sick620 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 they posted a video of a 510 drifting so yes they can, if i was looking for a datsun to drift id prob pick up a 280z they are cheaper and parts are easy to find. Do you already have a 510 ??? no but i do have a 1980 280zx sitting in my backyard! Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) http://twinfalls.craigslist.org/cto/1459905663.html '79 turbo????? Didn't they come out in '80.5. What about the S-12 with VG motor already in it. Swap a VG30et or dett in? Edited November 11, 2009 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment

Dime Dave Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 You want different, drift the 620 long bed. Solid axle is easier to set-up and the tires will wear flatter and maybe last a whole day. Yank the leaf rear springs, go coil over with a 3 bar/panhard rod linkage. Easy to tune and won't wheel hop if done right. Jam a VG30DETT under the hood and crank the boost. Now than will be different and Datsun! Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I think that 240z wouldnt mak a bad one sr or rb swap suspension some wide wheels and flairs Quote Link to comment

71ka510 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 A ROADSTER???? NO!!!! even harder to find a clean one than a 510 my fav comments on here so far....... i do it in the rain..... in the rain? that isnt drifting!!!! anyone cna slide a rear wheel drive car in the rain.. even a pegleg 36hp VW can drift then..... and it isnt all about the longer the car... or the ae86 wouldnt be a drifting staple... they ar e short stubby cars.... form what i have seen it about geometry of suspension and the weight distribution... shit they drift the solstice too.. and tha ca r is way short.... how about a 510 salt flat car? 200mph club anyone?

dirtbike daron Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 notice how all those cars drift poorly and spin out though... Im definitely an oldschool lover forever but they are in no way ideal drift cars especially for somebody that hasnt entered a drift event before. Quote Link to comment
johnbureezu Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 What ever happened to drifting for fun??? Does it always have to be about competition and whats 'best'? Those guys in those vids looked like they were havin a ball. Even though they weren't the best. That's where japan and US drifting differs. Nowadays somebody barely gets into drifting with full d1 seam welded and caged cars with dreams of takin the formula D title. Nothing wrong with that tho. But What ever happened to getting a car 'you' like and just having a blast with it? Isn't what dori as about? :confused: Quote Link to comment
