Go the S13 Silvia.So many people go spending a fortune on AE86 Sprinters trying to be initial D...Not a good budget drifter in my opinion. Why bother when an S13 comes with the SR20 and beefier Gearbox and diff standard.Whilst the Sprinter guys have gotta spend and change pretty much everything...S13 All the way

180SX and R32 are the easiest to find a decent one but will probably take all ur budget. Could get a NA silvia but not as easy to find good manuals and wouldn't be as fun as you'd have to work harder to slide it (unless you find constantly holding WOT and kicking ur clutch like it's ur pregnant missus fun, then you will love it).

Either way, whatever you get, make sure it has coilovers and a mechanical diff as the basics. A good race seat and deep dish steering wheel (or bosskit spacer) will let you get a good driving position/hold you in place while sliding. That is almost as important as mechanical mods.

My mate started with an R32, but that had a built RB25 in it. He came 2nd in the WA Drift Final Battle yesterday, not bad for his first season. The car started off as a daily, turned into a full blown drift car.

My other mate is buying a Ceffy for $1500 as a rolling unregisterable shell, and putting an RB25 engine/gear box in it. Will come in way below $10k

I'm buying an R31 for a bit of fun. Weld the diff, strip the interior and add some coilovers. Will be a lot of fun, and I'll add extras as I go along.

Plenty of options for you, just think it all through properly and you should make the right decision!

Hey,

Yeah ive had a look on a few forums and carsales. Seen a couple of things that are interesting just not in a position to buy for a few months (licence is on vacation). Was just interested in what people would recomend so i could figure out how much i need to save also was thinkin maybe s15 and use as a daily/drifter but the 20g+ price and the thought of bending it dont go to well.

buy my r32, i wasnt planning to sell it but just bought a house and need to focus on that at the moment.

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
