Clanegie, I understand how much effort you're putting into this and it's pretty apparent that you're improving. However, we can't tell you a thing from a still picture. sorry, that's just how it is.
I believe you said you couldn't record video from your PS2. Maybe you can send your save file to someone that could or use a video camera on your TV(borrow one if you have to
). This would give us something substantial to help you with your technique.

I totally agree with your comments Swift. I can't expected much from you guys. From your understanding, do you think that i record my drift with my Nokia N80 will be good? I tried and the video is dark and blur.Clanegie, I understand how much effort you're putting into this and it's pretty apparent that you're improving.

You said that i can send other people a saved file. Is that possible to transfer data from the memory card to PC?? I never thought that will work.
Just a short question today. When i exiting a drift, i often release my throttle to about half to avoid spinning out. However in most videos i've seen here, your pro guys exit with full throttle. How is this possble? I will normally result spinning out if i hit full throttle.

No Problem Texan.. I will try search for it in the forum. I have a USB drive, Sandisk Cruzer Micro 1 GB, it can save pictures, but don't think can save video files. it would be good if i can save them on the drive!!! the video would be of much much higher quality! Will try my best to all brothers here.yes, i forget the name of it, but its like a USB stick that works with the ps2, and you can save game file onto it.
try it with your phone and show us.
The unselfishness of all brothers here makes my life!

Thats it! Thats the one if I remember right.

That would be either a Max drive or a Sharkport. The Max drive is probably the better, and can can be purchased on many online stores, for example, eBay. I believe they are also sold in most game stores aswell (I can't say for sure because they're quite rare in Melbourne). Hope that helps.

Possibly that he doesn't have one or that it is too expensive.There is alot of reasons why he doesn't get one.

Im sure theres some variant of best buy, like how RS in the U.S. is 'the source' in canada.

I read on one of the FAQ's here that you could, thats how I found it. I clamp my web cam to something sturdy for recordings.

Thanks to both your help on the video issue. I have an Nokia N80, but nokia's camera sucks even it says to have a 3Mega Pixel Camera. Its too dark and blur when taking indoor video or photos.
About the max drive thing, is the saved video file able to be viewed on PC? Or is there a convertor for the video? Like what nightkids has said, it worrys me that the max drive will not be able to solve my issue.

I read on here that it could, Ill find that thread tomarrow for ya. Thats how I found it in the 1st place. Though I dont remember if it was in a FAQ, or a statement some one made. You can just goto... what ever the equivalent to an everyday electronics store is in singapore and pick up a cheep logitech web camera, their great.
Ill record a few drift laps tomarrow, since you and I have been at this for about the same time, Kinda helps to compare and such. But I love this MR2 Supercharger.

You read wrong.
A maxdrive can transfer the GT4 replay save file to PC, but there is no way of viewing it on the computer in that format. Essentially, all the file is, is a chronological list of your control inputs for the car and track you were at. No video is actually saved - that's why the files occupy so little room on the PS2 memory card.
The only way an AR MAX will help you is if you know someone else that has one that is willing to capture your video for you. You will have to provide them your replay file, they will have to load it to their memory card and play it in GT4.

You are right BL. I have done some research here and found out that what you had stated are true. I guess there are only two available options to capture replays in PS2, either by a video camera filming at your tv screen or using a video card to connect from your PC to PS2. I will try to seek out all means to get some videos posted so you guys can help and advise on my drifts.
Thanks Texan for your help.

Help needed!!!!
Brothers, i realise one big problem on my drifts. I usually enter a corner at a acceptable speed, where i will let go my throttle and feint, when car loses traction, i brake and counter steer. One big problem comes in here... After braking, i will apply throttle to maintain the drift until near exit. But it seems the throttle i applied does not help, and eventually the cars will just loses speed until about 20km/h and then spins out in oversteer momentum.
I feel that the tires has lost too much traction, therefore the rear does not connects to the road surface(I driving a FR Madza FC). This problem only exist whenever i use alot of braking to reduce speed(Full brake for 1 second).
Other cases where i applied brake for only 0.1 or 0.2 seconds, the cars does not turn out this way. Drifts is normally smooth in these cases.

Usualy I brake to the appropriate speed that I woulld normaly take it, sometimes faster for long corners, and then feint, no brakes for me. try not getting too much angle. Use less counter steer if possible so the car will begin to push it to the center of the corner.

Do you mean that you will brake to appropriate speed before feint? And when the car starts to drifts, you does not requires braking to maintain it?
Yes, i agree with the counter steer part you had stated. I normally would counter steer minimum, until reaching the exit which i will counter steer more.
I have to try on your way of drifting, as it differs from mine. I feel that if i were to brake before entry, i will lose alot of momentum to initiate the drift. Will have to try it out tonight.

Like I said, I brake to a speed a lil higher than I would grip drive it. So that I dont brake during the dift, killin wheel spin.
Im using the MR2 SC editionm its MR. So feint is extremly effective. And I use the entry speed to carry around the corner. But not so much that the car goes straight into the dirt. Ill try buying that car and playin around with it tomarrow. Post your settings so Ive got it the same.
Ill upload the video I think I recorded tomarrow. Ive been busy this week prep'n for finals.

Firstly, good luck for your finals!
I will post the link to my FC's settings tonight. Not quite sure whether i used apex's or nightkids' settings posted in the depot.
Will try out your car too. Remember to post your settings when you post the video. I want to try out your car!
