the sx hold so much a better longer drift, the 300 corrects itself. though the 300 is a far better handling car :)

 

Is this because of the HICAS in the zed?

nope my na swb has fantastic handling!

Amazingly , I bought this car , like all the previous ones I`ve owned , to just drive it on roads .

Call me crazy !

that z looks twitchy when in drift not right balance!

looks more graceful though.

Shurrup , Gregory , mind the bairns ! LOL

yes, hicas is part of the reason why the car tries to correct itself but Its also down to the wheelbase vs track. The SX is long and narrow in comparison, so the tail hangs out more easily....

 

It looks twitchy (tries to correct itself) becuase it has better balance, for handling.

The 300zx is wider with the wheels placed closer to the actual corners of the car. It also has a lower centre of gravity - hence better stabilty

All cars try to correct themselves when the rear end is out. You can just let go of the steering wheel and it will straighten itself up in the direction it was sliding.

The Zed understeers naturally (as does an S13) whereas the s14 is neutral (as is the Rx7). You can lighten the arse end of a neutrally balanced car by just letting off the throttle during a corner, the arse swings out and you then put the power back on to hold it there and control it. Hence why the S14 and Rx7s drift better than Zeds.

Pffffffft, Zs are fine at drifting.... http://picasaweb.google.com/silver300zx/MikeSVideos/photo#5088727815999539154

Awesome video! So much smoke lol! Zeds look so mean when they are decked out for track/drift.

Jdm 200sx have hicas as well.
