I have managed to get my Skyline drifting quite well now and just wandering if there are any tips for setting up the Suspension & Transmission/Drivetrain?

I can initiate the drifts but can't maintain power through to keep it going.

I have been drifting it from stock, now has everything on it except stage 2 and 3 Engine Tuning.

Any tips?

use the torque converter, and change it to 10 in the front and 90 in the rear, so rear wheels get the most power
 
I know this isn't really helpful, but the fact it is AWD doesn't help. You need 100% RWD, even with the torque controller it still sends 10% of the torque to the front which is enough to pull you out of slides. Drifting is RWD only, end of :)

If you want to drift a skyline, you either have to have the blitz car, or the R32 GTS-T.
 
Have done so, found that 20-80 was more controlable, what are the best settings for supsension?

try adding some camber in the back...also, are you running stage 3 turbo? you might be better off backing the turbo down to stage 1, but doing stage 2 and 3 engine... that should give you more throttle on response and less lag.

Always put about 2.0 camber on the front, 0 or 0.5 on the back ;)
 
honestly, I drift this car with a pretty stock suspension setup (just lowered) full mods, sports hards, tranny set at 168. didnt touch the differential or anything. It drifts like a beast....no joke
 
Yea.. I've found that 2.0-3.0 up front works for me... with 1.0-1.5 in the back... it really depends on the car's weight and power though.

Got it running with 2.5 up front and 0.5 on the rear, seems to be working alot better now. Have also got these settings I found in a different thread:

Spring rate - F= 12.4 R= 8.1
Anti roll - F= 4 R = 6

Seems to be helping, the only problem I am suffering with now is what I call the 'Kick Back' from when I end a drift and it kicks back the opposite direction, any way to sort this out?

That kick back results from loss of wheelspin, when it suddenly hooks up. I'm not sure how to fix it on your car, because I have a feeling that the awd is playing a role here... maybe tighten up the gearing with close ratio tranny or racing transmission... also, lower the car as much as possible.
 
is that so?

Ken Block SEMA 2010

watch this video and tell "him" that. i saw him at SEMA this year, its completely amazing


lol, say that to real drifters!

I haven't even clicked the link as soon as I read Ken Block.

Real drift = RWD thats all.

D1 = RWD
FD = RWD

The only legit AWD drifting is WRC (and Pikes peak race) which Ken Block don't participate in.
 
wow, feeling judgmental much Warren?

the point is that you can make an AWD car that will drift spectacularly, and unless GT5 suddenly became a professional drifting event and the original post changed, he asked for advice on how to set up a skyline as best he could. so how about helping him?

If that is drifting then this is drifting. And it isn't, it's rallying.

Even Wikipedia disagrees with you:

"Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally over steers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed. A car is drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle prior to the corner apex, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa)"
 
hmm I dont know if I agree, there is a lot of drifting in that video, its not around a course, but its still the act of drifting, just not timed or pace maintained. Its basically a drifting exhibition.

"Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally over steers" sounds like almost exactly what was going on in that video.

anyway i dont want to argue im pretty new to drifting and dont want to be a jerk.

totally wish i could drive like that IRL though :D

I don't want to spoil the fun.... but Ken Block does compete in WRC.

Can you drift an awd car? sure? is it still drifting? sure it is... is it easier or harder? that's neither here nor there... its still drifting.
 
im surprised that no one has really brought up FF drifting, before everyone says thats not drifting either, there are professional drifting teams that use FF cars. they just never win anything.

FF drifting

I do love the fact that I have started a full on debate without meaning too, I know that everyone expects drifting to be RWD, yes the competitions usually restrict it to RWD, but if you can drift a FF, then good on you. In the end its all drifting and I have to admit I do love Ken Blocks AWD Handbrake turns, theres just something magical about them.

Cheers for the advice, got the Skyline drifting well now, going to get some practice on my Race Modded Silvia now.. should be fun 💡

Not as an own sports, its a technique used!

Drifting as an own sport is RWD only!

For D1 its 2WD only, FWD cars are allowed aswell as RWD (well, for D1SL at least)

Which you rarely going even on the best 32 coz its just not competitive compared to RWD (and less entertaining to see).


As for Ken Block being a WRC driver, I didn't knew, I'm only interested by the ones who actually win more and make less viral videos!

and

>MFW Ken Block is a WRC driver

Yes but also AWD but they have to have a converter put in place. basically for the sport if you are running a AWD in GT5 you have to have the torque distributor set to 10-90 otherwise yes its not truly following the sport of drifting. those FWD cars are also converted to RWD but they are not strict on it because you would be pretty stupid to try be competitive in a FWD car in D1GP and D1SL.

There is no drift set up for the skyline because its AWD. They don't drift they slide ungracefully
 
Eh, I think people who whine and complain about AWD car is not consider drifting needs to relax eh. This is a game, you suppose to have fun with it. Not having debate in a forum about who is better, what car is better, or who has more skill, this and that. Where is the fun in that when you can just spend the time and enjoy the game.

As for that wikipedia definition of drifting, it never mentioned what kind of drivetrain MUST be used to consider drifting.

"Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally over steers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed. A car is drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle prior to the corner apex, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa), and the driver is controlling these factors."

Reread again...drifting is a driving technique. It's not depend on the car you use. People need to learn how to read and interpret a sentence properly before laying down some senseless argument.

another quote from wiki

"Usually, drift cars are light to moderate weight rear-wheel-drive coupes and sedans over a large range of power levels."

Should I have to emphasis that in that sentence it said "usually", not "must be". Hence for those who kept arguing that AWD is not consider a drift or drift = RWD, you can dismiss your argument.

And last but not least, the guy is asking for help in his thread, not ask you to debate about the drivetrain of a drift car.

Anyway, I have no idea how to set up an AWD car for drifting nor am I an expert drifter in GT5. Just I see a lot posts on GTP people arguing about AWD is not drift and blah blah...but yet none actually given a proper proof stated that drifting MUST be a RWD car. So word of advice, relax and enjoy the game, everyone will be happy.
 
awd drifting is only acceptable when you can drift the same lines as rwd



I really like that you said that by posting this awesome video. i also sometimes drift my skyline gtr's r32 and r34 with an almost rwd setup and rwd driftlines.
 
Wow!! I never tryed to drift an AWD, but this video makes me wanna give it a goo!! Awsome drifting!! Setup please!? OR atleast LSD setup
