sim tires, engine damage, drift characteristics

[x08]

Just got my new slim PS2 this morning. I didn't get that far with GT4. It's a b!t©H trying to earn some $$$. I didn't get a chance to by a drift car yet. But I've been trying to drift with a stock cars while turning off all the TCS in them. Man am I loosing it? Drifting in this version is b!t©H, especially with the DFP. Well I used to think that drifting in GT3 was impossible, but I manage to master it. Maybe it'll be the same with this version. Another sad news, as I was deleting some files of the memory card, I accidently deleted my GT3 data file.

cash is easy...

get a fast Japanese car (i use my FC) and tune it to the max... then go to japanese races and play the first one... keep the car the first time (to use in the GT race) and then race the CHAMPIONSHIP over and over again... 5 races, $7,500 each (aka $750,000) +35,000 bonus + a car that can be sold for over 300,000.. that's $372,500 + a little.. for just 5 races

Now THAT was REALLY funny

I recommend everyone find and watch this issue of best motoring with Keiichi Tsuchiya.....

Yea I totally agree, try to download it, I think its very useful.

 

[dreams]

Thanks for the Japan site Link

Gonna try the settings out!

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Even with the wheel off or unplugged its to hard to turn fast enough.

I know that, but that's not what I meant. I meant actually removing a part of the mechanism so that the gearing isn't connected anymore to the wheel.

I took your advice and tried the first Championship. It was an easy way to get money, good tip. I went from broke to having more money than I needed + a LM car in only five races. However the strange part was you suggested to get a fast Japanese car and tune it to the max. The competition isn't that tough. I used a fast Japanese car (WRX STi Spec C '04) and did no tuning (just oil change) and had no trouble, actually the WRX was too powerful. I drove badly, running off the track a few times, and still managed to win the series. Each race was worth 119 A-Spec points.

 

[Adam West]

I don't know if it's the case in GT4 but in GT3 you couldn't counter steer under simulation setting.

 

[dreams]

That is a healthy good A-spec points.

I sold off more than 5 350Z LM already

drift vid?

Hi drift fans...

After spending hours for settings (drift settings) on GT4. me and my friend was really tired. The first car we try to buy was Taniguchi's S15 (HKS/Genki Silvia). Then we set ATM and TCS to 0. And set the suspension's. But even then it wasnt that easy to drift. After you try to counterstear the car comes back like a flash... So we need to practice more... If someone can tell me good drift settings on GT4 (maybe for the Taniguchi car). Would be cool... 👍

P.S: Sorry i know my english sucks...

First off, your english doesn't suck. 👍 and reading about how your car comes back
in a flash makes me wonder about a few things.
1) you are using sim tires right? I know that many ppl used all sorts of different tires
in GT3, but if you're having problems with the counter steer being too strong you'll
obviously have to use sim tires or super slick.
2) what kind of drifts are you trying? I'm wondering if maybe certain types of drift
are more difficult with the extra sensative controls in GT4 (or at least the controls look that
way from the vids and descriptions I've heard). Mix it up a bit and see if feints and
weight transfers work better if you're trying e-brake drifts and vica versa.
3)Are you using the d-pad or the joysticks (I'm guessing that learning to drift on the dfp
will take a bit to learn on) and what did you use in GT3. I've been using the joysticks
for steering and gas/brake (<-gas/->brake on the right joystick) for a while so I can
give pretty delicate input with them, but if you're used to the d-pad then you might
have to switch to the joysticks.

One off topic question for anyone who's used play-asia: after you first setup an account
could you immediately log back into it or did it take a bit of time for it to process that
your e-mail/password were in their system. After ordering from them I can't log back
in, but I'm wondering if that's just because I did it on a non-business day (yesterday).
I'll just contact them if it still doesn't work tomorrow since it'll be monday there, but it'd
be a relief to hear that I'm not the only person this has happened for.

O my! thats real god well its drifting though, but I want it to be slower like in the D1 GP irl, but maybe it will be slower when its tighter corners

that's what I'm talkin 'bout! looks like drifting really is everything I was hoping they'd
make it, granted I'll not be able to do anything like that for a long time to come. Looks
like they decided to make the handling in general designed for the dfp (which it seems
like that guys using) by making it really sensitive. I like the fact that he's not even
going to full lock to make most those drifts. Now I really can't wait to start playing...
I would practice on GT3 a bit more to prepare, but I'm guessing I'll have to relearn
everything I know anyways...

 

[BAZZ]

That didnt really calm my hype for GT4... No.
I want.....

 

[Ryosuke_Gumna]

Wow, nice video, but why won't he drift with 900 degree? It would be better...
AHHH! Why is it Simulation Tire?

 

[Tenuous_Balance]

why won't he drift with 900 degree?

Does anyone know if it would've show'd up differently had he drifted in 900 degree
mode because in GT3 it looks the same no matter what, it's just that 90 degree left
and right on the screen equals full lock left and right.

I tried some more drifting this morning. It's getting easier to manage. I found out that the car seem to slide more smoother if you don't go to fast on the corner. The car I'm using is 270 nismo that I won. I had to use the power over techniques on most tights hair pins or let off on the gas if I'm doing the altimate drifting technique. I'm using the DS2 to drift with, it's harder to drift with the wheel. Once I get to be better at the DS2 I'mma transfer my skill to the wheel. I'll post some clips tomorrow.

 

[_3000GT]

so...

Hard to explain but i think i was trying few technic's for drifting... like one short oversteering and then counter steering. Then just by hiting the gas in the right gear. pulling the ebrake all those things.

Maybe you guys (those who have GT4). Can explain what would be the best settings on my S15 Silvia (HKs/Genki | Taniguchi's S15) car?
Which tires?
the LSD settings (as i know i have 3 different settings at the LSD option).
Maybe Inital/Accel.../Decel... ?
then the Suspension settings. Things like that... i also add 3stage Turbo. if i need more power. but i dont think so...

I'm using the DS2 controller to drive...

And my Japanese is not that good. So i'm not 100% of the settings. Would be cool if someone can help me about the right settings for that car.
(especialy Tyres/Suspension/LSD).

P.S: Thanks for the video... the first corners was more then good

 

[Sardoman]

that was a nice video... i'm looking forward to drifting!

 

[SSJChar]

too bad garage cars cant be found in 2p mode, cuz twin drifting would be quite sweet. are the D1 cars, untuned, easy enough to drift with? cuz if not, i dont think we're going to be seeing any twin drift or drift battles, which is kinda dissapointing.

 

[dreams]

That is one kick ass vid!
Anyone care to share the tuning settings?
It's a toyota chaser right?

 

[puricele7e]

No, it's a Lexus GS300 or Toyota Soarer (maybe?) 👍

 

[.star.]

its an older gs300/aristo

are there still sim tires in gt4?

 

[_3000GT]

as i know they are... short name S1/2/3 💡

 

[dreams]

Those are Sports 1,2,3
N1,2,3 is Normal
R is for racing
The other two are snow and dirt.

No Sims
and yes.. it's an old aristo!

Are you sure it's no simulation tires? Because i see him drifting every corner (even high speed corners).

 

[abman]

That drift video is not with the 900 degree mode on...it's set on 200 degree mode, if you notice the wheels position goes at full lock when only turning the wheel at 90 degrees. 900 degree mode is much harder to drift with....the steering must be very quick...i own GT4 now and the GT4 demo is easier to drift in compared to GT4 the full game. i just wish logitech didnt make such a noisy steering wheel. The wheel is great fun, but the noise is starting to annoy me now.

 

[Jay]

That was the best GT4 vid I have seen yet!!!awesome

 

[FadingFists]

ah wow...first off hi im new.

second, that drift vid really got me excited again for GT4. after hearing how many people were having trouble drifting i got a bit anxious, however with that aristo vid, he took my line through the first short tunnel, connecting it to that next right, which means everything can be done as well or better than in GT3. Awesome.
