S13 turbo

good diff

stiff suspension

drivers seat, steering wheel, gear stick, dash, good front tyres.

Basically, after that it's practice and money.

Can't remember who it is that is up there in the AUS drift scene who has an S13 or is it a onevia (s13 and 180 front end) who has about 220rwkw and is one of the most competitive cars on the scene..

a stock S15 turbo'd SR20 with tuning and fuel mods etc will make about 200rwkw.

a stock S13 is about 1100kg.

remove anything not required and close to 1000kg.

i think it was leighton fines old peer onevia

Get a commodore

any model will do... vs, vy, vt

find a corner...

go around it fast and stab throttle...

this is cheap and will have you drifting in no time.....

or the other suggestions sound ok i guess

Aren't most commodores single spinners?

So you get this drift and sometimes it will almost seem to snap back on you when the other wheel decides to spin instead?

Stick with the Silvia's, the NissanSilvia forum's are into drift ...

yeah right....all that will do will cause the car to fishtail, hit the gutter and flip onto its roof or wrap around a telegraph pole....Or if its a single spinner...lay one big black line down...I wouldnt try to drift a commodore unless I had some major suspension work..Stock they are awful

now heres THE cheapest way to drift.. Take any front wheel drive car, place 2 McDonalds food trays under the rear wheels and pull the handbrake on...Then take off !!! - Hint the trays usually last longer if its wet weather

i say with starting off.. build yourself a pretty decent r31 manual rb30.. I currently have one now, just standard with a tune to run slightly better (advance timing, richened up) without a locker in the wet i get it on pretty stupid angles.. Way more fun to throw around than my 300kw r33 that i purposly built for drift.. (Because it doesnt pick up speed to over 130km/h in 3rd gear when sideways :P )

So get yourself a R31

r32 rear coilovers

s13 front coilovers

swaybars

strut bars

strip the shit out of the interior

adjustable front arms and rods

s13 brakes

Alloy rad

4.11 diff gears

minispool with 28 spline axles

exedy heavy duty clutch

bodge your own exhaust

get it running nice.. always service it..

If you want extra beef.. add a high lift n/a cam

and you have yourself a drift car :D and trust me.. u can throw them around something kronik

You must be doing it wrong then....

Make sure you have ACDC cranking, your wearing correct attire (wife beater, footy shorts and thongs) and your hand out the window holding a stubby cooler with a can of VB in it...

THEN youll be able to drift a commodore

Stick your mates in the back, some cases of beer in the boot and youll be the next DRIFT KING

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
