Gaines-Vegas BabyThat's What She Said
and also for those that don't know the 300zx is rear wheel drive with a 24 valve DOHC it's not much but that all could change soon like the additon of twin turbos could be in the near future

dont wast ur time if it's an auto. ur only gonna tear up the tranny!
make it out to the drift event in cordele the 21st!
don't do it. You have no weight in the back....all of it is in the front. the most you can do is probably slide the car.
sideways+pole = best way
sell your stupid automatic boat car. if you want to drift, buy a decent car like a 240 or a e30 with a 5 SPEED and learn in the rain.
The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.
watch tokyo drift...it will tell you everything you need to know...
haha that is the best idea here!Originally Posted by Sneezin
^lol. driftin an auto. "shakes head in a dissapointed manner"
and you bought an auto? why?
first off you would need to drive you car off a cliff and get insurance money to buy another car with.. because all motor stock 300zx's suck ass.. the only good 300zx's stock are manual bossted ones..
You know better; next time will be a ban.
wrong again you fuk wad.
I had a NA 300zx 5 speed hard top... i liked the low end power the NA had over the boosted car and it was easier to control a car with 200hp instead of it all on the top end.
You have 17,000 posts and you are the biggest moron on this site, I don't get you, how can a person be as stupid as you are?
you dumb fag can you not read.. he said AUTOMATIC not a 5 spd wait let me super size that for you HE SAID HE HAS AN AUTOMATIC STOCK 300ZX and the last time i checked and i am pretty sure that most will agree with me THEY PHUCKING SUCK BALLS.....
You know better; next time will be a ban.
Look dipsh!t, you clearly wrote BOSSTED 300ZX.
i wish i had bosstLOL

read what you just wrote and think about if it means anything.
honestly being a 300zx TT owner, id say **** a 300zx NA and get a TT. But as for drifting,300's are terrible to drift.. weigh to much.
o wow and like you have never misstyped a word in your life?? o my bad maybe some one should make misspeling illegal. o wait then every one would be in jail jackass.
You know better; next time will be a ban.
I have one in a while, (rarely). But i don't repeatedly misspell pre 4th grade words.
Asshat, I posted in this thread before you did. I'm checking if anyone replied to me. Then i have to let IA know what you wrote is B.s.
also why are you following my around from thread to thread stalking me and ****? sorta gay or nut swinging if you ask me.....
You know better; next time will be a ban.
^ o wow you really go me there.. it hurts real bad. lolol dude when i type on here i really don't pay attention to wtf i am doing i don't honestly care unless it is a really serious time. and wow i realy care about what you think??

Look im done. Just read post #72 and say whatever.
awesome.
come out to the drift event in cordele on the 21st on a friday night.
you can drift your auto NA 300zx.
its a little bit of a challenge in comparison to other wheelbased manual rwd cars, but definitely doable!
no worries, learn to steer, brake and throttle control.
its shifting of weight and balance, you can even do it on a fwd auto car....
obviously not a smart choice of platform but doable..lol
you will have so much fun.
its gonna be a night event so thats to your advantage, you can make a few adjustments with tires and simple setup to make it alot easier.
if you need help or have questions, there are people who will help at the event.
only 70 bucks and can get more info at southeastdrift.com or 240atlanta.com
good luck.
Cadamson16 the 300zx, TT or not, is not a very popular drift platform. Autos will always be much much harder to drift.
That being said it is possible. Its just going to take a lot of practice. Like V-Empire said come to Cordele on the 21st. A real (legal) event like this is the only way your going to make any progress as a driver. Check the forums he listed in events. If you sign up Im sure you can find some people to follow down there and even split a room with.
If your serious about trying to learn come out, we always welcome new drivers and have instructors on hand to help teach you.
Go up to the Dragon with a steering wheel lock on at full speed. Best method I can think of.
Results may vary.
Bozzio for president.
lmao @ fine print
But seriously... 300z... not a great drift platform. Not to say it can't be done, but there are other cars that it's much easier to drift in, and much less expensive to fix when you blow the motor and/or wreck (like s13 240s lol... dime a dozen)
Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.
lol, dually's and drag cars have less understeer than a 240.
Have you ever seen a Z32 Drift? Have you ever drifted a Z32 or driven one hard enough to slide?
They can be easily stripped down to under 3,000 lbs, how much do you think the "VIP" style sedans that are drifting weigh? Yes, a slightly longer wheel base but look at the Miata...they drift fine with the approprate driver correct and compare their wheel base to other vehicles. If you've never seen someone comfortable in a Z32 300zx then you don't know if they are good or bad to drift or not.

I don't think it's so much an issue of the wheelbase or weight, I think, and don't quote me on this, but I remember someone saying that Z32 had very very little steering angle. I would think that's an easily fixable problem with the right parts, but I'm not an expert on Z32's.
Weight and their wheel base has always been peoples excuse to why they can't drift in a Z32. What you don't know is those same people can't drift any other car either

I think a lot of the "you can't drift a Z32" comes from people who seem to forget about the HICAS system....

Best way to learn to drift is to do donuts and boast to everyone that you are a Formula-D licensed driver. No one will want to do drift battle with you. The best part is you'll save money on tires because everyone will know you're the #1 drifter in your area so you'll never have to actually drift.
Or just go up to the mountains and start driving really hard... you'll learn how to drift. If you don't learn, you'll know it.

You can drift an auto, it will just be a harder learning curve. There is a dude in Myrtle Beach who drifts an auto Lexus. He is pretty good. I think you would be better off with a different platform. Your weight dist. and the auto is a double whammy. Good luck either way. Like some others said, try to make it out to an event. You will learn twice as much as if you street drift. Just my opinion.
thanks dor al;l the input as for the event i'm gonna try just to be a noob but still u gotta learn somewhere
:idb:
Gaines-Vegas Baby
