Im looking to buy a 2006 infiniti G35 specifically for drifting. I have no idea where to start. I would like to have a static fitment in the back and get it sideways as soon as possible. Any help is greatly apreciated.

What exactly do i do to get it prepared for drifting.
I've seen videos of people at take overs trying to drift and the wheel will fall off, or they will just kinda drive in a circle.
Are there any tips worth recommending, or parts worth buying?

Is the car stock? Some very basics:
- RWD car.
- Locking diff (proper mechanical or even welded).
- Decent power. If the car has VQ35DE it should be plenty to get you going.
- Manual gear box and a strong clutch.
- Lots of tyres and a space where you can practice
- Maybe coilovers to stiffen up the suspension.
And make sure your wheels are properly tightened.

Does it have to be Manual transmition? For the most part i have only found automatic.

Clutch-kicking is a lot easier when you have a clutch to kick 
Sure you can drift an auto, especially in the snow when there's a lot less traction, but it's much easier to stay in control with a manual. Some auto boxes might not be able to handle the abuse either.
If you are buying / building a dedicated drift car, a stock auto box doesn't really fit the picture imo. Either buy a manual one or be prepared for manual swap.
