It's not a bad car to start drifting with. If I remember correctly, it's basically a slightly longer 280z (s30). Probably your biggest obstacle with that car will be weight, which is ~2900 lbs. With that said, you can make power with the stock L28, but that thing is a boat anchor. A V8 swap would probably be easier to make power with, and weigh about the same (aluminum ones would be lighter). Lastly, I don't know if they came with a factory LSD or not- a must for serious drifting.
