    i'm tempted to say it would go pretty bad...it'd be too heavy for the power...does it have an LSD?
    Need some parts for my VH 253:
    Green standard steering wheel...Green lower B-pillar covers.
    Green sunglasses holder/lower dash bits...Air-con and assorted engine bay parts.
    PM with any info.

    two, stock wont go that great,, you can have some fun but you will most likely get spanked by all the turbo ricers

    dont even bother you will either spin out or wont kick out at all even modding it will not get you very far there a heavy car u need a v8 for more power probably much easier to kick out and could probably handle the extra weight of the boat vx's

    R31 skyline with a cheap turbo set up wouldnt be bad for amatuer racing...they seem near impossible to spin out...commodores on the other hand, might as well drive backwards.

    there was a vz ss ute that went alright on the drift scene, however it looked like it was doing a burnout through out the whole drift, could hardly see the car it was versing due to the smoke trail.

    I've seen some very skilled drivers work wonders in a VT manual - with a mini spool and some frighteningly fast entry speed! - everything's possible but you gotta be dedicated

    nice conversion on the vy!

    i reckon a v6 with a good driver could stand it's ground - got plenty of torque, just got to use some skill to upset the balance of the car! - anyone can drift a monster overpowered ca - that's cheating

    Yeah VT/VX's are too heavy for the V6 when drifting... i found that out last night.
    I think you'd need to fit into the "very skilled" (at drifting) to control the massive weight transfer, or at least scale your motor up to a V8... which I don't think would help that much.
