Nissan 240SX Fastback Type X
I really love that car!

and the
1800cc nissan thing I love that the most!

for a first car try Sheron's settings for the Silvia S13 2000CC

 

[bengee]

i would read the read this threads at the top of the drifters forum... they should help tremendously

 

[exhaust_note]

get a silvia k's 1800cc and swap a sr20 into it, its my favorite car

thanks

Turn off ASM and set TCS to 1 or 0.
Set your brake controller to be tighter in the rear.
I personally like 9 fronts and 24 rear for high HP cars like 600 HP or more. For lower HPs I use 5 fronts and 24 rear.

 

[LanEvo]

you dont need a brake controller to drift. i never use them. always set TCS AND ASM to 0.

 

[bengee]

HOLY crap that is a very large diff in front and back breaks... too easy to understeer that way with braking drifts... i mean my goodness... you prolly have to break way in advance...

 

[BreakerOhio]

Yea, the brake controller is not necessary...it might make things more difficult when you're still learning. The idea behind it is it will help swing the rear out more easily when you brake. Then you can take sharper corners without using the ebrake.

 

[bengee]

That same effect can be achieved with even brakes as long as the suspension is tuned and the gears are tuned as well... chamer will give hte same effect as long as the front is higher than the rear and both are between 0 and 3... a slight negative toe in the front and a larger negative toe in the rear give another way to produce oversteer... which is good for drifting ( i usually reserve this for 4wd cars) i never have unbalanced brakes unless i am drifting a car that has horribly understeer like the ctr which needs all the help it can get to oversteer... Also if you stiffen the shocks to 6 for light cars and 7-8 for heavier ones reactions will be more imediate and oversteer will come easier... lowering nad stiffening sways makes the cars reactions more immediate... sways can effect body movement in a way you dont want tho... i never exceed three...

 

[scarredgoth21]

is there any settings you guys have that might make it alot easier for me to be able to learn how to drift with the mugen S2000 (or any other S2000) and the BMW 328ci




hehehe I know it sounds like I'm a honda S2000 nut it's because I got to ride in one this past weekend and it was the funnest car I have ever rode in so far (the car belongs to my gf's dad) and the BMW I actually don't know why I want to learn how to drift with that thing

 

[bengee]

This is what i would suggest for fr or mr vehicles

-Leave the suspension spring rates alone... or if you must fool around leave them proportiona.
-lower the car halfway to the ground
-shocks to 6 for light cars to 7 for most cars (rebound and bound)
-chamer larger in front than rear never more than 3 (i use 1 and .5 usually)
-toe can be set to 0 for fr and mr withour consequence
for lighter cars i use sways at 2 for most cars i use 3's

Chamber setting are what will give you oversteer... the bigger the difference the more oversteer you will have...

-brakes i set to even values back nad front so i can brake from high speeds to low speed corners at hte 50 m mark lol

sims

asm 0
tcs anywhere between 0 and 3 depending on the power i have in my car

with sims i never exceed more than 350
with super slicks i drift all hp

For 4wd cars the only change i make most of hte time is i lighten stage 1 or 2 for lighter cars and all the way for heavy cars like the skyline or vr4... and i have a toe setting of -.5 for front and between -1 and -2 for rear... this gives added understeer and counteracts 4wd natural ability to understeer charply after oversteer... also you need not countersteer as much with 4wd...

it sounds to me that your gears might be a bit wide... make sure that you have a close enough ratio so that when you shift in mid corner if needed you will still be in the higher revs...

if you think you will spin out if you just feather the gas once more but you are loosing speed and therefore the drift feather the gas and countersteer in mr/fr cars...

no need for weight reduction unless the car is really heavy... i like my cars around 1000-1200 kg or lower...

turbo/na/supercharged are all fine as gt3 has no turbo lag...

lsd is a dangerous thing to fool around with... and is more for grip racing than drifting anyways...
hope this helps

i use some variation of this for an unlightened bmw... it makes an excellent drift car on slicks or sims so you get your pick... smae goes this the s2000 (that was my first drift car)... i am not tuning expert... these settings work for me... there may be better ones inthe drift setting depot...

By no means should this ever be used as magical drift settings... they are used to send you on the right track
