My 2003 just plain sucks at drifting, the abs is basically fighting the whole time. My 4.5gen maxima was so much better at drifting, i was amazing. Every time I attempt to drift my 5.5gen, a few minutes into the drifting my abs LIGHT comes on, will go away after i stop using the ebrake. whats the deal, is this the problem? And i just replaced both rear calipers, rotors, pads, everything. Ebrake works good, at least when I'm parked that is.

turn the TCS off if you have it

Yea I don't have it, I have the HLSD but don't think that's the problem..hmm

because its front wheel drive, you moron

dude, first off... pull your ABS fuse if you want it OFF. I dont know about you guys, but my 4th gen can do some great things in the snow...

There should be an IQ testing procedures for driving.

LOL yes I am aware of this. As I stated in my previous post I owned a 4th gen max, that also happened to be FWD! lol being fwd is not holding me back from drifting.

IBTL

n00blet, you CANNOT drift FWD. you are just dragging the rear end, it holds for a bit on dry road and a bit longer on rain or snow but youre still just powersliding. to drift the rear wheels need to be getting momentum by the wheels getting power but not gripping for the slide, something that FWD cannot give

honestly youre just going to end up flipped in the ditch if you try drifting FWD. if you want to drift get a beater 240sx for $1000

YOU CAN NOT DRIFT A FWD CAR - E-BRAKING IS NOT DRIFTING

Please stop trying to drift in snow before you kill someone...you may think you have control of the car but you really don't

Wow strong hate in this thread. This thread does not deliver answers. And I have performed amazing drifts in my fwd car. Cannot believe that anyone on the org has never drifted their maxima before.

Yes, I understand the physics of the vehicle while pulling the e-brake, call "drifting" what you want, I call it drifting because I am sliding and counter steering to maintain control and perform a flawless slide in the snow. Chill out "n00blet".

youre sliding and counter steering but you are not drifting, you are just powersliding. you cannot hold a FWD slide long enough for it to be a technical drift. the only way you have a hope of holding anything with FWD is going fast enough to throw out the rear end for a fair distance

srsly this will be you

im glad someone said it cause everyone was thinking it!

^^^ hahahah

Anyone else want to flame me more? Its ok guys, get it out of your system. You guys are full of crap if your telling me you never pull the e-brake around turns in the snow to have a little fun.

FWD drifting? lolz.
I do this when its snowy, but I wont call it drifting.


anyways, I had a spin on a public road.
some idiot cut in front of me while I was doing 40mph. I tried to avoid cuz I couldnt slow down enough. the back wheel skid on ice and put me in a spin 180 degrees.

I was the red car and had green light, there was no car in other two lanes.
black car turned right on red.

never if i wanted to drift i would have got a Silvia, dont want to risk rolling my 3rd gen or smacking a curb sideways from doing something that FWD cant do

dont understand why you ABS would come on if you only pull the handbrake.
if youre braking in a corner it would understeer.

Yea, I didn't think that was supposed to come on, there is definitely an issue somewhere else. I pulled the abs fuse when I bled the brakes, Idk what it could be.

That's why you have to be careful. A Silvia would get stuck in the snow I get around here.

dude i live in Northern Canada, i deal with the crap 7+ months of the year. some people i know drive their Silvia, Skyline, and RX7 year round. though its usually Mustangs and Corvettes that get stuck in the snow

you put the video code between [*youtube][*/youtube] without the *'s.

still don't understand the problem. its probably just because you are a moron to begin with. my abs doesn't kick in on my 3rd gen. doesn't kick in on my mom's miata, or my dad's F150.
Ima just go with the fact that you have absolutely no clue how to drive a vehicle.

let me clarify: they work, we just don't let 'em.

damm dudes got ***** but thats how you do it you need a good amount of speed

Gotta agree here. Once that rear end starts swinging around it tends to keep going.

in high school my friend had a 96 2dr golf, he always went snow sliding and one day he hit black ice and hit a curb sideways he was able to fix it himself but he almost scrapped the car. i remember we went out one time (i never did anything really just watched) and he did a 180 on a 2 lane road and his e-brake got stuck up after, he had to stomp on it to get it down and threw some bolts inside so it would hold a bit

nobody else that knew him knows where he is or if hes still alive, we all think he rolled and is dead in a ditch somewhere

Your ABS shouldn't be kicking in...

I've actually done this before on dry road... not my thing though... illget a rwd for that

bigleman, this is the first time i completely agree with how derogatory your remarks are.

what a stupid question. i cant believe i even opened this.

lmao i was just thinking that too, he pretty much gave a spot on answer in 7 words

I can't lie, I do e-brake slides sometimes when nobody is looking Hard to resist when you live in IA and the roads are snowy for a good part of the year.

You can control the slide with the e-brake and the throttle...and a little bit of steering, pretty easily.

Thank you MoncefA33, someone who is not a complete phaggot and knows what I'm talking about.

idk what youre talking about still.
are you trying to say your car cant drift, or are you trying to say youre such a great driver you deserve a better car?
whats your point?
if theres a problem we would like to help. if its your personal thingy, live with it.

Everyone on the .Org is gonna light you up for this.

Oh and ps; I think the term "drifting" is used loosely here.

I drift ...........
