So for those of you that don't know, I've got a 5.3L & T56 powered 240sx that i've been building up as my DD/Drift car. I finally made it out to a real event...I'm just learning and I was told i did well for my first event .
Here's the vids:

Cool slidy driving, that's me in January. Will give you credit it takes a lot of skill to do that right.

not bad just play with throttle little more to help keep it going around corner

Looks Good

Thanks for the comments guys

I've quickly realized two things...the V8 has a lot more rotating mass, so when you let off the throttle it keeps spinning...unlike say a turbo'd 4cyl. I need to start taking that into consideration and play that a little better haha.
And as one of my good drifter buddies says..."MORE ANGLE!!"...meaning i need more steering angle haha.
Thanks again for the comments, it helps keep me going!

I have 2 freinds with 240s that want to go the V8 route. They like what youve done.

wow man you are good that was amazing now i got something to look forward to by the way i found an ls1 and t56 and a t70 turbo i am goin rear mount single but that looks good man how do you afford tires

[MunsonAuto]

My father and I run a full service auto shop, so when customers order new tires, and they're old ones have some life left and they're any of the sizes i can use i snag them and throw them in my stock pile haha. It saves them the "Disposal Fee" that we or any "garbage dump" would charge and it gives me some drift tires....win win .
