Mack Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 That video demonstrates how good the cup holder is Certainly is! Good to see some more Z's out there on some UK drifting looked good any exterior footage? Thanks!, no exterior footage but I have a load of stills. Ill get them up on photobucket. Actually got the handbrake to work...!!! Its not great in a straight line but fine if the tyre is already loaded from cornering. You need a bucket seat! That is for sure, there was plenty of arse sliding on the leather seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mctwist Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Does look like great fun! How many sets of tyres did you get through on the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 That looks so much fun! Can't wait to take my zed out to drift - but following what mctwist said about the tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamN Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I've decided against drifting the Zed, purely because it's my 'practical/comfy' car... I'll be getting another E36 drifter soon though Something I don't mind fitting buckets and a hydraulic handbrake in, don't want to ruin the Zed! That said, I do give it quite a bit of abuse, and will have to take it on track at some point.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Looked like fun. Not really into drifting myself ~ much prefer track days ~ smooth and fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatt Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Right! need to get on this... when, where, how much... and will i ruin my car? obviously i'll need to start saving for some rears right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizz Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Good work man nice control Think with the amount of Z's coming through we should try to do a 350 drift day with a little kidney/donut area for people that want to see what it's all about Keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereabouts are you based? we can point you in the direction of your local track HIt up some of your local tyre places and see if you can sweet talk them into selling you decent part worns for cheap or free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARE350 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) I've done some 'drifting' at Oulton Park in my previous car (SX). Did 2 days which were a sort of introduction to it all where they keep wetting 2 small tracks meaning you don't really use that much rubber, but then you aren't really drifting and just controlling slides until the track dries up some. If you've not done any sideways stuff before I would definitely recommend this as your starting point. I think it was Drift One that hosted the days I did.

PS13Silvia Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Watching that video makes me miss my skid cars, and Santa Pod... But not all all the massive pot holes at the back of the big track Our Zeds do skid really well, great engine for it too. Looks like you had good fun though, did you get home & instantly book next month too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Does look like great fun! How many sets of tyres did you get through on the day? 2 to 3 rear sets. I guess as I get better it will be more I've decided against drifting the Zed, purely because it's my 'practical/comfy' car... I'll be getting another E36 drifter soon though Something I don't mind fitting buckets and a hydraulic handbrake in, don't want to ruin the Zed! That said, I do give it quite a bit of abuse, and will have to take it on track at some point.... Mines almost standard, just polybushed compression rods and and anti roll bars. It drifts nicely, just turn off the traction control. I can still feel the stability control grabbing the brakes but Ive found a way to disable it for next time. The car does heat the oil, drift it for a few mins then take it for a steady drive in high gear to cool down. When parked pop the bonnet to let the heat escape. Right! need to get on this... when, where, how much... and will i ruin my car? obviously i'll need to start saving for some rears right? Around £65 + tyres and fuel. At santa pod there is a guy who will rent wheels with part worn tyres for £20 per set of rear tyres. He will also fit tyres for a few quid. He really has his work cut out, he must do 200 tyres in a day. Otherwise go down to your local tyre place and get the old worn tyres for next to nothing. Good work man nice control Think with the amount of Z's coming through we should try to do a 350 drift day with a little kidney/donut area for people that want to see what it's all about Keep it up Thanks Bizz, Im a complete beginner but its great fun, some selective video editing kept out the mistakes. A 350z drift day is a brilliant idea, maybe attach it to one of the meets? If you have the contacts I'm in. Watching that video makes me miss my skid cars, and Santa Pod... But not all all the massive pot holes at the back of the big track Our Zeds do skid really well, great engine for it too. Looks like you had good fun though, did you get home & instantly book next month too? Due to other stuff I haven't been able to make it back, but I plan to do so. Ive got an oil cooler and a sump spacer when I get around to fitting them. Edited January 19, 2014 by Mack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
