Drifting with a Z?

Who use his 300zx to drift?

 

Only when it rains....and this being Australia equates to a sum total of zero drifting excursions a year. I think you would find there are more capable drift car platforms running around and besides that, the Zed is far too pretty to drift. :zlove:

 

Way too heavy to drift bro...
But i guess there is a monaro running round in the drifting comps??
IMO the zed is a track / touring car not a drifter but im pretty sure theres a zed drifter on here ...

 

I get mine sideways from time to time...

And done 2 skidpan courses in it, I find it quite good and stable, Its just a matter of driving the car enough to pick up its subtle hints and then putting the car how you want it...

but in the same way I don't claim to be any good, lol

To be honest there are more capable cars out there, and in the same way if you did want a competitive drift car I would say don't worry about power (TT has easily enough to start with) and consentrate more on suspension and weight reduction..

First mod would be hicas lock bar, coilovers then maybe race seat etc...

Its your call mate, just don't go all ghetto and dori on us! lol

 

Video

ho yes I know that.
My 300zx is a drifting machine, just missing a good driver

Here is a video of my Z:

There is also this one:

me.

Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done.

Also, don't wrap it around a telephone pole.

 

i get her sideways every now and then, and more recently i had a nice long go at keeping it side ways more than once..
its addictive and when it rains next on a weekend im gonna head out to some factories n keep practicing late at night hehehe, im bad..

 

Our track zed is almost ready for drifting.. just waiting for the 2-way lsd and coilovers to get here then we're ready to go.

Zed too heavy to drift? baaah.. you just need a decent driver.

 

You are building a Z for drifting.
Do you have pictures?
Me the main thing I'm missing is a Hicas eliminator (i just disable electricaly the hicas pump...) and then everything (except the engine) will be ok

 

cool video

Looks like you got the hang of it in the end *thumbs up*

 

Drift crash

Only crash of any kind I have ever done was drifting a few years back.
Only minor damage and dents are still in the door.

Yep at the end
But now it's even better

 

what were you doing at the start ??? Getting to know the track for optimal drift ???

 

Rubber necking? damn tourists!

Just kidding.

 

Awesome video, well the second one

for some strange reason I only get sound on the first one and my computer is only two weeks old!

Does anyone know what video the red drift zed is on, I want to buy it
cheers

It would be codecs download a program called G-Spot it will tell you what codecs you need for a file

 

Ive attempted it before.

Vid of my effort HERE.

It can be done; but like others have said; its much harder in a zed than most other cars. Zeds tend to get very snappy in high speed slides (I'm talking 140+kph and not the pussy 40kph stuff) even with the HICAS disabled.

 

Yeah I gave it ago on the weekend

I have a HICAS Loack bar.

You gotta be quick to catch the back end, but once u have it its not so hard to hold it out there sideways, but when you want to fling it to the other side to change directions for another corner is were it starts getting hard as back end come around so quick!!

all FUN but .. I WANT MORE !!!

 

lol that was my girlfriend driving

But she is too scarie to attempt to drift when someoe hold a camera around...

 

OK but did you remove all the plastic, rear seat...
With less weight on back, it's easier

how much cost a Hicas lock bar in australia?
