The RB26 is an iron-block straight six built to be over-engineered, which is why thirty years later people are still finding more in it. This one is boosted well past standard and, crucially, converted to rear-wheel drive — the all-wheel-drive system that made the R34 famous is exactly what you do not want here.

Extended steering lock, a locked differential and a handbrake that does one job. The white Turbotec competition livery is deliberate: on a smoke-filled circuit, you can always find it.

Worth knowing
  • RB26DETT — designed for Group A racing, then left in road cars for a decade.
  • Converted to rear-wheel drive. Drifting is the one discipline where AWD is a handicap.
  • Extended lock lets it hold angles the factory geometry would never allow.

The drive

Three stages. Stage one you cannot fail — an empty circuit and as long as you want. Stage two is scored on angle and line. Stage three puts you behind a car that is better at this than you are and asks you to stay close. Most people hold their first proper drift inside ten minutes.

What you feel  ·  PULSECORE SLIP

You cannot see the back of the car, so the haptics become the back of the car. Rear slip sits in the base of the seat and rises in pitch as the car rotates. When all four tyres let go the road texture disappears completely — the silence is the warning.

Every setting is configured before you sit down — force feedback, haptics, seat position, field of view. Select the experience, and drive.
