Hey, haven't been on forums in ages. But since this a car topic I had to jump in.
But anyways the tire they use are probaly some bad ones. No tread tires are slicks and slicks get more traction. Best combination would be have tires that are very sticky in front but unsticky ones in the back. Drifting is loosing traction in the rear tires thus pushes the rear end foward and making it a slide. With an AWD car with those setup of tires it will give you a better drift and easier to control. When you hit the slide you loose most of the control till you start counter stearing and the front wheels will pull you out of the slide giving you traction again.
As for the maxima. Maximas are slower than g35z. A modded maxima runs maybe 14-15s because its front wheel drive thus meaning on a stop the maxima will always fall to a Z or g35 being there mostly the same because its a better motor and its rear wheel drive.
If you want your car to go fast its better to get a single turbo because its cheaper and better. When running a twin turbo setup it means you have to divide the exhaust between two turbos which means theres something slowing down the exhaust from going to the turbos to spool. But with a single turbo all of it goes straight to the turbo quickly and directly instead of routing it thus having longer piping. Most cars go with a big single turbo anyways because of money to price ratio.
I just got a car. My cousing got into bikes now and his car has no motor. So he gave it to me and said hed pay for the motor and turbo so i can get the car running. So now i have an AWD turbo charged machine. Once i get my licesne the car is mine. Fully built 3000 dollar automatic transimission already. All that is need is to pic up the motor which is a jdm motor from japan with some nice aftermarket pistons. Next to the shop where it will be converted from a 2.0l to a 2.3l stroker. some more modifications here and there and it will be making 500 easy after tune.
