So I went drifting again...

[Z32TT]

i'll see you at 626 man! seeing as my car is still down i wont get to participate but it'll be good to see someone representing the z32. couple questions for you though seeing as i've been having the same problems. i was wondering how we can remedy that steering lock problem? i know powered by max has the max angle ext. for the s chassis but i dont know anyone that makes something like that for the z. but is adjustable tension rods the only thing you can do tho give yourself extra angle? oh and just curious how wide are the rpf1's you have in the back? i've been sliding on my 9.5's for a while but i was wondering how wider wheels would feel because its hard enough as it is not to gain traction with the 9.5's but a buddy of mine has some advan sav2's in 10 rear and 9.5 front that he's willing to sell me in payments, and i was gonna buy them, but i want to see if anyone has slid on 10's in a z and if so how much more difficult is it?

you think .5 inch is going to make that much of a difference? get better tires if your looking for better traction

I've slid everything from a 9J to a 10J from 235 tires to a 255 tire.

And the PBM kit works on the Z32 as well. It just costs a little bit more.

how about the steering angle, how can i fix that? i dont understand what you mean when you say the max angles will work for the z32 but they'll cost more... wouldnt i just buy the same ones as the s13 and put them on how would they cost more?

i think yo mis understood what i was saying, i dont want to gain traction. what i meant was its hard to maintain a drift on wide wheels because its more ground contact in the rear for your tires so its harder to loose traction so i wanted to know how much the .5 would effect the ease of my drift. i know its going to make a difference i just want to know if its like go turbo difference or kick the clutch some more difference.

They cost more because the LCA modification and spindle modifications are different from the S13. Remember Zs have a different set up in the front than the S-chassis does. It's fabrication work that differs between the two, and hence the higher price. It's not just a bolt on affair.

[phanatikz32]

oh i actually didnt know there was fabrication involved. ok i'll look into it.

[ArticDragon192]

Yup. A piece gets welded on to where the outer tie rod end connects and the LCAs get boxed up as well. The LCAs also have the bumps stops relocated to allow for more angle also.

Dragon, Z looks sick. im trying to find a front end, or perhaps a lip. are you rocking a Nismo Front Fascia Kit? side skirts? rear?

All I have are a Jspec front bumper.

I don't like making new thread with the same stuff, so I'll just update this thread with new pics.

I went to a JustDrift event at the Balcony May30th and had a blast! I was actually able to link the whole course. So awesome. Funny what a little bit of brake work can do. Anyways, on to new pics!

In the hot pits ready to go

E-brake initiation

Not sure if I spun out here, or kept it going. I'm pretty sure I spun though, lol.

My car in the background in the middle of transitioning

Going around the horseshoe. SO much squat, hahaha.

As I find more pics, I'll post them up.

cutting springs down to lower a little. Is this very bad to do and how s***ty of a ride would it be? I may do this temporarily

[300freekzx]

very bad idea save and buy the right stuff

It would be one of the worst things you could do to your car.

[DanDrath]

oh alright. I dont understand why is this so bad to do? Arent lowering springs just smaller springs? Sorry this is such a dumb question but i would just like to actually no why

[ArticDragon192]

They are built shorter. The coils are tighter allowing it to be shorter. They aren't cut. Cut springs will make your ride so terrible. It's the wrong way to go about lowering your car. Kind of off topic though, no?

[machewcoy]

Dude man, I'm lovin' it!!! By far, you have some of, if not THE best, action shots out there!

sorry to go off topic on ure thread. I just saw you said something about knowing a lot about suspension so i figured i would ask. Thank you for the info and btw i love your fuccking car! haha one day mine will look that good too=]
