Yesterday was my first time riding in my homeboy's 240 at an actually road course event. I've been thrown around a couple times in a 240, but at this event was much more divergent. I don't know if it was the fresh tire smoke at 50-70mph or the hard jerks from going back and fourth that made feel nauseous. The first time I didn't eat that much. The second time I ate pretty good and still felt nauseous. I'm prone to have motion sickness tho. The whole point of me getting my 240 was to drift and now that's not going to happen. Before the whole drifting scene got heavy. I was into Honda's and grip battles. My question here is did you guys feel the nauseous when y'all started out drifting?

same as car sickness. your equilibrium is being thrown off. once your body and mind gets use to the feeling, it will subside a little I bet. if you were driving I bet you wouldn't feel sick.

^ What they said, if your driving your likely to be less nauseous. I get dizzy easily, but I rarely get nauseous if I'm driving. The only time I get a little dizzy is if I'm messing around and keep doing donuts the same direction for too long.

burning rubber, exhaust fumes, and the motion all contribute to feeling nauseous. When you're driving, your focus is on just that, driving. So you won't notice it as much, and after a while you get used to it.

When I ride passenger with someone, i'll get a slight nausea but i'm good after i get some food.

I had to stop for my wife because she almost threw up, but when she got in the driver seat and did it herself the same day, she was perfectly fine.

i get hella car sick riding passenger. If the person can drift and not spin out i'm good, but if they keep spinning out i get really sick. Whenever i drift i feel totally fine.

This doesn't look anything like "General Discussion About The Nissan 240SX and Nissan Z Cars".
