I just installed a drift knob in my 93 Silvia but when I press it the car doesn't drift. I bought the car thinking it could drift. My friend told me to pull the ebrake but when I do the car stalls. Is he bulls***ing me or is the car broken? I need help asap cuz I am scared to drive the car like that. Also why is my Silvia not right hand drive

best first post ever

I'm pretty sure you have to push the drift button 3 times quickly before it actually activates. Remember tho it is the quickness in which you push this button that allows for a good drift. Godspeed young nala

I'm not usually good with this sort of thin but did you check the drift knob fuse?

Haha Where do i start? Ill try an be nice even though you didnt search Nico or Google. Okay lets see here...Your Silvia is a 240SX, that is why it is left hand drive. It is in fact not a Silvia at all, that's what the Japanese version of your car is called. JN1MS3 i believe is the first 6 letters of an American bound S13 VIN (Vehicle Identification Number located on silver plate attached to your firewall, underneath your hood)Second of all. You bought a drift knob. Did you think that since it had drift in the name all you had to do was pull it and you would automatically drift? Drifting a car is a complicated technique that takes more than parts to accomplish. It is a controlled slide through a corner. The purpose of a drift knob is to ease the use of your emergency brake during driving. Thats it. You don't have to hold down the little button on the end of the e-brake to pull it up an put it down, making it a lot faster and easier. This is especially useful for drifters, who use the e-brake on a regular basis to initiate their slide or increase angle. That is why it is called a drift knob. You still have to go out and learn how to drift.There is nothing wrong with your car. It is stalling because you are not doing it right. There is a whole forum dedicated to drifting on here and thousands of youtube videos of how-to-drift's. Its best to find a track to practice, but a lot of people end up using empty closed parking lots. Check out this video (and then continue with the links on the sides through part 2,3,4, etc.) Your friend was right, the car will most definitely drift if you learn how to drive it, but it's not going to be an overnight thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzlrQHJYedk

There is a Sticky at the top of the 240SX forum with a lot of various information on the s-chassis that would help you clear up a lot about your car.

is this a joke ?!?

Thanks for the advice dude..

well dude....you didnt really think that a piece of metal in your ebrake would really make you drift automatically did you? IBTL

ibtl but pretttttty sure it was a joke. dont take it so seriously guys.

Obviously it's a joke, pretty funny.

i have a drift knob in my car if all it takes is pressing it in to drift then my s*** is broken too...lol. Im hoping this really is a joke and if it isnt i have a question, why dont you sell your car because you have no idea what your doing????????

this thread makes me wanna go on a rx-7 forum and say "hes guys i just got a FC rx-7 turbo and my friend told me i need to put bigger pistons in it to make more power but i cant find them anywhere, will someone tell me where to get them?"...lmfao

My car does not have a drift knob. It does not even have a e-brake handle in the console....

How can I drift?
