Greetings to all,
I am new to the forum, im writing for Maputo, Mozambique.
I have just bought an E-PS13 K's Nissan Silvia on an auction in Japan. The car its on the way and arrives in a few weeks.
The car is just for play and drift. Im not sure what it already have on it, but it seems mainly stock.
I would like to make some tweaks to make it a real drifter, but I dont have much money to invest.
Can you guys please advice me on what things I should upgrade?
This is a K's SR20DET '91 model, so i think it comes with a LSD already, is that enough for beginners drift?should I get a 2 way kaaz or cusco?
Any boost upgrade?
I will put the pics on the next post, coz the system dont allow me to post any link on the first post (noob problem)

Looks Good Man!
Stock SX is normally good for drifting, especially with the SR20.

lowering springs (blue shocks at the back? maybe coilovers?)
bushes
exhaust (looks like it got)
up the boost and you should be good
the stock vlsd is good to start drifting i hear.

Very nice looking car. Dont bother with a body kit, atleast untill you have got it running properly for drift.
...just try stiffen the suspension up, just a little as you still have to be able to drive it around Maputo
. power wise you should be good, my SR20det spins 18' inch wheels in third with ease at 0.8 boost. Looks like you're on 17's so you will have no problems there...
set your suspension to as much camber on the front as you can.. apparently stock can go to -1.2 or so.
Make the rear -0.5 or even 0. but id suggest a little rear camber in the beginning.
... try starting slow in the rain in an open area, then work your way up.. slowly is the key.
.. and enjoy
