370z drift setup?

I wanted to ask you on how you've gotten the car to ebrake drift cause mine does not have nearly enough locking power even after retightening it. Yes, I do clutch in.
I mainly power over or clutch kick. Only power over when it's raining.
When I use the ebrake its on tight low speed turns and I also use it with a feint move. First I swing the car away from the turn then towards the turn, then I yank the ebrake and counter steer. Works pretty well with me.

I really dont recommend just using spacers on these cars. I thought of doing that until I saw how short and stubby they tie rod threads were. You will be left with very little threads so it wasnt worth it to me. You might want to hit up George Marstanovic and see if he can make some of these for the 370z. Im sure he will if there is enough interest. Steering Angle Rack Spacers - Maverick Motorsports
