Let me know what you thought of this video! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I love how you point out that you are jinxing yourself and you just happened to film this before that glorious crash.
Cleetus had the suspension loaded and went over some sharp/uneven paving. That broke the right arm. The car hopped again and the landing/wall contact broke the left side. Uneven paving aggravated the high suspension loads.
@@donogoobo9992 Oh I know what happened I was just pointing out how he said he was jinxing himself just before it happened.
@@donogoobo9992 didnt know, thanks
Michael 🤣
Taylor the Florida weather man.
BenniBenson 🤣
All the 240s are modded and bashed up. Next up 350s
ikr XD
EHX_Gaming 👌
and as of now checking on facebook marketplace and craigslist....you are correct
This is the advise everyone starting out needs. Just did my first drift weekend with my g35 coupe, and it was nothing but reliable. Welded diff, BC coilovers, steering wheel, traction control defeated and oil cooler. One thing Taylor didn’t mention is if you have a factory brembo car, a dual caliper setup is pretty pricey. I was able to function all weekend with a stock handbrake with a drift button.
I know these are older now but got my first missle Z and the Old Z content is great for watching. Cheers
You insured and tagged the z and drove it to get coffee at least twice I believe.
Its not a Taylor Ray video if he doesnt mention the weather for a second!
chris ennis 👌
I love how you called it ! The 350z prices are so high right now it’s crazy !
Drift Dad, Weather Man, and Windy Boi.
Nickk IRL 😂
1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTES!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!! You, Adam and Matt all convinced me to get a G35 sedan for every reason you said in this vid, but over a hr of driving straight! that's VERY impressive.
I just got it out of storage yesterday and can not wait to hit the track!
Great vid as always taylor! Keep it up! I have my fingers crossed for at least a 4 door z replacement if not a g35 sedan.
Good unbiased info. on the car.
Florida state needs to sponsor you for the weather reports! Make me want to move there SO BAD!!!
Great insight, appreciate you sharing it
Aidas Martinkus 👌
Awesome video taylor. I picked up a 03' Touring 6spd coupe in Silver 3 months ago for my daily/all rounder since I only have the funds for one car atm, I am so happy with it in stock from cant wait to feel how it changes with mods. Coilovers and GKtech bolt on angle kit next!
Got to love the Florida weather updates! Right now we have the same temperatures in AZ and I’m loving it.
jtmorrow20 👌
taking your advice big time taylor. planning on throwing in a welded diff in my e46 and just sending it.
Thanks Taylor. awesome and important points for people who's in dilemma to select what to car to buy for drift.
For anyone who doesnt like bc coils (honestly haven't heard any) it says a lot that you worked for them and saw their quality and behind the scenes and still say such good things. 🤷♂️
This is the video I really wanted, in two minds whether to get a 350z as a seat time car myself as I hate beating on my r34 GTT. Loads of useful information in this to make a reliable car. Cheers man !
Very nice Explanation Taylor. If I would have a drift car, it definitely would be a 350Z! In my opinion, they are the best in tandem runs. And the engines are amazingly reliable!
FDF Fab is the shit! Truck yeah Canada Fab! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I've been slowing building an SR coupe and the more I watch you rip the Z, the more I consider trading it for one haha.
behradsays 👌
How does one contact Martin for a tune?
Been so busy working i forgot how much i enjoy watching Taylor,hey bud if you get to read this May 11th pbir drift circuit,i already requested that day off lol you Adam,Ginge etc.is the only reason i go,🤙🤘✊👊💯
I used to work for Hothckis so its cool to hear about people using it and likeing it
ayyyyyy FDF fab for the win! litterally every drift car in Ontario and even allot of cars in Quebec runs their kits! you wont be disapointed, the quality is just exceptional
You Matt and Adam made me decide I’m getting a z before building a dank 1j s13
I just noticed the fact that Taylor's has been absolutely beating the shit out of his Z. VQ/HR really does stay strong, very surprising actually.
Super helpful video for me as I'm getting into drifting with my 350z and seeing what suspension components I need! Besides angle do you have anything else in the front? Trying to see if I would need front upper camber arms with my gktech angle kit I ordered
Hey Taylor what test pipes do you have in your car/recommend my friends nitrous Z has Megan racing and it has blown the flex pipes out twice
Ya I want one to get into drifting, I agree the 350z looks just OK but with a wing they clean up a bit
I'd say the same thing about an e36 m3. Super reliable in stock form and its the same deal with swap kits, you can put a ZF trans behind a jz super easy
Great video! Thanks !
YESSS YOU WENT WITH FDF 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
What about the power cut out for left foot braking n gas. Or the VDC cut off?
I'm having a hard time deciding what to get. 350z, g35 or z vert. Do the verts also make good drift cars or should I stick to coupes?
Dude there were so many of these at the event
Chrissy Aerts 👌
I was wondering if you still used the tire sprayer
I think the your z is awesome and wouldn't change a thing.
I would like to own it myself.
It's got me searching for one...
I am about to pick one up for drifting. And well at Jump Start Garage we brake more then what we personally build hahah
Great video, but WHERE do you guys get these cars for 3k? All I see are 5k and up, even auto
Is the vq35de reliable ?? What year should I get. And can I honesty daily it without much problems?
Great episode! Love that!
KonradAqua 👌
Love the videos man...
I have a huge interest in drifting, I drive a rsx type s which I obviously can’t drift. Been looking in getting a reliable salvage title 350z. Thoughts ??
I had this car for a year now I like it better than other cars I've had like 335 n54 and rsx type s
Hey man- if you’re ever in the norheast, come drive my stock powered e46 330i. It’s been probably the most reliable car in my club for the past 2 years, it’s driven over an hour to and from 15 events, some of them 2 days. Loaded up to 12 wheels and tires, canopy, tools, etc in there and drove it to each drift day. It’s my ultimate seat time car. It’s a simple budget build, BC coils, welded diff, slr super angle, dual caliper hydro setup. Slr I bought new, coils I bought brand new in their box, “used” for $500. Only issue I’ve had is that some gaskets and seals started leaking more than I’d like last year, after 230k miles and 15 events, so this winter I’ve refreshed almost every seal and gasket. It’s a car that I’ve upgraded as I’ve evolved as a driver, and everyone I let drive it can’t believe how well set up it is for how little I’m really into it.
7k front, 8k rear on the BC, but the suspension geometry makes it an effective 4-5k in the rear I think. I’ll be down in WV at panthera sometime this season, as this is the first time I’ve ever had a tow vehicle and a trailer! Finally!!
Is that a crack in the LH side lower control arm in the first shot?
Thanx I needed that!
Lol U called Cleetus Leroy when showing the broken control arms 😂 lovely Freudian slip
Justin Backues 🤣
Wouldn't the rx-7 be better than the miata. chassis and suspension wise?
super cool guy, loved this video
can you put the part list for your drift build in the description?
I wish you, Adam, and Ginge would all go LS cars so it was nicer to listen too 😂 but love the videos man!
Very informative. I've slid in the rain and snow but never had a dedicated track car and I've been looking at some 350z and they seem pretty simple and reliable I think you helped me decided. Thanks bro
Rev up engine has the hole or markings on the valve timming actuators in the front. It looks like a circle on each bank on the front
I was watching this video like wait didn't these arms break 😂.
Covid19 times going back watching old z videos.
You need another z maybe you might find another one you can drop the ls out the Miata in 🤔
Yo Taylor,😃 I like the chainsaw pin on your hat, I'm a logger and my whole family is and is in the forest industry, where did you get it??? I street drift a full size long bed chevy truck!!! Suspension modded built 400, crazy hard to drift!!!!
This is a good video and very helpful. I'm looking for a seat time z or g. Hopefully I'll find a good one soon.
Oh and prices have gone up. Almost $5k for one now
You are the MAN !!! i few month im baying a DE to keep learning Drift !!!! the BK1 IS RIP LOL.......
what kind of bumper is that?
Non drifter here, question time. Why do you run on a drift only car rear brakes? Why not just fronts on the pedal, rears on the hand brake? Aren't the rear brakes contra productive while left foot braking?
Ditch that clutch safety switch. That's how you kill thrust bearings!
Loved how it sounded like the car busted ass upon failure on the track.
Just bought a G for this reason right here... Hard to find g's and z's in Michigan though
Lol I was really confused up until about 11 mins in thinking you hadn't shown us the repairs you had done after the crash :)
Thank you because I was also confused
I Know that you and Adam, told TJ to get a Z what do you think that he did on event then went and JZ swap it. I know your a Seat time guy, and he seems to be more of an Builder without building to much. Great Video. Also Support North American Companys FDF fab :D
What hydraulic handbrake you running
Wow i never would have guessed those things only had a 4qt oil capacity, my e46 with the 2.5l holds 7.5-8qts lol
Can you list the most basic set up I'd need to get started
shawndr84 Coilovers, seat, gktech $200 angle kit. Done
Il say that my vlsd has been pretty good as of yet
But yes welded is definitely more consistent
Using a 4.08 final drive ?
Could you please make a parts list with links? I know you are thinking about getting a sedan to drift. I believe you should get a 2006 Infiniti G35 due to the fact of parts redundancy making it easier to make a quick fix or diagnose a problem with either the engine or parts of the wiring harness because you will usually have a functional car as a reference as well as a temporary parts donor to find a solution to the problem. By owning the "Z" and the "G" you will always have a car to drive!
It's cool to see that the miata v1 changed Taylor's mindset. Cheap seat time...
Great vid
Are you sure that was wood you knocked on and NOT sorta aluminum siding type thingy???? :p or pseudo wood!????
This car is not a revup, judging by the timing cover. Am I right?
can you talk about stock Miata drifting?
Post more videos of anything please
If you shim the VLSD’s with the right size shim, then it fully locks the gears and acts just like a welded. Plus shims are only 3-5$ from the Nissan dealer. Just make sure it’s a 0.8mm shim.
Whre can i get that front?
Will the bc coilover setup work as well on a g35? I’ve been contemplating ordering your coilover with your specs for the g35. Please lmk!
it'll be the same
I Never had any interest in these chassis then took a g35 as trade. The car already had full exhaust, intake,radiator, clutch flywheel, steering wheel and drop springs.
Even with the terrible stock angle, its absolutely the most controllable car I've driven. Its big guy friendly, I'm 6' 3" 250lbs and have a ton of space, even with the stock seats.
I love the damn car now and I've been a life long import hater 😂
Aaaannnd I sold it...
Lpatierno84 😂😂😂😂
Lpatierno84 👍
350z I’m my near future I think. Thanks Taylor!
William Stru 👏
350Zs are so great cars for drifting and i would really like to get one but the problem is that here in sweden an 03 with a engine that has rodnock costs 7000$ :(
Great video theres a ton of info in here vs you making a 30 min vlog where you talk about your channel for 28 minutes and then the car for 2 minutes somewhere but label it "everything you need to know to build a drift car"
A 4 door G35 manual is a good daily drift car, I'm buying my friends but he knows my intentions and he tells me to get a beater instead. Lol His is better than most people's daily drivers and that's why I want it, so I can have both of my daughters in the backseats also
I started with bmw e36 and 240sx s14 at the same time but I say get what you can afford
The c6 vette is a really good reliable drift car surprisingly
can you do detailed video fdf angle kit. please
I have a question I love drifting but I have never done it I buy a 350z and I have no idea on how start the project or what should I do first pls pls any tips. And how do I install the hand brake
Los joseph’s con su Karen Rojas don’t do it is a trap
I watched this when it came out, and I'm watching again and I have to say, a 99-04 mustang GT is probably just as good of a starter car. Similar price, similar power, similar weight, more TQ, the 4.6V is stupid cheap and super reliable, they have a factory oil cooler option if you want that and a coilover and Angie kit from Jon Duncan/Steve Mass will run you about $3000 total depending whether you get their stage 1, 2 or 3 kit or if you go with Jon's bolt on angle bracket. The bracket won't give you the most angle, but it's a huge improvement over stock and it's about $400-500.
What really made it cool was everybody in the crew started using the 350z like a drift missile.
I only knew this was an older video because you sound a bit different, also, the control arms weren't broken. I personally can't use a 350z because I'm too big
Who does the tune?
Where I'm located, the cheapest manual HR Z's are still around 10k Canadian (~7.5k USD). Meanwhile, E36s are closer to 3k Canadian. I wanna build a drift car to learn on - would you suggest doing an E36 with welded diff, seat, steering wheel and coilovers? Or is it truly worth it to spend more for the Z?
Definitely e36 man, the reason he likes this car is cause they're dirt cheap in Florida.
What's the current consensus of 370Z and drifting?
this dude had a control arm SNAP and send him into a wall and he still praises this chassis. you can tell he praises this thing take his word when he says its a good car
It wasn't the chassis' fault the control arms broke. That was the fault for the manufacturer of the arms and he knows that.
@@lb9gta307 i know but still imagine if you are driving and a piece of your car breaks, you think "this things a piece of shit" not "damn isr always making shit products". well actually you would probably think them both but you get the point
It was pbm. Not isr. And fortunately I see cars for what they are. Not just a culmination of pieces. If I had 3 engines blow up. I wouldn’t feel the same way. But an aftermarket arm breaking. That has nothing to do with the chassis.
Wheres the list of the build
I like the 350z and e46 body style
If money were no object, I would legit get a first gen Q45 and buy one of those RB engines from Japan since they're making brand new ones now
