Ruthless Mazda B2500(HOME!)

[TeamH2O]

After a little situation i had the project on hold for some days. This was due to very important things happening on my side.

Monday will be finishing off the final bits of electrical and Thursday the a/c will be completed. Gas tank will be reinstalled tomorrow as well.

Only issue is the rims i have, the rear are touching calipers and don't want spacers to have it sticking out, so he needs to work something crazy there and then theres alot of work to be done on his side.

Handbrakes will be installed as well, center console style that is

Overall layout for a buyer is, you have to do nothing to it mechanically, chassis wise, interior, engine and suspension/handling. This just basically needs a flash over, no body work really needed.

If anyone is willing to lend me a compressor/hose and gun, I'll paint this myself and save me 8000$ like i did my last car. Paint materials only cost 1500$.

things quiet in here

[TeamH2O]

Have not gotten an update.....Hoping things went properly with a/c and electrical. Wanna get it back hopefully this week or next week. Another video with the mechanic will be made....Seeing that the skills he possess in driving are far more ahead of me. Especially in the rain!

[TeamH2O]

Also, the diff was a full 2 way locker, did not want that, no slippage at all, climbing up on gravel is a pain and possibly in the rain cant take no chain up, so that was removed, and the stock r34 one is back on.....Kinda harder to drift a corner with it unless i fully let it loose before a corner....so i will be looking for a Viscous LSD from the r32 gtst or something....It usually has an orange sticker on the diff center itself(the pumpkin) and says VLSD


Update on my brother's R34....Got a full nismo n1 GTR front bumper, sides and back to install. New gauges to install, SAFC 2, dump pipe and downpipe in 3", front mount intercooler, and piping and electronic boost controller to be installed soon. Looking for 350RWHP on the tiptronic.

[Ted_v2]

that skyline gonna be a quick daily

[rusty_turbo]

u selling the 2way differential?

[TeamH2O]

sold already down that side

[312vvl]

is it just me, or is that clip like a typical RB setup that just SOUNDS fast but is slow as f*ck
other than the chassis, how is it different from the taxi laurel & cefiro?

[TeamH2O]

Update - A/C Finished, surge in gas tank buildup working properly and installed, electrical finished.

Finishing up center hand brakes setup. Tray nearly finished to put back on. Rear spacers might be installed, since i ended up getting some fiberglass widebody designs for front and back.

Hopefully should get new tyres, with these sizes:

Front - 265/40/18
Rear - 305/40/18

[TeamH2O]

Got a call, mechanic is looking to have the van ready for me by next week!

Gonna be working some small transport jobs with it in bamboo and other places to make up some money to try and keep it. Anyone interested in it, better hope i don't change my mind.

Will have parts/engines in tray and possibly owner of the parts so no hard driving will be going on.

So might be a while before the AEM Series 2 is installed and tuned to about 18psi. Will be running on 5psi for the time which is what its running on currently as seen in the vids.

[TeamH2O]

Trying to finish up for this weekend, just some keep backs with some other stuff.

Might be running 14psi daily tuned compared to the 5psi its on now.

[TeamH2O]

OK so no center handbrakes for the while, used handbrakes selling for 3-500$ and makes no sense. Ordered a Ksport Drifting E-Brake system, Hydraulic handbrakes for the van! Full works, and whenever someone buys it, they will be happy that it is a TRUE buy and drift/drive and have fun vehicle!

Making time to organise a day to go collect it, just busy at the time.

Will be rolling home in a/c with it woohoo! Everything is finished!

Only issue is i believe ever since i got the van, it had wrong tie rods or steering ends, so theres not much lock, so i will have to look for originals first to see if there is a difference.

Anyone got any mazda b2500/2600 or bt50, if they can tell me if they get enough lock to turn a corner or if they find themselves reversing sometimes to turn? I get that alot, so i believe somethings wrong and we just can modify it just so unless we get originals to see first.

[Ted_v2]

Id say opt for something modded.

Lil more lock in drifting usually is a plus

[cutthroatInt]

the mazdas.. atleast the 4x4 B2500 and 4x4 BT50s i have driven do not hav much lock at all... u need to do a 10 point turn for every ting. so quite possibly it will be the same for the 4x2.. i may be wrong.

[TeamH2O]

^^Well then i guess that's how its made, bcuz yea, i nearly have to be back and forth just to turn most places. That sucks LOL.

So yea, gonna have to do like the 350z men away, aftermarket tie rods and cut off some other stuff, still researching on how they do it so i can get an idea of what needs to be done.

However, before all this work was done, i still could of drift corners a bit, not to safely before but now yea, i done think i might care about the little lock, i'll just slide it. The van can now basically slide tiny bits if you want it to but in the process of scaring people who is inches away from you. Basically, anyway however you want the van to slide, it goes if you control it, a beginner can do it with this how easy it is to control now.

[TeamH2O]

Or the simple thing to do is work up an s13 front end system, subframe, suspension etc.

[Ted_v2]

check driftworks forum bout the changing of the ends and modding ect

[TeamH2O]

lots of work to do, gotta blueprint a design for it and see what can happen lol

[Ted_v2]

http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-c ... der-4.html
check that out

[TeamH2O]

Sweet, so its confirmed that most trucks (and cars) just need to modify the end and knuckles....Makes sense, but its very very tricky and can cause lots of complications if not done right.

[TeamH2O]

OK so will do that when i get the ksport hydro handbrake system, gonna get the van back this week or weekend when i organise transport etc.

So far, i got a colour for the rims, polished lip with metallic purple! Red calipers and red lug nuts!

[TeamH2O]

Hit a hard life bump today and well, everything is selling out, check auto parts section classifieds

[TeamH2O]

Willing to accept offers on the van, im sure this van can be a money maker while having fun! Transport has lots of money to make, i just dont have time to leave my child alone.

[TeamH2O]

Should collect van weekend hopefully i get a ride.

I ended up keeping my bro's R34 home by me, and wired up a NEO SAFC, Greddy Profec B and 3 new gauges....However due to parking it up for lengths of time, the turbo decided to die on 12psi, the back flew out in pieces....

So its now up by Ruthless Auto!

Gonna put on GTR body kit, custom bonnet vent, front mount intercooler, 3" Intercooler piping, custom down pipe 3" stainless steel, transmission oil cooler, and a PRECISION TURBO UPGRADE!

After that, car will be tuned by Dry, on 10psi low, 14psi high. That is until a head gasket goes in later on along with some injectors to run 22psi!

Expect to see it ripping soon for those who know it in the area down north

[TeamH2O]

3rd gen brakes in front the van

[TeamH2O]

R34 when i finished install all electronics


Turbo backend after it got ONE 12psi pull!


Heading down to Ruthless Auto, drive was boring on no turbo!
