Paradoxically as it may sound, there are good drift cars because they are popular as drift cars. Which was in production from April 1989 to 1998 (I don’t have the final month of production.) shared much the same underpinnings with the S13 Silvia, but has more of a, how shall I say….space ship, jet fighter body.Īll of these cars are excellent drift machines because they are RWD, have a high power to weight ratio (especially the turbos), and are all somewhat nose heavy.īut the power and weight distribution are not the only reasons the Silvia and 180SX are such good drift cars. Which was in production from January of 1999 to January of 2002. Which as in production from October of 1993 to until January of 1999 Which was in production from May of 1988 to October of 1993 The three generations of Silvia are the S13 (The other real benchmark being Toyota Levin / Trueno FT-86, the famous “Hachi-Roku.”) The Nissan Silvia (and its blood brother, the Nissan 180SX) are an acknowledged standard, a bench mark, against which other drift cars are measured. Like these guys were having at Fuji Speedway a few weeks back.Īnd what are the best drift cars available in Japan? What are the Kings of Drift? I can’t cover all of them in this article, but let’s look at one of the best, the Nissan Silvia, and we’ll then look at some of the others in future write ups. The thrill of drifting machine made and modified for drifting is FUN INCORPORATED. So the purpose of the inspection is not to find a perfect second hand drift car, but to exclude any drift cars that are obvious disasters. Yes, even fire-breathing, wheel-spinning, turbo monster drift cars need some Tender Loving Care (TLC). Drifting, like nearly all motor sports, is hard on a car, and part of being in motor sport is giving your ride the maintenance it needs. No matter how well the car is inspected there will be something wrong with it. (We can arrange inspections for you and, if the car is in our area, we go and inspect it ourselves.) Get it inspected before you buy it, or only buy it from a reputable dealer that you have dealt with before. So, RULE NUMBER 1 about buying a second hand drift car is:

There are risks associated with them and there is some trash out there that guys have banged up cracked up and hacked up and that they want to flog off on some unsuspecting fellow overseas. Now drift cars, and especially turbo drift cars, are a bit of a special market in the second hand car buying world. As a Japan-based used car exporter we deal in all these markets. And you’ll find good deals at the Japanese car auctions, from the Japanese dealers, and from private sales here. So there is a strong market for drift cars in Japan, but: there are also good deals to be had if you want to import a Nissan Silvia (S13, S14, or S15) or Nissan 180SX, or Laurel a Toyota Supra or Soarer or Mark II, or any of the other very suitable rear wheel drive high power cars available here. Drifting is a very popular motor sport here and, judging from the skill of the drifters I see up at Fuji Speedway (not far from my house), the Japanese drift guys are good at it. I’m not saying that used drift cars are silly cheap in Japan.
