Daniel 'Fanga Dan' Woolhouse is a drifting driver from Whangarei,New Zealand. He has been drifting competitively since 2003 and was crowned the 2006 D1NZ champion, driving a modified Nissan silvia S15. Daniel started the D1NZ championship driving a Nissan Laurel C33 but did not win his first round until the start of the 2006 championship while driving the silvia. He went on to take another win at round 5 on his way to becoming the 2006 champion.[1]

The silvia that Daniel uses to drift has been built as cheap as possible. It retains the standard engine with a replacement turbocharger to improve response time. This with an aftermarket ecu helps to make 267kw at the wheels.[2] The majority of modifications have been made to the suspension, drivetrain and bodywork. With such few modifications the car has been very reliable through two seasons of competitive drifting, also helping him to become 2006 'drift king'.[3]
