Just wondering if anyone drifted their 300?

 

It's not something I've been able to find much evidence of so just wondering if I'm looking in the wrong place or if there is a reason why people don't...?

 

My 350z drifts lovely but is worth too much to me to be driven in that manner too often.......

 

My 300 is also of value to me but isn't worth as much (just before anyone gets offended) :hang:

 

I get that an N/A 300 has an open diff but is there some other reason that people don't seem to drift these cars?

 

To me it seems an ideal candidate for the task really???

 

What do you guys think? :)

Thanks for the info all, jap.slapper, Ive done a bit of track day drifting and am ok at it :)

 

I agree with the Volvo/bm suggestion too as the last car we were using was a Volvo 960 auto!!! Ha ha

 

Suprisingly it did very well, turns out they have an eaton locking diff on some models, luckily the one we had o

Was one of them! :D

 

I've had a couple of silvias that were as you say easy to drift and fix :)

 

It just baffled me as to why such a cool car (z32) doesn't seem to be on the drift scene at all!

 

I'd also put it down to diff/ breathing and breakage issues...... But thought I'd ask the experts :)

I think a large part of it is down to the fact of how difficult it is to carry out simple maintainance and component changes compared to that of an SR or JZ

 

and heat/venting

 

If I remember correctly the suspension/steering setup is effectively the sama as a GTS-t so there are certain 'bits' available but nowhere near as much as 'S' bodies and the like

 

I bet the Volvo was a hoot to drive

The Volvo was indeed a laugh, with it's high seas swaying suspension and auto box, certainly put some 'cooler' cars to shame though on the day.

 

That was at oulton last year, and as you can imagine, team werthers was indeed written in the muddy paintwork! Ha ha :D

Not sure if you've seen it recently, Matt's just welded in his cage and it looks pretty good, with a contrasting Takata green interior and white exterior
