I don't track my Z (Auto X or Road Race) but I have heard the Z can get fuel starvation from hard cornering or in heavy transitions. How much fuel did you have in the car when doing this?

I drift my Z from time to time. 2nd and 3rd seem to be the best gears to do it in with the 7AT. In 2nd I don’t have to throttle the gas much once it breaks loose I roll on the throttle in 2nd. Easy to drift in this gear since it’s so short. Once you get the hang of drifting in 2nd you can try 3rd. It takes more practice speed and balls to do it in 3rd but once you successfully pull on Godzilla drift its hard to wipe off the $hitty grin from your face. Just practice in a empty parking lot or a road without nasty ditches or curbs.
