Whats a good drift car for under 10k

Hey All,

Recently i have been looking into getting a drift car so far i've been looking into getting an r33 gtst but i am unsure of how reliable they would be on track and how good they would be for drifting. I know a lot of people seem to go with the s chassis but availability in SA seem to be very low and the few that come up are to far out of what i want to spend. some other options for drift cars under the 10k budget would be greatly appreciated. Also i want the car to be a respectable looking car cause it will be used as a weekender.

Cheers

a filthy 180.

ahah i though about that but i want to keep the car as respectable looking as possible so i can drive it on the streets as well as take it to the track. If a decent 180 comes up ill defiantly consider one of those. 

I'm sorry but 'track' and 'reliable' and 'registered' and 'under 10k' cannot co-exist in the same vehicle, at least in anything with forced induction.

I'm happy to be proven otherwise but please have a scan of my105/Tracksales/Carsales/Gumtree/Ebay and report back on what you find

Don't know if you can get them where you are but Laurels and Cefiros are popular budget track cars over here.

Not cheap over here haha

 

R32 or 33 would be the best options

If you can squeeze the budget a bit more maybe a JZX100, probably a dirty word around here though

Adam Lz on youtube has a 240 that he uses on track and drives it on road. Obviously there is going to be little issues here and there but i just dont want it breaking down every single time i drive it.

yeah would definitely push the budget up a little bit more to have a JZX100. I've seen a couple of decent looking ones on car sales for under 15k which would work with the budget.

It isn’t uncommon to hear someone putting out 600hp out of the VR6 engine in the R32.  With some transmission work and modifications, you could be on your way to having a five-door Lambo killer.

What does that have to do with drifting for under $10,000?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
