I'd drift it as it is for a while before splashing the cash on it. Get your skills up and then you'll be able to fully appreciate the difference in feel each upgrade makes.

^ Agreed, the 350z in stock form is a very competent drift car right out of the box. Things I would recommend in order of importance would be an aftermarket LSD to replace the factory viscous unit and Rear subframe bushings. Beyond that the car has plenty of power in stock form to have fun.

^I'm with these guys, 350z is super easy to drift when stock

also... when you buy coilovers, get something better than K-Sport

It's always cool to see a z33.
My friend is also drifting a 350z but his has been stock for
2 years he changed the LSD an noticed the difference right away.
I suggest you try various technics and master it stock.
