Why is it lol? Some of the best Porsches had it. lol. Escore in Japan drifted with a Z32TT and won the nationals. lol. you have any idea what a away bar does? lol. It isn't worth shit for drag racing, but for cornering, does a pretty fair job. lol. I don't think Nissan engineered it into the Z32TT cause it was bad. lol. But I don't think Nissan had drifting in mind when they designed the 300ZX. lol.

i cant imagine drifting with the HICAS system enabled...that would kinda defeat the purpose.

they make HICAS eliminator kits which im sure anyone who wants to drift a Z32TT would want to invest in...

Your so right K3. You'd be better off just swaping the whole sub frame for a N/A. Besides better gearing. Anyone need some good HICAS systems I have 4 laying around. I figure they'll make a good boat anchor.

Re: do i need to.....

hmm i can get up to 110 pretty quick ....


yah so my car doesnt idle worth a damn now it doesnt matter what temperatur the ambient temp is and im thinking its my MAF or TPS sucks i gotta keep it throttled at stops and shyt lol and on the sidenote i have that freakin loud exhaust leak on the left bank its getting worse but i supose when the $$ comes itll get fixed lol ...


yah so i finally got my a/c compressor out of my car and the lines which the compressor was a biznitch took the downpipe off and got to it easier and took out the inlet pipe to the turbo also made it easier...

i dont think the Z31 has one...your not gonna want to over rev your engine. thats why they put a redline there, it means stop!!!

Re: do i need to.....

lol yah well nolonger have that idle crappy job anymore it was a massive vacuum leak on downtube goin to sumn else it was unhooked ...


but it doesnt wanna idle in gear and it is dependednt on ambient air temp so when its warm outside it idles fine in gear but the cooler it ius it wont idle in gear its just fine in park and neutral so i was thinking maybe it was my MAF if im not mmistaken the z31's had the hotwire type maf..

well here in NYC we have several highways that have good straights. For example the bruckner coming from City island going to manhattan we have a good straight in there some where. Honestly i have done 130 but that was a while ago then i did like 135 on the sheridan coming from manhattan and going towards 180 street Boston road there is a nice straight there and even better is going down hill. And most of the time i have done it is during nights at around 1 or 3 am when there is almost no traffic. I now i can do more than that but i always stop at those speeds since im not too experience driving at those speeds plus the straight end and i have to be prepared to stop. IF you live close come over and i will show you this aint no bull shit if you know anything about the highways im talking about and the locations i pointed out you know those speeds are possibles. they have more than a two mile straight and coming at about 80 or 90 before hitting them you know is possible.
