i’m convinced with the way Alex speaks that he translates all his video scripts to chinese and then back to english before he reads them.
it feels like those mobile game ads with the english voice actors reading the translated scripts lmao
either that or their ai generated 💀
Why is that he also sounds sorta like Steve Buscemi?
nah you really made me laugh out loud
what?
I loved the part where he showed good alternatives
Ik right the part where he explained that bmw and Nissan are good beginner platforms is so good
e36
You do know the e36 is extremely unreliable, right??
@@KilsE90 You have an e90 you can’t talk
@@EarlofBusterbrookHe’s right though, you can’t even start an E36 without every warning light flashbanging you and the engine possibly exploding into flames.
Fun fact, the FD that you ended up showing is owned by James Deane and has an SR20DET instead of the normal 13B rotary
Lol
My dad has 2 friends back in the day, one was swapping a sr20 into a rx7 and the other was swapping a 13b into a 240sx.

@@Pandaprintsprolol yeah I owned 2 240s and my father did as well but there's definitely a reason why they are so rare nowadays. Most guys abused them sadly or did stupid swaps like a 13b lol
Bruh what beginner said aite Imma cop a rx7 😂
I mean my plan is to buy my father's rx-8 off of him and fix it up because it has 60k miles and hasn't been driven enough so the seals are rotting out and I want to rebuild it myself, do a few upgrades and then use it as a track/drift car. I'll even pay him more than he'd get selling it to a dealer or something because I know what I'm going to have to deal with more than I would know buying a used car from someone else.

G35 and hell, even LS400s are great starter drift cars. They have enough power to kick the ass end out (and yes you can 110% drift an automatic). And they may not be great competition cars, but they are great starter cars to introduce you to the feeling of drifting.
Power sliding a ls is not drifting 🥸
@@beastonthis805 That’s not power sliding. They can actually drift. It’s not hard to initiate a drift in an automatic. A good hand brake helps, a lot of ls400 guys use the sc300 hand brake set up on their drift cars.

@@gorbdonfreeming fr, I drifted my daily keep liberty at one point and it did a whole 70 degree drift, pretty good for a 200-300 hp 3.7 L NA V6

There's a dude who runs a non turbo Z31 drift car, and all he's done is coilovers. It drifts like a professional Forumla D car.
The Z platform has always been a solid platform
I think zxs are awesome cars. Cheap and dope. The VGs are known for their reliability though. Great cars if you at least have some idea of what you are up to with the engine
Zs are the best beginner drift cars
That’s a lie
Yeah dude people sleep on the z31. Have a feeling the guy in the video was talking about the z32 but he showed z31 footage
Ye a ton of people run 300ZX’s
83 fb w/12a. 188k miles, plates were split at 140k for the first and only time for a corner seal leak then resealed as is. Still to this day turn key year round with a working omp, no premixing. Rotarys are reliable if you maintain them like every car needs with the single exception of plugs and oil changes a little more frequently.
Also if you drive the absolute snot out of them they will be more reliable because it will clear out any carbon deposits that might otherwise seize the engine up
@@ryans9869 gotta rev that bih out! Rotaties that sit will always fail before a rotary that's abused constantly with regular maintenance.
The g platform is an excellent way into drifting don’t give it a bad name because some takeover kids hit people with them
I can't speak for other g, but g35 is not man. It was sold as an "executive car" and has baby seat loops in the back because they were hoping Noone would lock the differentials...
Lol what are you smoking plenty of drift cars have the same rear view😂 and it comes with a lsd and it’s not uncommon for people to lock their diffs…
Yep. They’re literally the same chassis as the 350Z and those make awesome drift cars. Stupid reliable
Every time this dude opens his mouth i realize how little he knows about vehicles.
How so?
The z31 300zx isnt tough to work on at all, thats just his older brother. It does lack serious aftermarket though so I still wouldnt recommend it to a rookie.
starting off on this car is giving me a good insight into how hard finding aftermarket parts can be. still fun though, love it regardless of how difficult it may be.
What about z32?
@@FoggyWaterFishing it has the complete opposite problem, plenty of aftermarket but its a nightmare to work on. Trust me this is not a good car unless you take it to a professional.
@@FoggyWaterFishing way to heavy
It shares a lot of parts with the sx so aftermarket isn’t too terrible
Definitely would like to hear your top drift platforms, for beginners. Will we be surprised?😮
I doubt it
Nah this mans biased af lmao
Nissan A31 Cefiro, why pay for a busted up $40,000 S chassis when you can get a cheap ass 4 door Sylvia counterpart for like $5,000
330 E46 is probably as good as it gets in price to performance ratio.
@MV-ri7zu ahh I will look that one up.
z31 is actually a fantastic candidate for a drift car with the na being 50/50 weight dis and the turbo a 51/49
Rear suspension sucks
@@rcermelo that is an easy fix
@@ryans9869 done some mods on mine but it still drives like an '85 turbo 😁
Weld some rear subframe mounts n rear sub swap it from a s13 n you can upgrade rear suspension
@rcermelo
The z31 platform isn’t really very heavy in base 2+0 config. No airbags, no traction control, no abs, cheap parts. Only issue is support.
Exactly lol it’s lighter than a 350z and just as easy to work on, it’s the lack of aftermarket support that’s the issue.
With that cramped engine bay 😂
@@abymondesir23 fym "cramped engine bay" dude I got acres of fucking real estate under the hood, z32s and z31s ain't the same homie
@@abymondesir23z31 is nothing like its baby brother z32. Engine bay super easy to work on
You can fit an LS in a stock z31 bay, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Zoomer ass.
For those who think the 300ZX is a good car for drifting, he was specifically referring to the Z32.
"worst cars to drift" me: bruh, for me its a skill issue 🗿
Thunderbird and cougars ARE AWESOME druftmobiles...lolol I used to be able to swing mine around corners like noooooooothing..
Here it is. I was waiting for someone to talk about the American cars. And I gotta say crown Vic’s are great at sliding around.
Gotta love the Mazda r7x
I personally like the Nissan Skyline 3r2 GRT
@@AlanWolfeMusic i prefer the yotota sapru myself
@@duycardomilos4322I think my favourite is the Nison grt 3r5
I love the r7x and the yotota 86ea
They showed the easy to work on and inexpensive 300zx too...
Lmao right? Its a lil sad the z31 gets bunched with the z32 and its reputation
As someone who drifts, the 350z and v6 mustangs from the 2000s are cheap options that have tons of parts and people who know how to work on them if you are trying to get into drifting
Even the v8 mustangs are good. And Camaros. I just bought a grand marquis because it was a good deal. Luxury and a 4.6. It is really easy to throw the rear end out in that car
A 2010 Nissan 350Z is one of the best drift cars for beginners
Imagine telling me not to drift a drift car😂
Hes not telling you morron hes marking the bad drift cars and hes right the rx7 needs time (smh humanity dosent know about)

@@ezequielpagan5604if u learn about rotaries you can make them work reliably
@@anasamru5810the guy in the video said that smacking into walls is all you need to worry about, engine replacements are expensive and can be risky for beginners
Here in South Africa we love the BMW E30's and E36's, they are light enough, have enough power to get that rear end sideways and easy enough to work on
Z31 300zx (pop-up headlights) is hella easy to work on in my opinion
Super simple engine …
I have a 1985 Z31 300ZX and while it's tricky to work on, it's a blast. I'm not too into drift culture and it pains me to see people make them drift cars. They seem really fun as far as driving them goes, but drifting them seems bad, because it's true. They are pretty heavy for a sports coupe.
I learned to drift on a 2000 ford ranger. Anytime it rained the truck would drift every corner without me trying and I learned to correct it safely. After a while I said screw it and made it slide on purpose when the road was wet.
I got older and I thought it the constant drifting was annoying so I got an actual car with traction control, couldn’t make it spin out of you tried.
I got older older and realized the new computer car isn’t so fun and my plan is to sell it off and drop a new engine in the old ranger. It’s still in my yard all it needs is an engine, I’d daily that any day and it took me like 8 years to realize it.
This is it. I love being able to put my foot down and throw the rear end out in my c10. I eventually got tired of the 350hp sbc I had and I went too far for my daily with a 440cui ls7 and a 3l whipple but that’s not the point. Lol
Bro needs to stay in his lane 😂😂 wheels,tires, fitments
Arguable, z32 was my first project car and still my current drift car many years, never really been bothered by working on them, once you understand them they’re pretty simple, and they drift incredibly well
Tokyo drift got everyone thinking you can easily drift whatever you want when that is simply not the case.
My 300zx skids good, though it is broken rn 😂
also Z31s aren’t that heavy, the heaviest version ever made was only like 3100lbs and some of the early base models were as light as 2800lbs
I'm telling you dude, I don't drift but I do autocross and the fact I have a base model zenki has allowed me to bunch above my pay grade.
id love a z31 200zr. this came with rb20det making it muuuuch easier then vg to work on compared to a z31 300zx
Now now a mid 80s 300zx drifts like a dream
Speaking from my experience, I know that a top fuel dragster is the best car to drift
A light car with a 1.6 to 2.0 4 cyl is the best way to drift cheap. Rear wheel if you want to drift on easy mode.
Best drift car hands down....crown Vic 06-11
The G35 is literally a 4 seater 350z. The two door G35s are very good drift cars and are very reliable. It is the same front-mid engine platform as the 350z, which has been a very popular drift car for years. Same engine. Same everything other than body panels.
Im glad you called it a "sideshow" and not a street takeover like they do in l.a.
Okay hear me out a SN95 or 2nd gen crown victoria are surprisingly good starter drift cars due to the independent front and solid rear axle and the P71 vics have a limited slip rear diff like the stangs and they actually are relatively easy to hold angle with as long as you dont go over what your stearing limits at
I own a z32, I agree on the point of the VG platform being difficult to work on, but imma have to heavily disagree when you say they aren't nimble, these cars are extremely tight in the handling department and only become better once chassis tuning is introduced (which you will do anyways if you own a 90's JDM)
Mini trucks are great starters, Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Chevy, all the mini trucks are great and share components with their car counterparts.
Sounds exactly like what a bought not built would say.
Older RWD Volvos, especially the I6 or the I4 Turbo models, are another decent pick. Super easy to work on, amazing parts availability (volvo still make parts for older models), and both cheaper to repair and more reliable than BMWs. The N/A i4 models are a bit underpowered, but they can often be picked up so cheaply that an engine swap might be within your budget if you're not getting a BMW. If you're in Sweden, were most Nissan sports cars are somewhat rare, old Volvos are what I'd recommend. Many also came with an LSD out of the box, since Nordic winters with an open diff might be less than ideal.
Lack of aftermarket parts for the Z31 is my only issue
It takes a while to get websites found but I PROMISE theres alot of support for it. All of it tends to be expensive but excellent parts
No one is buying an rx 7 unless they know about the engine, and are willing to sacrifice for it
Maxima’s are great drift cars to build & work on & also daily.
As a 300zx owner (z32) can confirm it sucks to work on, of course it has a lot of potential to be a good drift car if you put in the money.
In Australia the AU and BA falcons I reckon are good beginner drift cars
my 1st drift car was a nissan silvia s12 with a sr20det swap and still own the car 15 years later and still great fun to drift
Calls out RX7's for reliability then proceeds to recommend a BMW 🤣🤣🤣
The goal of drifting at least for me is to make a car with the aerodynamics of a fridge in the wind go sideways
I hope showing the z31 was a mistake, as sitting at 2880lbs (base model zenki) with a great weight distribution wouldn't count as "not being nimble" in my book. Kept up with AE86's (AE88's if your a nerd) at autocross events with my only mod being Firehawk Indy 500s, as well as people like 300zxheadass on TH-cam doing insane drifting in his local scene
These cars are great beginner platforms, 4 grand gets you a solid base model example, the after market is surprisingly well off, the community is small but tight and supportive,, and I have a quarter million miles on my stock VG30E
Can't vouch for z32s though
My best dream drift car is the Ariel atom pushing 360hp in a 1,423lbs car 🥵 and rwd
Get a crown vic, weld the diff, gut the inside.
Done. Body on frame = easy body work
G35 is one of the best drift platforms. Infinite aftermarket support, low entry cost, and they excel at going sideways. The FC RX-7 is a great affordable platform if you know your rotaries. The 300zx is a fair point though.
G35s and side shows radiate that section 8 energy
If i had a rx7 and the rotary blows in it im probably swapping a k20 or a sr20 in to it
I love my z31 300zx it’s really not hard at all once you delete all the old emission stuff
From MIAS 2023, Subaru BRZ is a good drift car, just destroy your clutch first
Good drift platform for beginners would be 350Z or Mustang, lots of Aftermarket support for both
Heavy cars are easier to start drifting, especially a front-heavy one like the 300zx
That's why I only drift non turbo pt cruisers and have a oem back up smart car. I just can't lose with that receipt
"They're not nimble, they're heavy."
Famous last works before witnessing a Challenger drift build.
I've been in love with G35s before people even discovered it.
G35’s are great drifters for $4k+ mods, it’s so relaxing beating the shit out of a 4k car rather than a can I’m still making payments on😂
Finally. Someone who understands why I totaled mine and will never again get another lol
My NA FC RX7, with rear steer delete, FA coilovers, and a bride seat was a solid drift car. I would drive it to an event, drift it, and drive back home with 0 issues. Only retired it from drifting because parts are getting expensive and harder to find.
Rx7's are pretty reliable you just have to know Wankel engines a little bit.
I can confirm , dont jump into a g35 turn off traction control with no suspension mods -> curb alert
Truth
Skill issue.
Speaking from experience orrrr?
facts, put mine in a ditch
@@DriftNick was able to hit 2 mans holes perfectly with both my back tires , sent me into a fast spin to the curb
Can confirm, 300zx is a nightmare to work on, but idgaf, full send boi!
KE70 is a good beginner drift car.
When its raining with 100psi in the rears
I really don’t think the issue is with sideshows, it’s how the crowd acts and frankly that’s not the drivers fault. Change my mind
This guy has never drifted a vehicle in his life beyond sims
my 300zx has been nothing but pain and i dont even drift it regardless i stil love it
I’ve been where that 300zx was filmed! Wild
In the end, go with an 80-90's volvo 240
350z+ stock 6.0, headers, cam.....done. Reliable, cheap easy....ish
Volvo turbo with a red block best thing to start drifting with.
Personally, I’d do a miata(low power lots of mod potential) or a e36(not too expensive, good long wheelbase)
I stumbled on " I won't probably believe why"
I have never seen a video or comment section with so much misinformation in both.
Z32 300zx's have a cramped engine bay, Z31's do not. The Z31 isn't really heavy tho so much as suspension geometry is effed. They were designed for endurance and comfort after all, and have much more in common with the 280zx and S12 200sx than any of the newer Z's. The aftermarket support for Z31's has never been more active and new mods are coming online all the time but they still suffer from a severe lack of options. The toughest part is just the failing electronics tho.
Honestly, any supercharged v8 sedan or coupe can do all the stuff. Just without the style with jdm stuff.
"Its heavy"
Well yeah its a drift car
Rx8 is honestly worth the money to drift it's a Hidden Gem
Sn95 mustangs are great starter drifters for those in North America.
You will not convince me out of my z32 drift car
My z32 has 290k mi, daily it to this day, looks like it has 100,000 miles on it, people constantly think its a 20,000$+ car based off its condition, but more like 2,500$. Super reliable car though, I drive it 3 hours away, to the drift track, hit 20 laps initiating drifts at 3rd gear at 50-60 mph, then drive back home, no issues. As long as you take care of it, and maintain it, these things are beastly reliable, but also beastly to work on though. Super hard car to keep drifting though, the steering angle is shit, and its super heavy, I give kudos to anyone drifitng one with stock LSD and stock steering angle, like mine, it aint easy.
Idk man drift my rx7 and Z31 frequently and haven’t had many issues with either the only issue at all is the lack of aftermarket support on the Z31
350z. just put an angle kit on and you can go drifting and have so much fun
maybe link another short where you actually tell us what to get to drift.
bro i love that great video of the sideshow lmao
also i think the ford raptor is probably one of the best drift cars out their wouldnt you say?
😂
I personally would go the ChrisFix route and go for an old mustang. A great starter car
well u could use a 250gt skyline its driftable and it has a bit of speed
Laurels chasers falcons mx5s are all fabulous drift cars
bro really said r7x 😭
My cousin just got one a couple days ago. It’s his dream car. I agree they have a bad rep and personally I don’t even find them that exciting anymore due to their popularity and typical appearances in takeovers and whatnot, but he and I have similar taste so I think he’ll do it some justice
FD rx7’s can be very reliable, they are just prone to over revving, which is exactly what drifting does and everybody wants to drift the rx7.
Honestly if your a beginner I highly recommend a 2002 Lexus is300 or a new edge mustang. Both are inexpensive and easy to drift
Yea nah I'm fully convinced falcons are waaaay better stock drift cars, they come standard with the mighty Barra. And here in Australia you can get em cheap as $1000.
Im just starting out in the car and i was wondering if i wanted a jdm that has great handling and easy to work which one would yall use?
Im suprised 4th gen f bodies havent started taking over in the american drift scene. They arent too heavy, decent balance, and are simple as tractors. Easy as shit to work on, cheap as dirt, and only flaw is the optispark
