks like you were better off with an sr. you push tires a lot more with the heavier motor and the slides look a lot sloppier. not hating, just observing. sounds great though
RB25 is from a skyline right??
Yea it was... Didnt really wanna upload them but I sacrificed for you guys ;)
Mate your rev counters stopped working! LOL
