Im looking to buy a 2006 infiniti G35 specifically for drifting. I have no idea where to start. I would like to have a static fitment in the back and get it sideways as soon as possible. Any help is greatly apreciated.
What kind of help you are actually looking for? What seems to be the issue / problem at the moment? Buy the car, get driving and if/when you run into issues then fix them.
What exactly do i do to get it prepared for drifting. I've seen videos of people at take overs trying to drift and the wheel will fall off, or they will just kinda drive in a circle. Are there any tips worth recommending, or parts worth buying?
Is the car stock? Some very basics: - RWD car. - Locking diff (proper mechanical or even welded). - Decent power. If the car has VQ35DE it should be plenty to get you going. - Manual gear box and a strong clutch. - Lots of tyres and a space where you can practice - Maybe coilovers to stiffen up the suspension. And make sure your wheels are properly tightened.
Clutch-kicking is a lot easier when you have a clutch to kick Sure you can drift an auto, especially in the snow when there's a lot less traction, but it's much easier to stay in control with a manual. Some auto boxes might not be able to handle the abuse either. If you are buying / building a dedicated drift car, a stock auto box doesn't really fit the picture imo. Either buy a manual one or be prepared for manual swap.
