Suspension setup looks a bit off.

Wheel or Controller?

Controller.

Suspension setup looks a bit off.

I have it stiff in the back to encourage oversteer. I have a different setup than most I know but I think if you try it it would be fun even for an experienced pro drifter like yourself

The way you have the suspensions setup would encourage understeer.

okee dokie then.

 

[Stavingo]

Probably best to PM this to n4ke to put into the Drift Depot

 

[Crisp]

have any of you tried this yet??!! It looks odd but it works well! ugh just try it before saying I dont know what Im doing at least jeeze

 

[Turtle]

Does this work well online? I'd really like to give it a try, the 300ZX is a personal favorite of mine.
EDIT: Just realized that I added you a couple hours ago on your CrispWheels account. Sorry I left so quickly. You were drifting quite well BTW. You need to give me your RX-8 tune sometime. 👍

 

[Crisp]

I was drifting this in the same lobby you and I were in, I pulled it out like right after you left

Hey... im also sharing my setup, then you can compare and review. I use DS3 too. Here we go:

Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX TT 2Seater (Z32) '89

580 HP
1260 Kg
560 PP
Class: S A (B) C

Body:
All weight reductions
Rigity Bar
Aero: none
Ballast: position 50 rear, 32 kg (weight distribuition 52/48)

Engine:
All upgrades
Turbo LVL 2 (best scoring in the yellow x green line)
Power Rate : 99,6%

Speed Box:
Fully custom
Max Speed: 280 Km/h

Transmission:
All upgrades
LSD: 10 / 60 / 45

Suspension:
Height: -22F / -20R
Springs: 12,5 / 10,5
Damper: E: 4/5 C: 4/5
Anti Roll: 3/3
Camber: 3,0 / 2,2
Toe: 0,05 / -0,28

Brakes:
8 / 6

Tires:
Confort Hard

Comentary:
- Setup optimized for Online Drifting.
- Easy to handle, even in the 3rd person view. Doesn´t overspin easily.
- Its not a car where you can push to throtle to the edge, must pump gradualy.
- Not too angle friendly, but its stable with smaller angles. Good recover if the angle is huge.
- The grip ratio at the angles is very sensible, so it tends to splash sometimes.
- I didnt found a good toe setting, so the front tires tends to warm up at the middle of the drift. Sometimes its helps, sometimes its a trap.
- E-brake is not necessary. You can live without it in this setup.
- Main techniques used: Power Over, Feint Drift (touching brakes before change direction), Inertial Drift.

 

[Crisp]

Cool i'll have to try this.

 

[Turtle]

I'm going to try them both.

 

[Lazy Liquid]

Yeah, i need advice for my setup, seriously. This one is perfectly driftable but i believe that the Z32 can more, and until now i didnt found the perfect tunning for this car.

If i am correct, higher ride height and stiffer suspension in the rear encourages oversteer ON MOST CARS, as it shifts more weight forward resulting less weight over the rear tires. How that extra weight up front affects the handling varies on some different cars, seeing as stiffer rear suspension on an FF Honda isn't going to cause very much oversteer in Gran Turismo. The way i personally set up my drift cars is with the entire suspension set softer in the rear, and the anti-roll bars set at 1 on both ends. Softer rear suspension makes it easer for me to control initiation, and it also helps the weight of the car shift around over the rear wheels during weight transfer sections of a drift course. The added weight over the rear end also helps the rear tires grip, which helps at all times while drifting.

Keep in mind that everyone's tuning "philosophy" can vary somewhat, and that same 300zx with this "wacky" tune has beaten me in a battle on one occasion, although if you were to ask me about it i would deny it ever happened

I don´t want to drop into the generical "advices", only keep into discussions specificaly pointed to this car only. Also, i don´t believe that only one aspect can evocate a whole effect, because it depends of the whole group of settings, and plus, every setting in every part provoke diferent effects in diferent situations.

Not being rude, but if you want to help, point specificaly something about one of these setups, or even better, come up with your own setup, ill be pleased to buy a second z32 only to test alternative settings.

 

[why_spyder]

I will try these tunes out myself. Good to see more Z tunes.

 

[woah]

I really liked your tune! Took me a few laps to get used to it, but when I first got used to it, it felt really nice I guess I'll also have to admit that I'm not too good at drifting, but I manage it.
