I wouldn't use anything less than 235 on the front of a Z IMO.

in italy we can't decide nothing on the car...
tire specs are:
225/40 225/45 r18 FRONT
245/40 245/45 r19 REAR


OR WE can ask to Nissan the possibility of 19'...
245/35 r19
275/35 r 19...
stop...

there is a clip that you have to get to that pushes it in or out. if you touch the outer side of it on the top you will fill it. pull it outward and down and boom connector comes right off.

BTW looks like you guys had a blast man! im so jealous hahahah... good work out there Ian, Mario and Kim!!...cant wait for the drift season to start here in New England to put this s14 to work!! lol

I got it ! It surprised me how big the clip was.. Too Bad I can't test it my car is having a cylinder 1 misfire. So it's running in limp mode. Can't wait to fix everything and weld my differential! So I can finally be cool and start posting action shots in here

Little b*****d is quick! This was such a controversial round because on my lead run the S14 understeered completely behind me and they gave us a OMT but everyone thought no OMT was necessary. The guy is a good friend of mine, I have no problem with the output. Proud of myself for catching up with him during my first competition, haha. He ended up getting 2nd, and Mario up there (512_Z) was KILLING it at this event!!

Thanks dude! I know haha, I can't wait to tandem with you some more! I'm done with the crap, repainting my interior and installing all of my new bushings and my tein angle spacers this week and at the next event I'm going to try running my tires backwards, I need to make more smoke... Hoping to see both of us tandeming in the top 8 at least next round

Oh, and I'm lowering the front of my car a smidgeon to counteract the Z's squat during drifting, and my old front wheels that are flush are finally fixed... Spacers in the rear and hopefully I can look almost as good as you!

And @ Johnny - This was my first time at GGP but from what I've heard, yeah. At Mineral Wells we get longer and more insane courses with 100mph+ entries. Welcome to texas

Me at my second event ever lol. It was a really ruff track and as you can hear I was bottoming out 99 % of the time in te back lol. It was a ruff event for me because my diff is on its very last toe haha. The legs already gone.

Time to build s13!

sold my z a while ago because i realized drifting my only car would probably turn out bad if i kept pushing it. so i sold it and got a daily (q45) and track car (miata). the q will eventually be seeing drift duty as well.
