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.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
