When i go drifting evens or days i just clutch kick it. the ebrake really sucks. I tried putting project mu e brake shoes with my brembo cross drilled roters. And no luck. Some told me to put a bigger bar over the orginal e brake to give you more leverage but i didn't. Instead this year i put in a cnc hydro ebrake. I want to try it out and see how it does. I just can't get it bleed proporly

The e brake on the g sucks it's better to go hydro..I'm also thinking of drifting this car like my previous 240sx..19 are not a good choice to drift with I'd go with 18 because of tires but if u decide to boost then you would go with 19..if u can't afford a LSD try to find a stock one for a g and weld it but if u have money for one then buy one maybe a 1.5 if ur still gonna dd your g and make it as light as possible cuz the g is a pretty big heffer to move..lol

the stock G works pretty good for this. I usually try to flick the car in (Scandinavian flick) and it usually works out pretty good. Clutch kicking it is an even easier method for slow speed slides. Oh but the whole flicking thing goes wrong sometimes:/ not a good sight

Adding to my previous post. It helps having a 2way LSD and a supercharger on top of good suspension. A built motor is good too. When tuned properly the car is super easy to drift. The gas pedal turns into a drift switch. Apply ample pressure and you are sideways no problem. In wide turns when you hit that sweet spot during the drift where you can go full throttle is awesome. The car make so much smoke, Its like skywriting on the ground. I guess I have found that power is key with this car.

G35's have no problems sliding. They have plenty of power. The stock VLSD Is sluggish and response is absolutely horrible. Shim it shut or weld and open diff. 2-Way if your a baller. haha

When your drifting nicely, redlineing is the least of your worries lmaoo.

When it works its fine, i just hate it when it responds so late that your already done with the corner.. Today on local mountain roads on one of the runs instead of having a nice *** toss i had a massive one wheel peel.. Annoying!
