Do try drifting is as standard but you can also try this:

Nissan Silvia s13 (Universal for all models)
Power: Just under 390hp with an oil change


Parts to buy:
Everything except rigity improvement! For beginners start with a low rev turbo setup but for the advanced use the high rev turbo!


Settings:

Ride height: -10 front and rear
Spring rate: 6.0fr 5.2rr
Damper bound: fr5 rr5
Damper rebound: fr5 rr5
ARB: fr2 rr3
Camber:fr3.0 r0.5
Toe: fr0.0 rr0.2

Diff: all settings to 60

Brake ballance: 2/9

TCS: 0
ASM: 0

Downforce: N/A


It's taken from a tune shared by TwinturboCH

Works well!
 
TwinturboCHs setup for the car is pretty much perfect as a starting point, customize it to your liking.

That said, if you're just learning you should spend time drifting it stock (possibly with a locked diff) before you tune it so you can appreciate the changes more.

A fully drift tuned car isn't going to make you learn all about weight transfer and you could develop bad habits. The stock car won't initiate for you unless you enter properly, forcing you to learn more about the physics of the car :)
 
Sort of odd question, but why not the chassis rigidity? Did it hurt the cars drifting ability?

A very slight amount of chassis flex allows the car to break and regain traction more progressively. The same is true of real life drift cars. :) For instance, we stitch weld most chassis during prep, because spot welding (standard) allows too much chassis flex (even with a full weld in cage), but a full seem weld doesn't allow enough flex once the cage is fitted.
