i dont really care, its an open forum....and many people know, im an assh0le when it comes to posers acting as drivers or just idiotic drivers period.


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..

19s are fine just expensive on tires...
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

+1000000 I say you should post a pic of yourself. You could've gotten those pics from another forum somewhere. And you can post some of your sister if you want. I don't mind. JFWY

Nick, if this is really you, I hope you have learned a life lesson, Dont do this **** in the streets, you could kill innocent people for your pleasure. To the op, I wish you well in your new endevor(sp) and hope that you keep it on the track and not the streets.

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.

it's a strangely, strangely addictive show. i think cuz they actually seem pretty damn normal. i remember the one where hogan takes wifey to a fancy shmancy hotel for their anniversary, and on the limo ride over they stop by a liquor store to buy some more champagne and he kinda reacts to the price of the cristal, just like anyone else would.
i heart hulk... i want to give him a big hug. he seems like he'd be a good hugger.
