    If you have ever pulled a 4age head off or looked into one you would have noticed there are no rockers.

    That sort of ancient technology is reserved for 4ac, bent 8's and most of the nissan range.

    for a little bit more than a useless rocker stopper you could buy 2 good front tyres, or bushes, A braces, pan hard etc etc

    this is the minimum u'll need to start getting some drift action to start with

    locked diff, or 1.5-2way LSD
    spare tyres
    lowered springs
    front tyres with grip

    the rest comes with experience, no point trying to drift a D1 Spec Ae86 when u dont even know how to drift

    One advice I'd give you is not to learn on stock rims, or ones that are ridiculously small or have crap width.

    Use a good rim with decent'ish tyres, that aren't slot car spec, although it's a bit harder to get it sliding, in the long run, you'll realise how much more you learn about what to do to control and get the rear sliding.

    There's no use in easy spinning which requires shit all steering work, it teaches you less.

    so you got ur basic suspension covered. invest in a lock spacer now and powersteering arms OR power steering arms and a quick rack. i use a quick rack and p/s arms and it is truely awesome. then get a 4 link. then u should be set. get onto the engine side of things

    LOL.

    i learnt to drift in a open centre 4AC stocker on king springs and 14x6's and i was still out sliding my mates in R32's and S13's.

    seriously. its about how good you are at driving compared to how godo your car is.


    do it cheap get a s13 like the rest of the Driftkings out there LOL

    only reason why i said get a s13 cuz to much bullshit talk about what u need and what not...

    just lock the diff, chop ur springs, clutch kick around the roundabouts and hold it...

    you can do the same with a s13 to though xD, gatta love the nissans as much as the toyotas
