Hard to tell without being in the car, if you let go of the gas it will will try to straighten out or flick the other way but thats the only thing I can think of. Unless you have an automatic and are trying to pull the ebrake.

I have a 6spd lol. But, it just feels like after it brakes traction it kind of fights to stay sideways. Its really not that big of deal to me right now. I still have fun in it. I was just curious if anyone else was feeling the same thing.

I mainly power over or clutch kick. Only power over when it's raining.

btw a welded diff solves all lsd issues for drifting and adds float to the rear end. |

Pulling the STOP LAMP fuse disables a non-traction issue where the car cuts throttle when the brakes are activated. This also disables your brake lights, and should not be done until you are off public roads.

Also if you are really serious about drifting there are adapters that George also makes for adding a second caliper in the rear. You can find it on the link above. You just need to buy a second caliper similar to the one you have and a hydro ebrake/ lines

I made 6mm units and it leaves enough thread for drifting IMO. unless you drift with potholes. The issue is not so much the thread as it is the wheels wanting to turn more than the lower control arm lets you. I've shaved some of the lower control arms for more angle...it will be enough until an angle kit is made for the 370z. (I have a set of narrower wheels for the front to test) Been developing this car with the help of 2 FD drivers. |

URA, do you have any pictures of how you grinded the lower control arms? I'm still waiting for Voodoo13 to give more information on their drop knuckles, but I bet they will be crazy expensive.

guess you gotta do what you gotta do though. Im subbing this thread. Anyone have any recommendation on coilover settings. I have stance GR+ and I am trying to dial them in for AUTOX... im guessing the same setup for drift would apply with maybe a little more neg camber up front. Maybe an alignment printout or something? thanks!

Adapters won't solve the bigger picture since the lower control arms are in the way,+ the caster is not very much stock (need arms to adjust) and the Ackerman angle is def not for drifting on this car. The Angle kit that Chris is working on takes care of all these issues as far as angle, caster,camber,ackerman, and controlling bump steer is concerned. ABS is a problem ... and working on pulling it out. |
