![]() The seven-seat configuration inside offers comfortable space in the first and second rows but the third row is meant only for kids. 4.25 lakh and Rs 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) caters to the customers with large families looking for a low budget vehicle. The affordable MPV priced in the vicinity of Rs. In its segment, the MPV competes against the Maruti Ertiga, Mahindra Quanto and Honda Mobilio. Though the vehicle has a decent ground clearance of 170mm, 13-inch tyres still feel undersized. With the third row of seats, which are made only for kids, the car offers a boot space of 48-litres, but it can be increased up to 347-litres by folding the third row seats. Dimensionally, it measures 3995mm in length, 1635mm in width and 1490mm in height and has a wheelbase of 2450mm. I also agree that it shouldn't be and isn't used on the street.Datsun GO+ MPV made its Indian debut at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo and shares platform with GO hatchback, but seems proportionally bigger and more spacious. it's a little in the way of the my hand's path to the radio dial, but that's just muscle memory. doesn't get in the way of the shifter or the steering. The time that it does its thing is when you're braking into a corner, the weight has shifted to the front, and you're beginning to turn in- thats when you disengage the clutch, give it a light pull for half a second, countersteer, engage the clutch, and give it gas. the handbrake master cylinder is just inline on the way to the rear brakes, so when you don't use it, it just acts as a junction on the way to the rear.Īlso, if you're driving normally and pull the hand brake while going straight, it's almost impossible to lock the rear. If this is on a dedicated drift truck not driven on the street or if the normal rear brakes are left unaffected, then just ignore this post.Įverything works exactly as it did before the install. So does the rear brakes still work in the usual way with the brake pedal? If not I'm pretty sure if used on the street this is illegal and worse very dangerous to you and everyone else. Here's a couple photo-cam vids my friend shot from inside the cab: now I know how they make it look soooo easy! just a tap on the handbrake as you brake and turn in, and then just steer with the gas!!! I couldn't be happier with this mod :) ![]() I'm pretty happy how it turned out- doesn't look too rigged upīUT I'M EVEN HAPPIER WITH HOW IT WORKED !!!Īfter going to weekly drift nights since July, I was beginning to think I was a pretty slow learner, but MAN!. Then, a new line out of the hand brake, and back to where the rear rubber brake hose ties into the stock steel line (above the axle, behind the fuel tank).Ĭonnect everything up (i used locktite for my own piece of mind)Īnd bleed the system (took a while for me) I bolted through the plate steel, (NOT SHOWN), through the trans tunnel, and through some more steel plate on the underside, so I wasn't relying on the weak sheetmetal of the trans tunnel to brace this thing.īasically, to plumb this thing, you remove the brake line from your stock master cylinder which goes to your rear brakes, and plumb a new line from the master to your new hand brake. I did a bit of figuring before I decided on the position of the brake-Īnd decided that the little slot that nissan gives us next to the shifter would be a perfect fit if i cut out the bottom! ![]() Used a piece of plate steel laying around as a bracket Paid $15 for a 3/16" tubing bender and got busy! ![]() I bought 3 lengths of 5' and one 2' length of steel brake line with Japanese fittings as well as some brass unions from Autozone. I plugged the upper cylinder with a pipe plug and had a local pipe shop braize together some adapters (1/8" pipe thread to metric 1.00 inverted female) so I could plumb in to the same type of brake line fittings that Nissan uses. its meant to activate the brakes left or right to get the buggy turning, but I figured it would work fine just one-way. I found someone selling a sand rail 'cutting brake'. So i decided to build myself a hydraulic hand brake. However, i found that i wasnt able to initiate drifts as early as some cars, simply because I didn't have a hand brake! ![]() With all this working together, I've been able to get pretty consistent on the track- able to initiate drifts and link turns through most corners by either shift-locking or feinting into turns. i'm taking cues from his book and slowly making the necessary changes to get MY truck to perform properly at the track. After all, he's totally rebuilt his rear suspension from scratch, gutted the interior, fabbed front coilover mounts, swapped to an S13 intake, tuned ecu, removed emissions, K sport hand brake. So, as I'm sure a few of you do here, I take a lot of inspiration from PESJAHB's white hardbody drift truck. ![]()
