1) same as maintaining any other car. just make sure you do a service every 5000kms

2) my r32 was my first car

3) i don't know, ive never drifted my car but it can drift. have had a race driver drive my car and drift it so i know its not too bad

4) i bought mine privately, but i guess, look hard for a clean one. you would regret it later on if you just run out there and buy the first one you see

1) Are you getting a GTS / GTS-T / GTR? Either way it will cost you money, like any 15 year old car, things will have to be changed then maintained.

2) Sooner the better / more experiance and just go easy on the right foot. Take it slow and get use to the car before doing anything crazy.

3) Good for drift if you want more torque but the CA18DET or SR20DET (S13, S14, S15, 180SX) will be better.

4) Reasearch into what you are buying, I preffer local dealer as I can see the car in person, bring my mechanic to check it out as to reading whats on the import / auction sheet and hoping everyword is legit.

Just as long as you know you won't get your money back...

I am finding that now. I spent $, but really, when it comes to selling it on, how much you spent doesn't make as much difference as you would think.

Not hard to maintain. I would sugesst when you get the car though, make sure you find out when the timing belt, pulleys, tensioner kit, top n bottom seals, water pump etc were last changed. Thats important to know (usually 100,000k service). If you need to do all this, could cost you anywhere from 800 onwards, depending where you go. If its an importer or dealer, I would check the belt at least anyway, regardless of what they say, as it has probably had the k's wound back and you can't talk to the previous owner. You may also want to check castor rods, bushes etc.

GTR is 4wd, you don't want that. You will have a very hard time learning to drift in a 4wd. That said, you can disable the front end if you really wanted. R34 GT-T is heavier than 32, but with any rear wheel drive car you can do some degree of drifting...

You seem pretty set on this drifting idea, is this to eventually compete, or just for personal use, n maybe a few friday nights at driftland? If you want to build a 'hectic' drift car you are much better off starting with a silvia/200sx or 180sx as I said before

[full house]

The HCR32 Skyline debuted in May 1989. It was available as either a 2-door coupe or 4-door sedan/saloon, all other bodystyles were dropped. It featured several versions of the RB-series straight-6 engines, which had improved heads (the twelve port inlet was gone) and used the ECCS (Electronically Concentrated Control System) injection system. Also available were an 1800 cc 4 cylinder GXi model. Most models had HICAS four wheel steering, with the rear wheels being hydraulically linked to the front steering. The 2.5 litre version became one of the first cars made in Japan to feature a 5 speed automatic transmission. The GTS-t Type M included larger five-stud 16 in wheels, four piston front callipers and twin piston rears. ABS was optional (except for the GT-R), viscous LSD was standard on all turbo models and optional on all but the GXi.

R32 Models:

* GXi Type-X - 1.8 L CA18i I4, 91 hp (67 kW)

* GTE Type-X - 2.0 L RB20E I6, 125 hp (93 kW, 152 N m)

* GTS Type-X, S, J - 2.0 L RB20DE I6 155 hp (115 kW, 154 N m)

* GTS-25 Type-X, S, XG - 2.5 L RB25DE I6, 180 hp (132 kW, 231 N m)

* GTS-t Type-M - 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (158 kW, 263 N m)

* GTS-4 - 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (158 kW, 263 N m)

* GTS-4 - 2.6 L RB26DE I6, 225 hp (169 kW, Autech Version - auto only

* GT-R - 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280+ hp (186 kW, 368 N m) also NISMO, V-Spec and V-Spec II variants.

If you're building it for drift, get a GTS-t. GT-R is poop for drifting. Front lock on them is shit because of the driveshafts.

GTS-t with an RB25 dropped would be worth aiming for.
