Drifting a 370z semi automatic?

FPenvy

in the vid I posted seems like he just gets it in 2nd and starts sliding with the VDC off. not sure if they pulled the fuse but I don't see (it's out of frame) him ripping on the e brake too much though.

my tires have life but not much. once it gets closer to mya (zdayz) and I add my new rubber I may trash the old ones for a test lol

lol well he knows what he's doing... I've never used the e-brake or even clutch kicked to initiate a drift.

I was just assuming the OP wasn't experienced enough to be comfortable using just momentum and throttle to step out the rear end. With enough speed, there's no need for e-brake or even disconnecting the brake light fuse

I expect pulling the fuse and adding hydraulic e-brake become more useful when you're looking for sustained drifting on a road course. Donuts are easy.

What on earth is a semi automatic transmission?

I'm only 530 miles from you, I'm sure I'll hear your car when you do this

I was wondering the same thing

Perhaps the OP is just referring to the fact that you can put the AT in manual mode.

without a doubt. trying direction changes without the aid of a clutch or good e-brake would be tricky lol

but you can still get one hell of a on/off ramp slide going lol

I believe he meant 7AT.

and yea keep your ears open i'm sure you will hear it from there

I can do it in an open parking lot without removing the fuse or using brake or clutch. I just require a lot more room for the transition - not really possible on a road course.

And yeah... cloverleaf for the win with a full tank of gas

Actually, VW use to make a Semi-Automatic Beetle. It's a stick shift with an automatic clutch.

Yes I remember those old VW's. I never driven one of them but a far relative from my family had one of those and I remember him driving it but I never paid much attention since I was just a youngster. I knew it was semi-almost-automatic-whatyamacallit.

I know there is a tread in this forum (with pics) explaining how to disable completely the VDC system YAW control and else, and at the same time (with a switch) enabling the system back on for normal driving. I just could not find it. In the meanwhile I found this How to completely disable the VDC and this other one Disable Abs. I hope it can help.
