Drifting in a 5AT coupe (how to?)
Since we don't really have too many discussions about this, May we have some people who do successfully "drift" their 5AT coupes chime in on how to drift a 5AT? and maybe post videos and such?
it was briefly discussed in this thread: Drifting in G35 with AT? but that was for a 07+ sedans Basically the information that I got from there is use manual mode and feather the gas/throttle and something about getting a custom LSD or a new one? but that doesn't really help much on how to actually proceed to try to drift in our cars Last edited by chinabean : 05-17-2008 at 04:48 PM.

I don't think its possible.. If it is it will be very hard because of the manual mode. You'd need some performance mods for sure to break the traction

Some 5AT had the LSD added as option if it came with the performance package I think.
I saw a video of a 350Z AT drifting and in the video he said it was only possible due to the speed. I think you would just accelerate hard in a lower gear, turn opposite direction to understeer then keep the speed to maintain the drift. I never drifted in summer though (besides when the rear rips out from a stand still) so don't take my word on it; haha. In winter I did it pretty much the same way but it is alot easier to drift in the winter. I kept the car in first gear, turned the wheel, and when the rear slipped out I just maintained it by keeping the revs high and turning in the opposite direction of the drift.

neutral drops at speed LOL, I don't think its going to go very well since you don't have a handbrake or a way to dump the clutch

You'll need to get an aftermarket LSD first. Then using manual mode with the VDC off, you can learn to drift.
HOWEVER, if you're really serious about this, you should learn to drive a MT first, and use a MT car, as the trans is going to take a severe beating in a AT, and you WILL incur (hefty) repair costs.

yeah I know, I keep wanting to trade in my 5AT at the dealer somehow and get a 6MT but i don't know how that is all going to work out since I already changed a few things on my car and my 5AT is like excellent condition inside and out... *sighs* I guess drifting in a 5At wouldn't of been so bad if it wasn't for having the foot-e-brake Last edited by Calvin : 05-18-2008 at 12:48 AM.

I want to trade in my G too but if you already have payments on your G plus you trade it in for another car I think the payments would double or soemthing. I'm still WAY new on this whole car buying thing.

Drifting is great fun, but I've never tried it in an automatic car. For some reason I think the tranny really won't like it. You're better off going down to a track and beating it around there, the tranny should cope better with that sort of punishment.
