Yeah, what I meant is that besides the aftermarket engine management company MoTec - which you right point out are additionally well known for the data logging capabilities.

Besides that MoTec there is a separate company that trades in the USA under the name Motec selling exhaust systems.

It was a common pisstake of the F&F to use that "Motec system exhaust..." quote to demonstrate how little the F&F was based on reality.

Mine and a few other peoples bubbles burst when we found out that the Motec of the USA company actually existed - such that a Motec system exhaust was actually a real item.

The MoTec we all know and love is indeed the rich mans engine management system - by contrast the Microtech probably best sums up the poor mans engine management system.

I hope I didn't offend you much with my piss-take it was that "250shot of NOS" comment the really set me off in the end - particularly in the context of a drift car.

May all your 120Y's be "Fat"!

Cheers

mildman motec is a computer recording system alot of drag cars and i think v8 supercars use motec fnf 1 spun that much #### it was unbelieveable ,
and akinaspeedstar thanks for the tips

theres another 1 coming its called tokyo drift looks ####

If your going to use it for drifting I wouldnt go any bigger than 185 or 195 with the tyres.

Oh great it's time for a new fast and furious movie time for all the bad jokes.

You bet.

Well that's good, I've heard in QLD we can't switch from leaves to anything else on road regies'

i saw an old mr2 drift yesterday and it scared the driver quite a bit.

everything to make a 210 drift except the engine is the same price as any other car.

if the 210's came with a 50% more powerful engine it would be as popular as the ae-86, it just so happens that the nissan economy cars always had weak performance.

fat_120y i hope you have also addressed the streering. im asuming that the its the same between 120ys and 1200s, it is super slow.. belive me that is the last thing you want when you start to put on opi.. also you want at least 14" rims, dont get them too skinny or you wont be able to control the drift, stiffish suspension helps i saw a while back some coilovers on hear with s13 brakes for $1200 cheap, also you could use some meaty saybars. a desent clutch is nessesary especaly if your in an underpowered car it will need a few kicks around the longer corners to keep them spinning. a supportive seat and 4 point harness is manditory and a nice round wheel helps not too big or small... datsuns are light as paper put they also have the chassis stiffness or thin trees aswell so a half cage and strut braces would help to reduce this alot..

at the end of the day it would be cool to see a datto drift, its a hard and expensive task.. it would be much much cheaper to buy a ae71/ke70 rwd corrolla preferabley an ae71 weld the diff get some suspencion under it and there you go a budget drift car that wont brake the bank.. but its up to you.. what do you actualy want to do with the car and how far do you want to go?? thats the real question..........

i hope this helps in some way..
