Hello!!!
They do use 2x2 z32 to drift in japan but as far as i know none have been prepared for any uk or irish drift series .Mainly due to weight they can be slimed down but there still a heavy car .In japan they tend to fit the sr20det engine for weight and easier to fix than the vg engine and theres an endless supply of them .Some have the rb25 or 26 engine as well.To prep a zed for drift you will need a threw the dash cage stripped interior, tension rods adjustable rear upper arms, hicas lock bar ,bucket seats and frames ,machincal clutch pack type lsd,coilovers,polybushes ,batt cut .plumed in fire exhingusher,harness. thats just the basics :cool:

Alloys, which brands to go for and which to avoid???
Enki /trail /ssr/veilside /ultralite/buddy club/volk/advan all have the jawa mark which is like the japenese kite mark and are good quality and many are forged rims.Id avoid rims made in the uk or italy they can be bad quality.German made wheels are good quality so are some us made wheels.

Seat question
Bride recaro or koning are the only options for base mount after market reclining seats .Or its weld or bolt brackets to the standard ones but you will find the seat sits a little high .Ive got the part number for bride super low frames if you need but there £120 .Recaro uk dont list them for the 300zx only the 350z the zed one needs to come from japan .Koinig i think are german and ive been told the fit is not that great .
