It is a purpose built 400hp Drift Car with tuition in mind through every step of the build. With every necessary suspension part replaced with aftermarket adjustable items the D-cars chassis is smooth and easy to learn Drift.
Combine its great Drift characteristics with a good amount of horse power, a patient and experienced tutor you will be learning the skills needed to control and drift this machine much quicker than you would imagine.
It is possible to be tutored in your own car. This will significantly reduce the price and can be arranged in conjunction with any D-School event.

about me
For me drifting initially started with what we called “power slidding” (at the time “drift” wasn’t heard of). We would go “power slidding” up and down the winding Pukewhao rd on weekends.
A few years on “drift” had taken its hold in NZ and I got my first drift car, a lime green s13. Along with a few other Nissans I moved up to my current S15 Silvia which to begin with was powered by a RB26. The natural process of improvement lead me to a Chevy V8!!
For the 2011- 2012 season I am running the L98 6.0L V8. so far lovn the big v8 tourque and im currently working on getting sum crazy lock!!
If anyone is needing any advice, have ideas to suggest or just wanna have a yarn feel free to hit me up

Hi guys, my name is Jodie Verhulst i originated from a small town called kaeo in the northern part of NZ....I first got into drifting through my partner drew, after letting me have a go in his drift car for a couple of laps i was completely hooked!
I started drifting late 2008 in my road standard nissan skyline 20det. after finding out that drift cars don’t make reliable road car’s (thanks meremere armco) I sold my skyline and brought my first beaten up fully fledged drift car a Nissan Cefiro. The cefiro was hugely underpowered with a 20de engine and it looked to have been rescued off the bottom scrap pile. Over the year of owning it and upgrading nearly every part on the car it proved to be an awesome learning car and played a major part of me gaining my confidence with drifting.
After selling the ceffy I brought the supra as the next project and to date it has been a huge trial of setting up the car to suit the style of drifting. After a whole year of testing and changing setups the car is finally on track and ready to burn some serious rubber!!

about me -
Hey, I’m Trace
You’ll find me in the Starters box most track days. My job is to make sure the whole day runs on time and keep an eye on anyone misbehaving!
I have a broad background in Motorsport. Having a petrol head for a father it was only natural of course.
I first came on board with Drew and Jodie not long after they started out! One reason or another they invited me back and now I’m almost a part of the tool box.
Trace.
