now by show of hands, how many of you guys actually drift, like go to events and stuff? i just want to get familiar with the drifters in nissanforums. thanx
tires are too expensive for drifting. Especially since I'm sportin 285/35zr18's in back.
ah come on man. get some spare rims.. and get some economy tires. even used ones will do. you're not supposed to drift on your nice wheels and tires man, at leasnt not in the back.
matt.. stop hating. everyone with a RWD nissan should drift it.. i haven't seen u at any event lately though.
Matt: errr, opps.. clicked edit instead of reply.. I love being a mod.

why, drifting isn't an efficient way of racing.

why would I do that? I've been to two autocrosses and four track events in the last two months 6 out of 8 weekends and I come home smelling like burned rubber and race gas.. how come I don't see you at TWS or MSR, where these cars belong?
drifting is simply motorsports' version of ballet. and I'm staying as far away as I can from any place that the membership is almost wholly brainwashed by pansy asshats like Mike Peters.

if you can't afford real tires, suspension , how do you honestly drift, it seems more like loosing control

200sx, so get it right bish... but what does a car have anything to do with the tires you put on it. I could have a beat with the most expensive tires on it

I think the real question is to ask who here can really drift not some piss ass powerslide going like 20. and do more than some amatuer choku dori. As for fwd theres more ways than just an e-brake(which amatuer rwd drivers use as well/ side note the e-brake is great tool to correct drift and intiate drift for those that are beginning and even more advanced drivers still utilize it for the very same reasons.) to get it to slide there is the easy/hard(=dangerous for fwd) power over or the most difficult for fwd brake drift. I can atest for because before my B14 i drove a S13 which is quite easy to drift with proper mods and is easy to do all the techniques i just mention in rwd format. As for tires if your going for some cheap ass tires than your not really drifting good enough if were you would soon find out that drifting is all about the tires sure having meduim thread is better than starting off full thread but when it comes to having a little or no thread it just ends up being like stated before just losing control.And dont even try to begin to tell me you can control a car that has no traction whether induced or not. Its is just too diffucult unless you can keep track at all times of the feel of the thread on your car while maintaining your drifts, note the under/over steer balance your car has, feel how each tire is being worn by the course and your driving style, and then lastly using your skills to correct the problems that are caused by the high thread wear from your cheap/used tires.
