r33 Gts n/a driftable?

Hi lads,Im saving up for something for entry level track drifting at the moment and i was wondering would a skyline gts n/a having enough power to get going or would i be better off getting something else? my budgets around €1500 at the moment.

a few factors come into it.

the r33 is a reletively heavy car compared to sbody/r32.

would you be looking at the rb20de or rb25de?

if i was in your position, i'd save the extra few bob and get a turbo model. you wont last long in the n/a before you're itching for the turbo

It'd be the rb20det i would be going for, thats why i was worried about it being n/a and i was hoping stripping it out would help with the weight abit? but turbo seems to be the way to go

Rb20det is turbo, and didn't come in the r33 as standard afaik. It would be very difficult to drift a r33 if its not turbo

If you saved a bit more youd easily afford something proper:

This is a full drift spec for just over €2k
Nice a Rb20det in an S Body, caged etc

i thought rb20det was non turbo,sorry im new to this :s i think i'll just bite the bullet and save up as much as i can because i dont want to go down the bmw route,cheers lads

rb20de is non turbo,the t stands for turbo.

It would be a boat to drift better off gettin sometin lighter peter ts 328 Beemer seems to be the job for near that money

There's a turbo s14a in cork for 1500 on done deal just went up a few hours ago

You wouldn't need to save much more to be honest, plenty yokes around that can be got cheap.
