We dismantle the car of the master!

Petr Wencek is a two-time Drift Masters Grand Prix champion. No one managed to take away this honorary title from the player from Plock. This, of course, is due to his great skill and talent, but, as in any motorsport, in addition to the predisposition of the pilot, equipment also matters.

Together with G-Garage's Grzegorz Chmiełowec, Budmat Auto Drift Team car designer, we'll strip the yellow Nissan champion to see what it's like.

The basis for the construction of the car was the Nissan 200SX S14a. – This car is considered one of the best drift designs. Of course, this is not a production car. It has been extensively rebuilt to meet the competition requirements and be as competitive as possible,” Khmelovec explains.

1. Engine. The base is a 3-liter unit from Toyota - its designation is 2JZ-GTE. This bike was originally performed in the Supra model, among other things, but in drifting it can be found in different cars, such as BMW or Nissan. Of course, the engine is not serial. Most items have been replaced. Inside, you'll find forged pistons and connecting rods, more efficient valves, other head accessories, or a larger turbocharger, among other things. The intake and exhaust manifolds have also been changed. Thanks to this, the car has as much as 780 horsepower and 1000 Newton meters.

2. ECU. This is the driver. The Peter used in Nissan comes from the New Zealand company Link. In addition to the main engine control function, it also controls other elements such as fuel pumps, fans or the nitrous oxide system.

3. transmission of infection. This is a sequential transmission from the English company Quaife, the same as in the rally. It has 6 gears, which are switched with just one movement of the lever - forward (low gear) or reverse (high gear). She is very fast. The switching time is less than 100 milliseconds. In addition, sequential switching does not allow you to make a mistake when switching on the gear.

4. Differential. It was produced by the American company Winters. Its endurance is over 1500 horsepower. Provides quick shifting of the leading gear - the entire operation takes less than 5 minutes. This differential provides a range of gear ratios from 3,0 to 5,8 - in practice, this allows you to shorten or lengthen gears. With the shortest gear ratio on the "two", we can drive a maximum of 85 km / h, and with the longest as much as 160. Several options are available and you can fine-tune the speed to the requirements on the track.

5. Electrical fire extinguishing system. It is controlled from the driver's seat or outside the vehicle. After pressing a special button, foam is ejected from six nozzles - three are located in the engine compartment and three in the driver's cab.

6. Interior. There is a protective grill inside. Has FIA approval. It was made from chrome molybdenum steel, which is 45% lighter than regular steel, and at the same time almost twice as strong. To complement it, you'll also find Sparco seats and four-point harnesses that, like the cage, are FIA-approved. Thanks to them, the driver is always in the correct driving position, despite frequent and abrupt changes in the position of the car.

7. Shock absorbers. Threaded KW companies with gas tanks - provide better tire contact with the surface, which means more grip.

8. Twisting kit. Produced by the Estonian company Wisefab. It provides a very large steering angle (approx. 60 degrees) and optimal, in terms of traction, wheel steering when cornering when skidding.
