    you wont find many cars under $5000 race only
    race import approval $500
    shipping tax and duty $2000-$3000
    buyers fee $500-$1000
    and r32 in japan $2000 for a ok one

    Celsior? Aristo?

    way too much work needed for drift

    R32 4 door would be my choice

    I've never even seen a Celsior drifting.

    and an Aristo set-up for drifting would be pricey

    Yeah unfortunately you have no chance at 5k (unless you get the car for free), basically all the shipping/broker/tax fees will eat up most of that

    And as buddy said, anything under ~2k will be a little crap. A few more grand (7/8k) could probably get you most cars on that list, and you could get an S14 too (they don't go for much in japan, probably because they aren't eligible for compliance here in aus)

    how much do u want to spend?...might be cheaper to build one then buy an import...

    and depends what you want and what you like...

    sr20det ae/ke, light...all the power you need...and if its track...dont have to worry about the major rust and defect =p

    or save a bit more and get a decent nissan
