where my "Z"'s at ?

[300ZDRIFTER]

I was wondering if anyone had any videos of 300zx's drifting? I'd really really want to see them in action to build a little more confidence before i go out there and tear up my tires up! thanks!!

[tiger]

haha I have NEVER seen a 300z drift.....
at the garage I hang out at we picked up a 300z and stripped it to the bone and planned to blow it up at the track but it never got that far and got sent to another junk yard.

[PhoPower]

wanna see my atuo 300zx drift? haha. I have a vid of a 300zx drifting somewhere on my comp il post it up once i find it.

[PrOxLaMuS© S30]

FIND IT!

BE THE FIRST! well 1st generations at least

[soultron]

Oh wow, Option no 91 has a 300 in it, I just watched it today.
There's a black one in the preliminaries. It was cool. v6's sound neat. There's gotta be more that that one though.

[tiger]

well I guess there are some z's out there.
Most of the Z's i've seen are drag cars. They are pretty quick but when I think of that mess that's under the hood I reconsider? How do you work on those things?
oh BTW... have you guys ever watched Drift Tengoku? Hahaha.... those vids are funny.

[BooZTT]

I know 2 brothers in Japan who both drift Z32's. One of them recently won BM Hi and was on the cover of Battle Magazine. Here in Hawaii there have been several Z32 drifters...it's not as uncommon as you think...trust me. *wink*

[Chaos Fire]

Mike, post up your Z32, I lvoe that thing.

[Brian]

damn mike. i was just getting ready to post that guy!
hahah

anyone that tells you that you have to pull out or drop in the motor and tranny seperate are idiots.

just did a full 60K tune up on my brothers motor ( me and him worked 2 weeks on and off...)

we WERE doing a turbo build, but decided it would take too long and have the car down to long, plus funds got short real quick...

but NA slick top 2 seater....very rare...plus 75K original miles

have fun

: we are though going to swap in a vg30dett....soon, but not TOO soon.....then again, he is still looking at Rb25's......compact, light and rather easy to install...specially b/c its the SAME TRANSMISSION AND BELLHOUSING....i know this b/c a buddy of mine in town just completed a RB25det swap into his s14.5 with a s15 front end conversion...very hot stuff.

anywho...pm me for more details and such

Yes it can bolt up to the VG30DETT transmission.... But the shifter will never line up properly..unless highly modified. The VG30DETT transmission has an extended linkage. The RB25DET will bolt up to the RB20 or of course the RB25 transmissions and possibly the VG30ET also..that's the single overhead cam VG and has a regular style linkage. I did one of the very first NA to TT swaps in the US..and the first on a 2+2. This was years ago...we've done several since...including convertables.

You'll also need to modify the front crossmember if you plan on running a stock hood.

sometimes going too in depth annoys people, thats why i didnt go as far as you.

just custom mounting brackets, and linkages. pretty simple if you ask me. Nothings perfect, but you can get it quite close

props on the swaps.

annoys people??

WTF... didn't annoy me.. BooZTT is the sh!t... don't dog on him

Thanks for backing me up..but I don't think he was making a cut-down...haha! I think he was just stating something. I can see how it could be read two different ways though, so maybe mk3mann should remember there are LOTS of people on these boards who don't have the level of mechanic skills that we have and I stated what I did so those people would not be misled. I think you'll both understand that. I agree things can always be modified...you don't think I didn't get all sorts of people telling me I couldn't do what I did? It's all good...thanks though PrOxLaMuS© S30, and mk3mann...don't sweat it.

as the Z Page will be up next week with a drift section shortly there after. We have been up to no good with the Project 300, from custom steering arms to a quick rack and a custom subframe & suspension you may be seeing alot more 300's sideways in the up comming season. Videos will be posted as soon as we get some at legal locations

thats awesome, love those gold rims on there, and would be glad to see some 300's get sideways, but lets hope they dont get to popular like 240's (not hatin on 240's, i love 240's, im just sayin they're prolly the most popular drift car) but it would be so awesome to have just a few

[brakian]

This is a really crappy small picture from a camera phone, but I'll get more soon, hopefully of in action. But, yeah. That's my Z. 1986 300ZX Turbocharged. It's got crazy high miles on it, and the clutch is going pretty badly, but hey, it still kicks in the races and drifting.

Thanks, drifting the Z32 makes for a very bold entry, in a field dominated by 240's. It will be interesting non the less so see how many appear in the field these upcoming months as we see more results from our R&N. I'll be sure to keep you updated along with the rest of you who have inquired about this setup.
