help on drifting a Nissan Skyline 350GT sedan?

[BryantFC]

I've been messing with a variety of mixture of different settings from the drift depot and i feel like i keep failing

could anyone help me out? any tips? so far what i have in the vehicle is full cust. suspension, LSD, twin clutch, carbon driveshaft, new ECU, semi-racing exhaust, sport soft for the front and comfort soft for the rear.

there are times in which i can "slide" it but when i reach the exiting of the corner and/or the apex it tends to "understeer" alot and just give out. When that happens, all the power just ends up going to the rear and i spin out.

would greatly appreciate it if someone could help!

i believe my current HP is 351.

Just from your current setup I would change your tires to sports hard, front and back. Also where did you purchase the car? I'll need to take a look at it to try it myself. I'd recommend stage 3 weight reduction if you haven't done so already.
Also the way you have your tire setup will contribute to that understeer your having and also the LSD has that effect as well, try without LSD. I found the soft tires grip too much when there's not enough power, the tires start to grip, hence understeer. Also what's your suspension settings at?

using elanS4's drift settings for his jaguar as a basis due to the similar weight and sizes of the vehicles.

these would be it.

Settings:

Spring rate: 5.6/4.9
Ride height: 0/0
Shock bound: 1/1
Shock rebound: 1/1
Camber angle: 1.0/0.0
Toe angle: 0.0/-1.0
Stabilizers: 1/4

Brake ballance: 3/5

ABS: 1

and i do have weight reduction two on.

It's really hard to say off the top of my head without trying the car, but I'll tell you what my initial settings would be as a first run.
I'd put the spring rate a little harder, try 10 front 9.5 back and see how that feels.
Put your shocks at 2/2 for both or 3/3
For ride height go 5 clicks up from the lowest setting or if you don't have much room to play with try 2-3 clicks up from the lowest
Put your stabilizers 1/1
Put your camber to 2.0/1.0 a little camber will help with a little loss of grip

This would be my initial first setup and then I would tweak from there, so it may work for you, it may not.

It helped a little bit, I had my camber at a much more higher setting earlier (6.0,4.0) and it helped it slide a lot more. Though it does still feel a bit more front heavy. I might go buy those tires later to see if it'll help.

picture doesn't really justify it but you get the point.

Also try setting the camber at the back lower, but leave the front. Camber at the back can cause understeer as well.
