Finally got webspace! (videos inside)

[Sharkey]

Pergatory, I just watched that first video (Laguna Seca) and I have to say it's SUPER COOL. I've never tried drifting even tho I've played GT a lot since the first one was released.
You seem to be a real drifting expert. Is the technique hard to learn ? I mean does it take months of practice ?

Cheers !

 

[pergatory]

Thanks a bunch guys! I'm flattered but I think that once GT3 drifting gets more exposure and becomes more refined I think it will become more apparent that there are lots of people out there with a lot more skill than myself.

Anyway, the technique is easy for some, hard for others. I can't speak for others' experience but personally I found it to be almost second nature, it just took some time to be able to predict what the car was going to do that's all. I've been drifting in GT3 for about 9 months or so, but I've been drifting in real life for over a year and the two are very similar so I really think that experience helped. Also, tuning my own car helped a lot too because in order to make a car handle better you have to figure out how the car behaves and how to change certain behaviors, which helps you figure out a lot about how to drift. Any drifters who haven't tried tuning their own car to perfection, I recommend choosing one and spending a few hours here, a few hours there tuning it, and just keep refining it for months. As the car gets better, so will you, I garauntee.

Hey pergatory, since you said you're getting rid of your AE86, my friend in Florida is looking for another one. If you're planning on selling it, I can PM you his e-mail address. I saw the pictures on your site. There are a few good looking AE86's out there. The red Trueno with the over fenders looks great, but I'm not into that look. How come no panda ones? And no Levins?

hey pergatory..maybe i can help with your website and what not? im fairly well when it comes to graphics w/ photoshop and what not. Its summer and i need something to do rather than just chat to people. If you want, just PM me heh.

 

[TingBoy]

i can edit vids... =P

 

[pergatory]

Thanks =) But I've been doing graphics (2d and 3d) for longer than I've been doing web design. Actually I initially starting doing web design about 8 years ago so that I could build a webpage to show off my graphics. Ironic, that now I'm doing web design and not even showing off my graphics. I'll work on that =) But not on the GT3 page, I'm a minimalist when it comes to graphics on webpages unless they were made for that purpose.

Diety, it will be at least a year before I get rid of the 86 but if he's still interested, I'd be glad to keep his name around for when I do sell it. I don't know why there aren't more pandas out there, and as for the Levins most people don't bother to convert (only Trueno was sold in the states). It's really hard to find a Levin front clip, and expensive to import it, so only the real die-hard Levin fans do it. I agree about the fender flares, by the way. It's very rare that I see fender flares I like. His weren't too bad though.

yer perg man i drift with a r32 in real life has about 480 hp and im happy coz i can drift so easy in wet and dry its sick.

im gettin a capture card soon then ill be able to show ya ma gt3 drifts and u'll be surprised kk.

 

[Deity of Drift]

Hey denZo.2nd.gen, where do you have a BNR32? What mods do you have done to it? Is it GTS-M or GT-R?

-Tom

 

[Deity of Drift]

I don't think an 18 year old could handle that much power... just my opinion.

-Tom

 

[pergatory]

Nice! I envy you. Is it a GTS-t? Original block? What've you done to it? Skyline is a little big for my taste, but that doesn't mean I don't want one. If I won the lottery tomorrow the first thing I'd buy is an R33 GT-R. *druel* You see lots of R32's and R34's but rarely any decent R33's.

I agree, and if he can, then he hasn't been broken in properly and probably lacks understanding.

 

[Deity of Drift]

True... I was told by my dad to start out with lower powered cars first. With all the money I've put into my AE86, I could've gotten a nice BNCR33. But if I sold my car, my dad would kill me, and if he didn't, I would end up killing myself for doing something that stupid. My friend in Florida started out with a Camaro. The LT1 is high in horsepower, and he ended up wrapping himself around a tree. So my dad bought him a nice but cheap Corolla GT-S, and I shipped a 20V 4A-GE for him. Now that he learned power isn't everything, he has improved. But Florida is all flat, so he can't do any touge battles. He wants another AE86 because he has a coupe, and he doesn't like it compared to the hatch-back. He isn't in a hurry, so if you want, I can give you his e-mail address.

[pergatory]

Sure, go ahead and PM me the e-mail. Are you sure he'd be interested in one with body damage? The front can be repaired for about $500 USD but the rear will be a little more difficult because I had to do some cutting just to get it looking decent again. Auto body shop considered it "totalled."

 

[md0125]

maybe you could get your er32 settings up on the site. sorry for rushing you

 

[pergatory]

Done =)
It was next on the list anyway actually, but I decided to tune it up a little better before releasing it. The settings were nice on Simulation tires but the car just didn't have that Skyline personality, so I put it on Sports tires now and it's a blast.

If you guys really want the simulation settings too I will post them here but I think I'm going to keep these ones on the website because I prefer them quite a bit.

Just updated R32 GTS-t settings. I found that it didn't break loose easy enough, and didn't settle in easy enough once it was sideways. I think I made some improvements, but will probably update it several more times.

*added 8/5/03

Updated the settings again, and this time it's real stuff. Any Nomuken fans out there have got to take a ride in this thing! It's built for low-speed corners, like Nomura's ride, so don't be tryin' Route 246 or anything like that. The courses I tuned it on are Cote d'Azur, Deep Forest, Special Stage Route 11, and Trial Mountain II.
