1st: replace open diff with l.s.d. Clutch type is better for drifting but since this is your daily I would recommend a quaife qdf11l I think it is.

2nd: go for steering angle mods, cut steering bump stop and mabe tie rod spacers. Look into tein extended tie rods

3rd: practice at cfrc, desoto, three palms raceway, come down to countyline, and definitely check out sfldrifters.com. Support the local scene and help it thrive. More support can equal more event= more possible seat time

You should practice on your oem rims.



I gotta say not to fond of the rims or color. The rear also needs spacers. Just saying. ..

1.)if I had to do everything over I would start our with my tomei track 2 way lsd. The quaife 1.5 is garbage for drifting so dont buy it. Had both...quaife was just as terrible as my stock worn out lsd.

2.) Poweredbymax super angle kit...its a tie for #1 imho. Stock z angle sucks as even for parking. This kit is awesome.


The rest of the things I would list would help but the two things listed are the.best and most needed imo..

I am not a drifter, but owned several S chassis cars and am member on many of those forums. From what i have seen, to make your car a "drifter", you must have at least 3 different colored panels on the exterrior (one of which must be primer black) Goofy 8" bubble shifter, sketchy welded differential, and probably the most important thing, 25 visible Zip Ties holding everything together....Get that all going and worry about actual driving skill last.

+1 who is this guy? I imagine he hasn't ventured out of the 350z general section if he has an issue with that. Such an innocent soul.
