Drift

[Dude29662]

The only two cars that i have found to drift worth a crap in gt are the 400r(i have 618 hp) and a Mine's Evolution V (stock) i can get those in a op. lock drift in gt2 but most of the other cars just spin around once you get them to any drift that is worth a crap.

if i can capture the replay from my emulator(im using ePSXe insted of a real PS) i will post a vid of me drifting my 400r on trial mountain.

btw hello everyone this is my first post on this forum and just wanted to say HELLO!!!

 

[fc3s]

arcade mode is good for drifting

check it out, stock corvette

 

[fc3s]

I can drift like crazy with the corvette

 

[L'Arc~En~Ciel]

rwd seems impossible to drift... or maybe its coz i use an emulator to play gt2... so i use keyboard to play.... i can drift all the gtr's... the 400r and the r34 r probably best for that.... and i can drift the evo6... hmm i can also drift the mines gtr's... rwd jus tend to spin out on me... or i onli can do shallow angled drifts with rwd.... ff is quite easy to drift... or as most ppl wud call it ass dragging haha.... u can get big angles with a ff and get out of sticky situations easy.... but u hafta go into the turn very fast if u want to get out of the turn... personally i like seattle short course for drifting... theres a great hairpin and a nice S curve to link up and its not all about pure power.... well thats my 5 cents for the day

I drifted one of the license tests in the yellow supra. It was basically a 90º left followed by a 90º right. Looked sweet in the replay. I also did it with (if i remember right) a green altezza and it was a long sweeping turn.

Drifting and still passing a license test is fun. I miss the license test specific courses that were in GT1 and GT2 that were taken away for GT3.

[Lancer Drifter]

I only drift with a Mine's Lancer, a Shelby Series 1 and a Sileighty.
Drift with Mine's Lancer is easy to control (with my settings) I can drift like the guy in Drift grandimo (in this site https://www.gtplanet.net/article25.html) in my Mine's Lancer. With Shelby Series 1, easy start the drift but control during the drift is more harder, with long distance, I spin, but I am new at fr cars in drift.
A sileighty is easy to drift too (with my settings), but I start the drift, and then spin (long distance).I have to see my settings with FR cars.

I do this in Gran Turismo 2

👍 Thats a good one!

*cough*Look!*cough*

-sorry about the quality.
I drifted my 300ZX GT on Super Softs....

 

[Lancer Drifter]

I agree with Darin, he is right. It is possible drift with a RWD. With my Sileighty, I can drift and it isn't that hard, and with my Shelby isn't that hard.

In drift, the most important factor is the "finger" or "hands", what I want to explain is "control on the car", it is the most factor in drift, another factor, is the technique you use, try different techniques, see this site, he have some techniques http://www.geocities.com/go2initiald/main.html
(go to drift techniques). For an example, some times in the begin I use this technique "dirt drop technique", but I will give you a advice, try braking drift, it is more easy.

Another factor is, settings on the car, and what it is the car, I prefer awd for drift, a good car for braking drift, (or another technique) is the Mine's Lancer,
put ride height at more down as possible, spring ratio equal (9/9), stabilizers high as possible, the brakes at (12/24), and adjust the gears how do you like ( I think in auto-adjust between 7 and 11 is good for drift), and a very important think "Tires", for a long drift and short drift a sport tires is the best, for high grip in drift and speed, soft tires, you can drift, but short and medium drift distance (sim tires is good for drift too, but you need modify the time braking, more soon, the speed at curve is more low, but with this tires you can drift longer). UUUUUFFFFFF, this wiil be very long!!! I don't care!!!

Try drift in Midfield Racing (or something like that) and Apricot Hill!!!

This in a awd car.
For a RWD, MR and FWD car, is the same settings, but in spring ratio put (10/8), this will make the car let you drift (in FWD you should start your drift with E-brake press). For drift with RWD car, try a Sileighty with all tunes, (and put this settings too), for MR car try NSX and for FWD try Acura Integra Type-R 98 (USA)!!!

With this settings I think you will drift well, don't give up at first try , with time, you will drift!!!.

I already can do almost things in gran turismo 2 what some guys can do in gran turismo 3 (download a video in this site https://www.gtplanet.net/article25.html)
it is hard, but isn't that hard, I only needed time and settings (like the above) is the same settings I use to do this!! Try hard!!!

 

[Delphic Reason]

I implore any one who read the above post, to disregard it. First off, the basic settings for a FR drift car are simple:
Spring rate: softer in the front, stiffer in the back
Camber: more angle in the front, less angle in the back (causes the car to oversteer)
Install an LSD
Everything else is subjective

Now about tires:
The tires only need to be matched with the HP of the car, simple as that. Low HP (stock-300hp) should use sim tires. Medium HP (between 350hp and 600hp) should use normals, sports, or super to medium slick racing tires). High HP (900hp-1000hp) Should use softs or super softs. All these numbers are rough guidelines, they vary some, from car to car.

If anyone has any other questions please ask. This way we don't have backwards info being spred around.

 

[Dude29662]

yeah, now i have somewhat of an idea to do to keep my 1071 hp skyline from spinning out, now all i need is enough money to but some really expensive tires

 

[Lancer Drifter]

I agree with some things and I don't agree with others.

I agree in the factor of Tires, you are right. The LSD is very important too. I forget refer that!

I don't agree with spring ratio, with this adjust, will (to me) be more hard to long drift, and the start with short drift will be more hard because I tried that with my Sileighty and is more hard with that settings, control during the drift is more hard, with my settings you will brake at start, this will cause oversteering, and then control with gas and steering. With settings of silviadrifter, you won't drift very long, with my settings, you can drift very long. It is a question of like, or don't like, or have "hands", or don't have "hands". I prefer my settings!!! Do as you like!!!
For me, brakes are very important for drift, I start with him, is more easy to drift, to drift with him, brake,, then turn, and gas, this will make car drift.
Stabilizers is important too, the car will be with more control, it sometimes makes the difference between do the turn, or don't.

If you want disregard this, disregard. But you should try or thing about this settings, because I see the only video of drift in this site (In Gran turismo 2) but I don't search for more, and it wasn't that incredible, with my settings I can drift like the guys in Gran turismo 3 at drift, I only needed time, settings, practice and a good car, the "hands" I already have them. Now I am good at FR and AWD cars in drift, with my own settings.

The settings I gave are for real life drifting, and thus they transfer to GT3, and GT2 drifting perfectly. You alway want the front springs softer in the rear, stiffer in the front. Ask any real drifter, and they will tell you the same. Also, if you need proof that I can drift, download the vids in my sig (First Drift, Slide). Also, stabilizers are only usefull if you are speed drifting. If you are exhibition drifting they are redundant. Stabilizers are to decrease body roll, and keep the car straight. These things are counterproductive for exhibition drifting. Lancer, you can do what you like, but I can promise you that these are better settings for drifting. The little change in settings that I posted are not subjective. There are many things that are subjective, but what I posted is the basics needed to make the car drift properlly, anything you do after that is subjective (fine tuning, brake balance, etc....). So before anyone else disagrees, check out my vids, and try these settings. If anyone is having problems with any cars, or settings, just pm me, and I will do everything I can to help.

 

[Lancer Drifter]

Silviadrifter, you are a good guy. First of all, I don't use drift to exhibition, I use drift for races, during a race, then my style is speed drift, and with speed drift I do long drift, in some curves drift is more fast then grip, I use drift when it is more fast then grip. You should try drift in races!!!

If anyone read my post, my style it isn't Drift with FR cars, but drift with AWD at Full throttle, I use the brakes for start the drift, then I use the horse power at full throttle to continue the drift, a simple technique, with minimum counter-steering (it is a little hard), definitly, my style is AWD cars.

I am "new" at drift with FR cars, I don't like it very much, when I try my settings, it seems correct, but it is rare I drift with a FR car, I have tried your settings before, and to me, it isn't hard, during the drift, is almost the same, but, to me, it is more hard to start the drift, but in your settings it is more hard a FR car spin, in my is more easy to spin, but with my settings I can let the rear skid more with gas and steering easly, in your settings is little harder, but is possible too, and there is a prove in your first video, but your first video was did in gran turismo 3, and in him is more easy to slide, and I use the GRAN TURISMO 2, which is more hard to drift, but the both settings are right, the both are correct, it is a question of like or don't like. My settings result in Gran turismo 2 and 3 ( I think, i've never tried in Gran turismo 3), your settings result in gran turismo 2 and 3, the both are right.

You are right about stabilizers, for me (speed drift) are important, for you isn't that important.

In Gran turismo 2, the cars is more paste with the road, in Gran turismo 3, the cars skids more, but what I see, I can drift like you at the same course , you are very good at drift, .

The result of settings (of my and yours) is the same, now is a question of "hands" and "practice". I am happy with this end!!!

Im gonna make this a smart post.

If you can't drift a rear-wheel drive car, you can't drift at all.

First off, this is Silviadrifter. I am over at Xzyorras' house. Anyway, I am in full agreement with Darin. Also, Lancer, I don't doubt your settings work, to some extent, but for FR they are just wrong. I use real life drift settings, so I know they are what is best to use for drifting. The settings I gave are a base to tune the car from, so you can better understand the handling characteristics of each individual car. From there, you make small adjustments till it's just right. Furthermore, Anyone who wants to learn how to setup a car for drifting, research their real life counterpart, and you will find what you need.

 

[Lancer Drifter]

Silviadrifter, I don't knew any settings for real drift, thanks about you send me some , stiffer springs at rear make the car more steady, which is good. I actually see, which softer springs at rear are more good for FF cars at drift.I had participate at some races with that settings (stiffer springs in front and softer springs in rear) and he drift well (FF cars). I had participate with Sileighty (my drift's car) at some races, and the car let the rear skid to much, at that time I think "I need a stiffer springs at rear, I need to modify my settings", I think I need your settings to drift, I know the reactions of the car with that settings, and for speed drift is better, it will be more steady. You are right at the beginning. That is the rules of reality.

It's only hard to control for you, because you are not used to it. You can have stiff springs in the rear, just as long as the front springs are more stiff. I implore you, to get used to it, because if you do, you will be able to control the car with better precision, and get more angle and hold it. Using your current settings you will eventually hit the preverbial wall. You will only be able to progress as a drifter, if you understand what is needed to make a car drift (parts, settings, technique). You can do what you like, I'm just trying to help you become a better drifter, that's all. If you need any help with settings, or anything else drift related, just PM me, and I will help you all I can.

do these setting work for 4wd vehicles? i want to drift my 1071hp r34 V-Spec II and all i do is spin right now. do i need to put a smaller turbo on? i am using sports tires because i am poor in the game

You don't need that much power IMO, and no these are not AWD settings. If you want good R34 settings, try these.

Pergatorys' drift shrine

 

[Lancer Drifter]

Silviadrifter, I am using your settings at my Sileighty, the car now is more steady.
I did a error in my last post because, you aren't at the beginning silviadrifter, the prove of this is in your videos, you can drift very well, I am at the beginning at drift in FR cars, I could be better at FR cars, but I don't drift very often at FR cars, I drift very often with my Mine's Lancer and now I am trying others.

Thank you by your settings for FR cars.

Now about you Dude29662, for me, that R34, has to much power for drift, the prove of that, is your spins. If I was in your place, I would want a car with less horse power, I use my Mine's Lancer with 518 hp, and I drift very well, which is AWD. All you need is a car with less power, and settings for R34, I don't know a good settings for R34 at drift, but it shouldn't be very different of my Lancer.

Search in Faqs, see in differents faqs, and see which is better combination settings for your car.
