370z drift setup?

I have personally tried to pull an ebrake on an auto 350 and wasn't very successful because the engine is still connect to the tranny and your brake fights against the engine. So the car just acted really confused and i Looked like an idiot. You need a clutch to separate the two and then you can completely stop the rear wheels from spinning so not sure how they were doing it.

I bought a set of stock 18's and the stock tires which are 245 and 265 worked great. New rears will last a full day for an beginner\intermediate driver with about 20-30 short runs. Once you get good you will need to bring extra spares. I would disagree with used tires as they don't last as long and you will waist time swapping them out. Plus new tires drive so much better, when they get worn down you start spinning out a lot.
