I just ordered some Nexens- according to a 240SX guy they work pretty good for cheap drift tires. There are some N3000's or something on Ebay for $320+shipping. My local mechanic is going to get them near cost for me since he's a dealer. Fuzion ZRI's are good and cheap, too.

Anyone else have suggestion while we're drifting off topic (sorry)

Default Snappy???

hey is anyone else's Z really snappy out of drifts...like coming out of it i just bounce back the other way...and ive changed my technique over and over. I guess and LSD would solve it but i would think i could at least survive one drift without ending up opposite of where i want.....

im guessing you have a open diff, uprade to some sort of lsd. either stock vlsd, or get a 1.5 or 2 way if your really serious about drifting

hes right about that if you have an open diff AND that paired with the Z's 8.0 degree caster, most are even higher stock....

^245's will break loose alottt easier than 275's with stock power, i wouldnt want to burn those up anyways, ***** expensive

not saying you cant drift 275's but dont be scurred!!! rev it up, dump clutch at the begining of the turn, counter-steer and just see where it takes you
