hey my name is mike and i live in santa cruz right now. im was thinking of getting a car to do some drifting. im pretty new to it, but ive been racing around since i was 17. i currently own a brutally fast supra. im fixing her up though. i was thinking of an s14, is this one of the "better" drifter?

u wanna get a car to do some drifting?? get a ae86 hatch

perfect for drifting...(yet harder to drift than s13)

you will gain ALOT of skill with the ae86

thankx, i heard of the 86 corollas capabilites, maybe if i find one at a good price. ill look into it. im a fan of toyota, but i wanted to get my feet wet with nissan, if you know what i mean.

maybe look into the s12 200sx. they are either v6 (gay, dont get it too heavy), turbo 4 (weak), or n/a 4 (even weaker). but they might be a good beginner drift car. i dont know too much about them tho....

in the us i think we only got non turbo 4 and it was front wheel drive so dont bother

no we actually got the v6

was it front wheel drive?? if so, then sucks!

nope, im pretty sure spitz was right and it was rwd

Lets see some specs on the supra.

the car doesn't matter.

it's the driver.

and don't just expect to jump into drifting and be good right away. it will take YEARS.

Lets see some specs on the supra.



i have a 94' supra TT six speed veilside kit, erubani raceing hood(carbon fiber), SSR 18"s wrapped in khumos, HKS coilovers, TRD strut tower bar, greedy aluninum pedals, tom's shift knob and a short shift kit and a personal racing steering wheel (thats pretty much it for dress up and suspension) as for performance i have BlitZ blow off valve, Blitz intercooler, HKS intake, Blitz boost gauge ( in 3 pod gauge with oil and temp.),Blitz boost control, HKS cat back exhaust and downpipe. thats prettty much my car. its all white with a black targa top. i busted up my FLUG hood when the latch broke so im puting on the carbon one. it also has a veilside wing, but its very ugly, i might get a rod millen carbon fiber, but im not sure yet on which wing i want to get to replace the ugly one.

ive drifted some with my supra, im getting okay at it, i just wanted to see some opinions on some LIGHTER cars that drift well. and im starting to like Nissans (silvias+skylines).ive been driving (racing) cars for 4 years now. im starting automotive school next month, and im selling cars right now for money, i might open a web site for my business, i plan to customize cars. i do body work (starting to) and i install custom audio systems ( pretty basic stuff right now, plan to learn fiberglass work.) I also have a 95 3000GT base ( got it for 2,000-hell of a deal)

tell me the last time you saw a boost guage add power...... what you listed here wouldn't make it "brutally fast" at all. Lets see some pics of this brutally fast supra.

uuuhhhhhhh where are the specs???

welll its brutally fast to me. and how do you post pics?

uuuhhhhhhh where are the specs???


well it runs the quarter @ 11.4 ( my best so far, only dragged it on a time slip 5 times) ive havent toped it out yet, but i had it at 160 on 5 going by sacramento. and i have a racing cluth in it to

oh ya my supra also makes about 500 (give or take 20)horsepower @ 18 psi

So u live in Cali? Cuz I have a friend whos selling his AE86, full-out engine work, suspension work. 5k is his highest offer so far. PERFECT for drifting. PM me back if your interested.

sounds good, but i wanted to buy one stock and do all the work on it myself, thats pretty much all the entertainment i get is fixing cars. thanks anyway bro

umm what makes it run 11s?

it has stock twins on it. i used drag tires, on 16" bogart rims

are 4WD Nissan's like the skyline good at drifting?

are 4WD Nissan's like the skyline good at drifting?
skyline GTR is almost impossible to drift with

but the GTS and 4 doors do great!

the s12 200sx is RWD
we got the turbo 4cyl, its a CA18ET i think
also, v6 and non turbo 4cyl

supra guy,
stock supra twins are good for 18psi??

for sure i have a pretty good intercooler and blow off ive never boosted atover 18 though i think thats when it starts getten dangerous. and how do you post pics, wanna put my car up.

i have pics i got with a digital camera the uploading section says the pics file size are to big. does anyone know hot to make the files smaller?

At 18 psi, your right at the edge of the efficiency range on those turbo's. Also, there is no way in hell that you ran an 11.4....even with slicks. That is unless you completely gutted your car. There are plenty of 600-700 hp single/twin turbo supras out there still running 12's.

Shrink your pics in photoshop.

also, post up a dyno sheet while your at it

skyline GTR is almost impossible to drift with

I haven't driven the GTR, but with the amount of drift videos I've seen, I'd say it can drift pretty easily...I've seen close to equal amounts of both (GTS and GTR) dirifting and they seem to both do it well...I just see a lot more Silivias and other cheaper/lighter cars.

Its because they disable the AWD. You pull one fuse, and you get instant RWD.

Oh, email me the pics and Ill post them for you. Also scan ur dyno sheet and timeslips, or take pics. PM me.

yeah awd would be terrible to drift because of undur steer

I'd say get an AE86 to learn, not too difficult to get started with, and you can find them for like 500 bucks easy, so when you wreck its not a huge lose... or atleast thats how I see it cuz I poe! :biggrin:

WHAT??? $500!!! SHOW ME WHERE!!!!

lol...the only $500 AE86's i've ever seen are non-running, or are about to blow up, or have gastronomically high mileage, or are just a shell, or a parts car, or have been sitting on a farm for $500. if anything, AE86's are expensive, because they're rare and sought after. even if you do find a $500 one, you'll be putting alot into it to make it road-worthy again, and DEFINITLEY alot to make it drift worthy...drifting takes it's toll on cars, and drifting a 20 year old car that you got for $500 would be downright dumb unless you either plan on wrecking it, or put money into it first to fix it up.

im still positive that the U.S got front wheel drive non turbo 200SX in the early 80's. Canada got turbo RWD with that hood scoop, im possitive because i was going to buy one at some point in time.

I saw 2 or 3 in the Kansas City paper, 2 were 500 1 was like 650, never looked at them though cuz its like a little over an hour away and I didn't have a job at the time. all ran, one needed minor repair(500), one was drivin by some old lady and garaged(650 one), and the other didn't say much except it needed new tires(500)... jrat from the rx7 forum tells me there are a few cheap ones in arizona right now... its easy to find cheap cars in cities and states that don't have a big scene of imports

the car doesn't matter.

:2cents: To a point yes it dose....The car has to be rear wheel drive and have the motor in the front. :p

not true at all. mr, f4 and ff can drift too...not as flashy or as well as fr, but it will drift

Sorry Shin, you're wrong. I don't know what you were going to buy but the only FWD car called 200SX anywhere is the 95-98 B14 200SX (aka 2-door Sentra) sold in the U.S. In the very early '80s about the only FWD Nissan/Datsun was the 310, and later the Pulsar and Sentra.

The S10 (1977-79), S110 (1980-83), and S12 (1984-88) 200SX were all RWD. The 200SX Turbo (CA18ET) was available in the U.S. from 84-86 and in Canada from 84-88, all RWD. The U.S. didn't get the Turbo in 87-88 cause we got the 200SX SE V6 (VG30E) instead.
Only the 1984 Turbo got the hood scoop, which was non-functional and originally designed for hood clearence on Euro-spec and J-Spec FJ20-powered cars.

SHADDUP NEWB! This thread is almost three months old! No one is listening! But hey.... your'e right about the RWD thing!! Now let's hope this thread get's closed......

Heh..I hope it makes you fell big calling people newbs, especially considering your joined date and your math skills, since December to February is two months not three....I don't give a crap how old the thread is nobody forced you to click on it. When it comes to RWD 200SX's I'm anything but a newb, so when I see misinformation I'm gonna correct it.

makes me kinda wonder why he searched the 240sx threads about 200sx....

SHADDUP NEWB! This thread is almost three months old! No one is listening! But hey.... your'e right about the RWD thing!! Now let's hope this thread get's closed......

Actually this was an interesting thread. So you STFU.

tsi, this guys a tool, dont bother.

not true at all. mr, f4 and ff can drift too...not as flashy or as well as fr, but it will drift
you dissapoint me, I usually agree with you on everything but this has got to be the dumbest thing you've ever said no here, FF can't drift, well that is unless it somehow puts enough power to the rear wheels to break traction and spin them while sliding sideways...

The car has to be rear wheel drive and have the motor in the front.
the engine doesn't have to be in the front, ever heard of an MR2? yea they drift, and nicely at that, little more of a challenge because of the oversteer though

and why are you people talking about the 200sx so much? who really cares? plus your off by 40... duh! :loser:

Fu#K drift, well... it s fun, but man, i lost my rim, right tension bar, and dented the arn that the tension bar connects to! all of u who say they drift, expect to pay for repairs. i did mine at a hook up shop, if i didn't the bill would ve been "eeeeeh"
i drift, and i have the bumps, and the broken parts!! (i just needed to vent out , back to the subject )

200sx RWD??? i thought they were only FWD? pix plz?
