S15 Drift Tuning Help!

[rjlee]

Hi, I'm a newbie to drifting so I don't know anything about it.
I heard the S15 is a good drifting car. I have the '99 version not the '02 version if that makes any difference. I have a DFGT. Can you please tell me what things I need to buy, and what I should tune them to?

Thanks, rjlee

Tune it to however much power you like. I like to consider myself an experienced drifter, especially with the s15, and i've got mine topped out at 470hp, but it hasn't always been that high.
buy;
limited slip, full suspension, clutch/flywheel are optional, and tires of choice. I'd recommend starting out on comfort hards but thats preference. tune the suspension so that its lower in the back, softer in the back, stiffer and higher up front, with more camber in the front to dull down the steering response to make it easier to start. I wouldn't recommend using a whole lot of camber/toe in the rear, but you can use some camber and a little bit of toe out up front if you want, but you will have to mess with the settings a little bit to figure out what works for you.

Hopefully you will be on your way to having a good consistent drift car.

I got a s13 tune which I have been told can be applied to later versions which you can try, but I may do a s14/15 tune in near future. click drift sig to check it

The s13 slides much much differently compared to the s15. The s13 and the s14 are pretty similar, though.

Sorry to disagree, but the S14 and the S13, even with similarities on the chassis, are completly diferent cars in weight distribuition, engine response, grip ratio, stability, etc, etc...

Even each model of s13 (Q, K, Dia selection...) and the S14 (Q, K, 200sx, 240sx) do have diferent feelings.

Also if rise's suspension doesnt work as well for you stiffen up the back and dampers to 6 and 5 in the front. Then comfort hards and swaybars front and Rear set to 7 and the car will always be able to kick out the back end even with lower hp.
