But be real, you kinda have to expect us to be skeptical. Only way would be picture proof of you holding todays newspaper with the screen of my350z.com in the background.
Dont make puff shut down the studio.

btw, to the op, my advise: (as in LEARNING/STARTING)
1. spend money on a decent lsd
2. spend money on tires
3. go to d-days and get some instruction
worry about power and suspension later until you can manipulate the car as is. the z drifts fine stock, especially when you can take it, shove an lsd in there, and drift the bank at irwindale on a stock motor...
tie rods will help when you can already control the car stock, you just get the luxury of added angle.
clutch/flywheel will last a long time. maybe invest in a spare set of wheels if you plan on making this a regular thing.

The a doesn't NEED anything but in my op
Musts
Front tie rods
2 way clutch LSD
ive done20+ drift events and put 60k miles on my daily driven/commuter Z
That being said heres other things id recommend:
GOOD coilovers, cheap **** is inconsistent
i use 16front/14kg rear zeals
replace all your arms and stuffI use cusco sways and battle version arms, tanabe sways are stock-like and american ones made the car understeer too much
response mods, you dont need tt until your competing in fd
ive got full exhaust(including test pipes) a plenum spacer and ecu flash
stock clutch is fine Im still on my first despite 70+mph clutch kicks all the time.
The e-brake is a joke on the Z, but you dont need it unless your tandeming
that's my setup: in the year since i dialed it in every pro that's driven my car loves it and how easy it is
Dont buy cheap **** it doesn't work well and breaks too easy, Im on my phone and tired of typing I'll add a little more later

19's?? all you to do it is some hairy n*ts.. if you wanna win or atleast compete it looks as though its all posted here already.. imo the best mod is being f/i when it comes to drifting.. you dont have to have low end TQ but it would make life much easier on you and the car.. my two cents..

fi is far from the best mod, it doesn't make you a better drifter, it should be the last thing after suspension and chassis prep. Power won't make you better, but a well setup car that does everything you tell it will.
I very much suggest the op hold off on the turbo kit if he hasnt already bought it.
who are you learning from?
I'll be working at nopi Atlanta this weekend if your gonna be there pm me, theres alot more advice I can give

i think the kid has gotten his fair share of lectures and lots of haters. all he's doing is persuing his dreams of drifting and is blessed to be in a position to do it.
have u guys seen hogan knows best? his dad don't mess around.
