Get a welded diff so you dont deal with old worn out stock lsd problems opening on you, bucket seat will help you be in better control and not yeet the car into a ditch, and better suspension will get rid of that body roll/make car movements more predictable. A lot of your issue is banana handing the wheel and not enough experience driving (we all start here). Start messing with tires pressures now and make it a habit. Keep at it dude! Cheers! ✌️

I slide my 2+0 300zx TT around on occasion at a track. I'm far from being a expert, but some things I have learned is getting a good suspension setup like a powertrix full adjustable setup helps alot. When you get aftermarket tension arms you can adjust the caster to get a little more wheelbase. It helps keep the cars weight settled through the slide. Also, either welding he diff, or replacing the stock viscus diff if its slipping will also settle your car a bit more.

Sick slick top yo. Probably gonna need some coilovers though and I think rear subframe collars/spacers can help with wheel hop somewhat. Still, I think it's the short wheelbase of these cars that make it real snappy and harder to get sideways consistently.

in case it helps, my old stock '91 2+2 was way better than my full suspension '96 slicktop 2+0. The wheelbase really really helped. the diff is VLSD, and the locking properties change with age and temp. it looks like it wasn't able to lock very well, causing unpredictable initiation.
