those discs do look awesome... just from wiping off paint? much props to you 
RWD drift is not impossible, but very hard to get consistent. the gpm tires are 55's, very very hard, and i can break traction relatively easily with RWD, on hardwood floor. after that it's all about letting the throttle go and letting the car's weight (6 cells, remember?) carry it through the turn. throttle at about the very end of the turn.
it's nowhere as flashy as AWD drifting, but it's a nice skill to learn and very rewarding when done right. my Z's electronics are getting glitchy though, so that's not helping. i'll get to the bottom of that and hopefully i can get it to drive more smoothly.
when i had an iwaver, i could drift that pretty readily... but it felt really featherweight and couldn't carry a lot of speed without spinning out. the six cell Z seems more fit to go fast through the turns.
