450sx part 2

[CrazyTrance]

Sounds good man! Looks like the power is pretty fun.. bit different from NA huh.

[DJPimpFlex]

that last vid, your car looks really loose, like off throttle until the end of the first corner and still sliding. What tires are you running?

[ka-titties]

looks like a hell of a lot of fun!

lol, i was off throttle for most of the course, the car likes to carry alot of speed for some reason (my right foot ha ha) plus that course is kind of short and narrow for my taste.... on that video i was on 275/35/18 falken azenis rt615, typically i run 315/30 azenis or hankook rs2s when they still made them.

edit heres the same track just a different lay out with more speed, i was still on n/a power in this vid on 275s as well i couldnt carry third gear n/a so i was just riding the limiter most of the entry now with the supercharger i will be able to carry third for the entry at least..

[Future240]

Are you going to do another top speed run with more psi?

[gsracer]

no it would be really pointless.... unless i change the rear gear, the car already hits the rev limiter in 5th well before the full mile, more boost would only make that worse.

How much do you guys pay to drift on that piece? Jerry you need a real track. Move should move to VA. I have about 4 real track to drift on.

25 bucks to race, the guy who puts on the events here at the only real track "homestead speedway", has tech stricter than nascar and will only let you race if he "thinks" your good enough.

Weak...

random question.

Which side skirts and hood are you using, and are you happy with them? Fitment/weight?

[gsracer]

side skirts are jdm navan so oem aero, the hood i have no idea , i got it for 300 shipped from ebay, fit is decent, obviously not perfect but light weight and looks ok i guess

that sucks. I was planning to move back to miami in 2years, but I like to be in a place where I can slide year round. Va seems to have that.

[n8RPS13]

How much could I get a VH45 from you? HAHA just joking I wouldnt have the time or the money to do such a badass swap, to much to fabricate I take it. Nevertheless still a bad ass swap good luck!

[gsracer]

Finally got to drift on a real race track. It was awesome, much different, escpecially much higher speeds, it was an expeirence not to mention my first time drifting with more that one car at a time.


My first solo run




Me and my buddy juan in his s13 sr20 coupe



Me failing the entry




Me / Bert s2000 powerd corolla / juans s13 sr20 coupe

Agreed. Looks killer dude.

[eklips3]

siiick ! !!

props to you man . very unique

[breetime]

was wondering if you could elaborate a little more on you alt p/s set up please.
with the maz kit im positive you must cut and box a section of the frame rail for alt clearance but, also noticed the p/s pully will touch the front brace and need to hacked up to fit also. correct me if wrong.
i see you didnt do any of this and you made brackets for your alt and p/s to avoid this and would love to know what works and what you used....

thanks

thanks

[gsracer]

well for the alternator, i used a combination of an sr20det alternator bracket i hacked up and modified to fit the vh block with the Vh alternator and i moved the alternator location to where the air conditioning compressor used to be, and for the power steering pump i just used a different pump, i think it was from a sentra or maxima that had the smaller pulley on it and the inlets and outlets where oriented the way i needed so i could basically turn the pump on its side to get the hoses in. For this i made a custom bracket as well. Ill see if i can find some pictures.

[snappy]

I love that sound!!!! That car inspires me to go balls out on my Kouki S13, but I'm in gay ass Cali and can't have it street legal if I did what I wanted to do.

awsome thank you for the responce....like yourself i also do not want to hack up my s14 for the alt and p/s....any pics of this and anything else would be a great help thank you!

[PoorMans180SX]

Everytime I look at this thread it makes me want to abandon my plans for a VQ.

Any chance you'll get weight distribution numbers sometime? Some cold hard evidence that the VH doesn't throw off the weight distribution that much and I would gladly throw the VQ out the window.

I know, I'm a geek.

[gsracer]

i want to get the car corner balanced soon, hopefully. I dont think it throws the balance off that bad.

vq35de comes in supposedly at 329
vh45de is around 500

lol

[PoorMans180SX]

Hahaha, nice.

Yeah man, definitely post those up, I really want to see.

You know I've always loved that thing.

[gsracer]

these are the only pics i could find of the alternator and power steering pump setups from when i was building the car, now since its all together id have to take it apart to take pics.

work in progress




complete

[breetime]

thanks for the pics again.....it is kinda hard to see how its worked out but im sure i can just throw the alt and p/s where i want them and build brackets around em. shouldnt be too bad.

im in the middle of my vh build so im going to bombard you with questions if you dont mind lol

the simple rom tuning you did..is that a matter of simply an e-prommable chip that was soldered in with say nistune as an interface?

speedo/tach calibration
was say a stock ka speedo gear used and wired into the stock vh engine harness along with tach singnal?

thanks again this is helping a ton.
im still stuck in the work of "fast" hondas and currently learning all this nissan jazz

[drift213]

[GripTerror]
