Can't drift my Z

The non-sport package cars use an open differential, so you're not going to get any lock. Hope you were on a closed course.

With enough room on the track you should be able to start the drift no problem, however without a limited slip differential your going to have difficulty keeping it there. Aftermarket is the way to go.
