Basically, shortened knuckle with a modified tie rod point. My lower control arm is still intact (shortened bump stops), mostly because at my current height and wheel setup the tire would catch on the fender and will jerk the suspension.

I'm actually doing this in a G37 sedan, so suspension points are the same. The major difference between the Z and my sedan would of course be the heavier weight in the rear. This helps in weight transfer, so I can get a long entry and get a decent amount of rotation. And just like you, I'm scrubbing the fronts, dropping speed, and just waiting until the "corner opens" to get back on to it. However, without the extra angle for the next corner switch back, lock-to-lock is too shallow, and I end up losing the drift.

to be honest, I'm pushing the car to drive like a 240SX, so I may be asking too much out of the chassis layout at the moment....

nice! do you have pics of any drifting? if so, just post!

240's are so well sorted we just need more testing with these cars to figure them out.

Update : April

Added 20MM Z1 spacers to all 4 corners (on top of arp extended studs)
- no longer any front clearance issues
- feels more stable having almost 40mm wider track.

Sorry, just tuning in to this thread. Im curious to why you are changing the proportioning value in the rear?

Any New Updates on this Sub'd!

it's where it belongs, the ABS on this car gets downright scary at times. It has put me off track more times than I care to remember.

Awesome build man! Haven't seen a Z other than forsbergs built for drifting quite yet. I drove that englishtown track during a HPDE... Scary experience if you're not drifting lol

Building my Z as a drift car also. I drift at Clubloose North in NH. Last season was my first time drifting the car and it was bone stock. Made it to 4 events and had an absolute blast. Currently I have done Tomei exhaust, ISC coilovers, ASD handrake with dual caliper setup, welded diff, SPL solid diff bushings, wired switches for YAW sensor and brake lamp. Should be a much cooler experience than last season with these mods done.

Awesome mods on this one for sure! In for info on the ABS-Delete / proportioning valve swap. Anyone know of a DIY on this / parts list? And thanks for puting in a link on the Yaw sensor switch. The one in the DIY no longer works. :tiphat:
