i was wondering if it is possible to go driffting in a maxima. i tried a couple of times but i could not get the full motion of going sideways. i would go, but only half way then it would be over. is it possible? has anyone done it before? your repli would be useful so i dont continue doing it like a fool. thanks

It can be done by a professional driver on an unpaved surface. For a demonstration, go to http://www.adcritic.com/content/nissan-maxima-2000.html

Do you mean drifting or oversteer? I can slide all 4 of my wheels through high speed sweepers pretty easily...its lots of fun. To get huge "looks good for the camera" oversteer, one has to try a lot harder. Either hit the brakes in hard high speed corner or yank the E-brake on some kind of slick surface. Just remember, big oversteer is not the fast way through a corner.

Yes you can drift a maxima i have a 3rd Gen and my friend and i customized my e-brake handle to where it is a trigger rather than the button but the key is to go fast and tap the e-brake as you are about to corner. But i have done it before in a parking lot once.
