Here is a good question for you guys. I'm on stock suspension & stock diff. I'm thinking I want to take my car out just like that and learn on stock everything before I upgrade. Get the fundamentals down before I start upgrading and hopefully learning stock will give me a better understanding of what i'm doing.
What do you guys think? Will it be waste of time for me to go out on stock car? or is there some logic to my madness?

Do it! No shame in being stock. Do you have the OEM LSD or an open diff? As discussed in previous posts, that may be your only deterent.

my car is still stock as far as suspension, i do have a cusco lsd though. i have been driving this setup, for road race/drifting, for over a year now. its a great car to learn on.

HaHa, I already have a Nismo LSD sitting in my garage. I've just been lagging on the install because I was trying to decide whether to go FI or not. I'm not going FI now, so it's time to get my suspension dialed in for the track/canyons.
Man, I really wish I could make the Drift Day but I don't think I'll have my wheels/tires/LSD issues sorted out by then. (Oh, I work all those days too.)
I am gonna be all over the next one though. I live like 30 minutes from Willow Springs.

350ZNV is right bud. You're in the same boat as me. I suggest getting the Nismo LSD since it comes with all the extra hardware (stub axles) needed to upgrade the base model to a LSD.
