In its base form it is indeed intended to stay planted, it does this by using high grip tyres, application of downforce and by setting the suspension and alignment up in a particular fashion. By removing or altering these factors I can make it into almost any style of car, that's how tuning works.
The downforce is minimal and wouldn't be a problem at common drifting speeds (<100mph), a simple matter of overcoming it with power and increased spring rate. The problem arises because the engine revs very freely and has a very peaky power curve which drops off sharply towards the red line meaning that staying in the power is tricky, this combined with being a very light weight car means that it has no real means of sustaining long, fast slides.Yeah but it still has downforce unless you "hack" it out by illicit means.
I understand full well how tuning works man, just saying...
You can tune it however you want, it's still a touring car, and it still yearns to be one.
Of course you can drift a tank car for all I care, just putting my two cents in.
I basically suit the diff to the cars stats and natural characteristics. The Accel is dictated by the power, if the car has the power to spin the tyres at any given RPM and at any speed then high values are the best way to maintain predictability and control. If the car is running less power then lower values will make it easier to sustain revs and stop the car regaining traction as spinning one tyre requires less energy than keeping both lit, it will also help preserve exit speed.I wasn't trying to be a smart arse, you just assumed I didn't know how tuning works, sorry man.
I've noticed on a lot of your tunes you run 1.5-way diffs rather than the popular 2-way.
I've used them in the past to increase off-throttle oversteer in particularly grippy cars, so it's easier to dab the throttle without the car suddenly catching grip, but at the end of the day a 2-way seems more reliable for me.
What are your reasons for using them?
Any particular model of R33?
I have a GTR V-spec '97 (premium) that I use for racing, will that suffice?
Sorry, poor wording on my behalf perhaps. I meant will that particular model of car suffice as a base, I will of course retune it for drifting 👍
Cool, I'll get it done as soon as possible 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍

(replay view).
Which Lexus? I will have to check it out and see how she dances 👍👍 Sure did! TY!
I'm not a big fan of the TC version either, but I enjoyed the fact I could keep a steady drift run (for me that is a massive achievement!!
I noticed on this particular DT the top players are using the TC version of the Lexus... I guess it must be a good drift machine (race version). The #1 had an insane camber angle!
I'll try and give it a look when I get a chance 👍Hey @DolHaus do you mind checking my new tune?
Sorry Mr. D...
