Obviuosly manual.

Anything rwd with decent power. I'm assuming that you don't have a skyline?

No your mum's auto vn commo will not drift well.

Basically, any turbo skyline/silvia/rx7 etc etc will drift ok

na cars can be drifted more and require more skill.

General mods required:

mech diff (a must, once you move from the stock viscous to a mech, you'll notice the diff. When the stock one single wheels, you'll lose control)

suspensions

seat and harness are nice, so you aren't always triyng to brace yourself off the door etc.

stock power is enough to learn on, but air filter, exhaust, highflow cat, fmic won't hurt.

oil cooler depending on how hard you drift (on a 31 degree day, my r33 was starting to get hot, but I drive hard)

camber, castor, swaybars etc.

RX7's ARE NOT GOOD FOR STARTING TO DRIFT IN.

The only cars you should be looking at are S13 Silvias or maybe DR30/31 Skylines. Someone may be able too drop futher info on those skylines for you compared too the S13.

Anything can be drifted. My last rental vt commo was pretty fun even though it was auto.

like It was said above, it's how well it drifts, and how easy it is to learn.

What's wrong with rx7s?

My friends fd is very easy to drift. Stock, they're pretty neutral in terms of over/understeer.

manual r31 skyline

pull out diff centre, weld it up

has n/a rb30 so enough torque to go for gold. if you get desperate for more power just whack on vl turbo setup. then it'll tyre fry no worries

and some average to half decent shocks money permitting

can even chuck in s13 front arms to go down the s13 coilover route

live axle so its fun to drift with. no hicas or irs dramas

fatz from this forum can prove they are good to go for a cheap weekend fun car ---->

cheers, MARK

Get an NA car weild the diff....stiffen it to buggery...have a manual and a handbrake that works really well. A corolla with a 4age is fun......a skyline is fun but tends to steer out of a drift cause of the HICAS (remove it and its good). Learning in an underpowered car can teach you to take the right line a speed, can get your confidence up, with a turbo car you can have other problems.

Just wait till it rains and take your shit box auto commy out and learn that way. Thats what i did i got a feel for drift first then started to progress from there. Then when you progress more then mods start comming from what you know you and your car needs to feel right.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
