driftae86: We say a silvia because in stock form, the S13 is simply a better drift machine.
They come from a more sporty heritage, i.e. suspension can take the punishment, and is more suited for caning. They tend to oversteer with a bit of lowering. LSDs are common, cheap and plentiful. Turbo torque kicks ass for powerovers and feinting.
when you are looking at a sprinter, you'll need the engine conversion. A disc brake LSD rear end. Sway bars, and possibly some re-enforcement. All in all, roughly about the same price as a silvia, but for an older, underpowered car.
Or you could simply just buy a standard sprinter with a 4age for about 5-6k, and try drift in that.
Even though it can be done, I think it's stupid doing it without an LSD rear end (whats the point when you have to slow down heaps to regain traction?). And when you do get a little enthusiastic, you'll probably ending up the sprinter around a poll.
rock on.
