Default Video of me drifting at willow springs

Gonna make another 1-2 tomorrow, have some more angles. Just wanted to get a quick 1 together before bed.

Well its been 3 years since ive owned a drift car and 3.5 years since ive driven at a drift event. Well I came back for my 1st time to slide in my Z. Only thing I have done to my Z is some Tein S tech springs. I think im going to save up for some coilovers and maybe a 2 way. I think if I had those 2 pieces I could run mid 3rd gear entry. For the time being I was running the end of second (6500rpm) or low 3rd entry at about 55-60ish mph. The straights are really narrow and hard to manji on due to that, so needless to say I hit the dirt a few times during the day, lol

I had a BLAST and was pleased how I did for the day. I managed to kill 4 tires and left about an hr early since I had no more drift tires. Most everyone I came accross at the practice event was very laid back and chill.

+1 for Just Drift Practice at Balcony!

no comparison.

this car drifts so much easier, plus i LOVE the power with this thing stock. Its nice having that additional 110hp and 100fttq, though the only down side is the weight of the Z, its not as easy to throw around like the 86 was.

Decent driving, esp. for not having drifted in a couple years.

Wish I could afford an '07 350z and then take it out to the track and beat on it like it's nothing.

Haha, don't let them see these videos! Automatically void the warranty.

That happened to a bunch of Evo owners when they first came out. Some people from Mitsubishi sat around searching for proof of racing to void out warranties on broken cars.

Not sure if Nissan would do something like that, but who knows.
