because the rx7 rack almost fits. Very little needed to bolt it in. The bitch is making it work. It has increased steering angle too I believe

 

you can throw a 300zx rear end in the S to make the rear end more solid

 

That's the R200 I was talking about. It has to be from a 300ZX NA. The TT has a much higher final drive. The 240SX would be an easier place to get a R200. They are at a local junkyard near you. Since the stock VLSD from nissan sucks anyway, you'll need to replace the innards with something more grabby. So you dont have to waste time getting a factory LSD. Although, the factory LSD does come with the correct output shafts.

It's been a while since i've been in the nissan game. I think companies may have just come out with LSDs that fit the USDM non LSD output shafts.

 

I think the quotes, music, and voice overs are what make that video cool, but it's still cool no matter what the reason




I replaced a couple of diffs in s2000's from wanna be drifters last summer. Not something I would recommend since as was stated before, S13's are cheap and seem to do it well.

 

I watched some video of one of the few people that seriously drifts an s2000 and I remember him saying the big challenge was to properly and safely weaken the chassis to make the car more forgiving during drifts. I dont remember what was done to accomplish this tho...

 

I remember this one guy that did...

 

Im actualy getting this pack down pretty good. Ofcourse i do it at speeds no more than like 10mph but like they say: You gotta crawl befor you walk..... Definitely getting better!

 

I can't help but go sideways in this car. Compared to my old e46 M3 this car is cake to drift. The M3 was a lot harder to get sideways. I am going to have to post some vids or something... That vid in the rain is weak sauce. Hell, i've drifted my 1998 4 runner in the rain.... Can't do it in the dry though....lol.

 

^^ The S2000 is easy to initiate. It's hard to maintain and even harder to get something smooth and flowing happening for a number of reasons that I mentioned before.

I've F'ed around in a lot of cars in parking lots. Mustangs are sloppy, but REAL easy to keep control of when sliding around. The steering input is the hardest part. Usually, you can just let go of the wheel after the slide is initiated, and physics will take it where it needs to go. The rest of it is just small steering corrections and throttle inputs. Miatas require agression to initiate and maintain and lots of work to keep them in line. S13s are obviously real smooth and easy....but can be a little snappy...especially with SR20s. If you use a little toe in on an S13 with an SR, you'd be golden. etc. etc. etc.

If you've ever driven a camaro/S13/350Z, etc. and slid them around, you'd DEFINATELY feel a little durrty doing it in an S2000. It's nowhere near as smooth and secure. The nissan VLSD is 1.5way...which helps on recovery. It keeps the wheels locked at half strength on decel so the car doesn't snap back and back around. S13s also have real nice steering angles and curves. The steering is just slow enough.

Anyway, if you really have to, go out and try it with an S2000 in a safe environment. But think of it this way. With the cost of just ONE diff, you could have almost bought an S13 to slide around and not care about. These days, $1500-2000 should get you a working S13 in shitty shape.
