I always wanted a tt300z, when i got done, I got a svt cobra. The cobra was fun. I also had a few vollvo 260s and 780s. I wanted the Z, but its too good. Its designed not to slip.
SR is excellent for someone who wants to learn drifting. By far, it is the hardest engine since we have to constantly make sure that we are at the best power band (lack of power in low RPM yet can't rev it too long) - this is why when we see drivers' POV when they are driving SR, they constantly look "so busy" and on the other hand a driver who drives JZ, V8 will always look "less busy". If you can master SR, JZ, V8, etc is a piece of cake :) I personally love and enjoy v8 LS3. Easy to maintain and the power is there right away (benefits of NA). Anyway, Great video!!
I had a TT 1991 2 door 5-speed. It was a fantastic car. Never drifted or anything like that, but handling and feel it was truly awesome. You sit so low and it really drove like it was on rails. Never felt like a handful. Great surge of torque from about 3500rpm. Had mine tuned with a straight through exhaust. Not too loud. No need for silly blow off valve ‘Pshhh’ sound either (has a recirculating valve’ I think it’s called) which feeds waste back in to reduce turbo lag. Had the 4-wheel steering, but I never really noticed it’s affect when driving. It just went where you pointed it. Put a heavier clutch on it after wearing factory one out which took some getting used to from memory.
How/why is 4 wheel steering detrimental to drifting? It seems to me like it would HELP. My thinking is that while drifting a right hand turn, the steering wheel is turned to the left of the car to keep the front wheels in line with the direction of travel. If that same car in that same turn had 4 wheel steering, then the rear wheels would also turn slightly to the left. Which seems like it would be a good thing in a drift. 🤷♂️
No? It makes drifting incredibly unpredictable. You want a predictable back-end, not one that responds simultaneously with your constant steering inputs in a drift
I think the idea is that the 4-wheel steering counteracts rear instability (over a certain speed). It keeps the car balanced and the rear wheels turn to aid this and prevent oversteer. That’s my understanding from when I had my 91 TT
S13 front suspension is mcphereson and a downgrade on the Double wishbone front the Z32 has. You can get plenty of steering angle with aftermarket Z32 parts.
Weight is the z32's drift capability problem. Yes. It the car is very well balanced but changing directions quickly is effected by the car's weight. We just like being able to easily smoke the tires, at will, whenever we feel like having a little fun. ha-ha
