Mileage is a bit high, but the motor internally is 100s, also have a few things that need attention before I'll be able to drift it. Price was R25k when I got there. Left with it for R20k

Thanks!
Like I said, it has a few rough edges, probably gonna be around R5k to fix properly. But the main stuff, bottom end, running gear and suspension are perfect!
Here is the pic off autotrader:
Special thanks needs to go to Vaughn who helped me through the selection process and all the late phonecalls for opinions etc. And the help last night going to collect the car.
Thanks everyone for posting in this thread with you input, it really helped. I was definately gonna go for a skyline, but I saw this deal and once I went to go see it last night it was a definate bargain. Even Phinx agrees, and he's a Jew!

P.S, if you ever are looking for a car and need a second opinion, call VC, the guys at CSI have f*ckall on him, He spent at least an hour scouring the car with his cellphone torch! Big up man! Respect!

Well, gonna sort out the small things, look for some nice rims and suspension, thne drift it
It shouldnt need much more, they are rated at 125kw 220nm and comes stock with an LSD.

if its going to be a drift pig... weld the LSD shut... you won't regret it... but only if its a drift pig... back becomes really slippery under de-acceleration, since there is instant lock.
But it wicket for drifting, all you do is over speed into the corner take your foot of the gas and turn, the car will go sideways automatically as the back wants to overtake the front
