I disagree, individual threads about tunes are much more usefull than the same topics about "newbie drifters", "wheel drifting tips", "drifting preferences", and many other that if you dig in the search, there will be maybe hundred of them.
Besides, the drifting depot is flawed in every aspects. N4ke promissed to fix that mess after the school ends, but still a promisse only. Im thinking about invest heavy in the gtvault.com, witch finaly have a dedicated space for GT5.
About the Skyline request, i have one of this properly tuned for drifting, but i dont trust so much on that.

I guess the main issue about tune your own car is that most people doesn´t have any clue about the diferences about a standard setting (that one witch comes with your car), racing settings, drifting settings (for drift mode) and drifting settings (for online drifting). Also, its all dependant of your favorite set of tires, same as your driving settings and periferal device.
Even myself who tried more than 100 cars, all maxed, all tunned to it best... still learning new things every day. About LSD, optimal power band (gearbox settings, turbo level, HP range), about camber optimal angle range (benefits and counterparts), weight balance / distribuition: ballast x rear spring adjustment, brake balances, the mandatory mods for MR or RR... Its all very complex and sometimes subjective.
One exemple:
When i drifted only using the hood camera, my damper numbers was very lower than now. Because the chase view (witch im training monstly since 1 month or so) is necessary to have a less sensible car, since your control and physics sensation is much affected.
Stills, i respect who is able to find a decent setup for his needs, but this is not the majority. My suggestion is, when you´re slamming your head on the wall to make a car works, and you see someone in the same lobbie with exactly the same car working for drift, you have 2 options:
1 - Respectfully ask if he can tell you (typing or via the mic) all valors of his settings. If you both are smart, it wont take more than 5 minutes.
2 - Add him in your friend list, ask he to share his car in his " online shared cars garage", grab that car, test for yourself (offline), copy all the specs in a paper, and try the same thing into your car. At least you will have a starting pattern to work with.

👍 Well said
What I did in GT4 to make a tune was that I'd set the car to a certain tuning setup like my other cars and then I would tune from there.
search button is your friend
I had a feeling people wouldn`t take kindly to me just 'bluntly' asking for a 'tune'. Mind you, I have tried searching, but to no avail (I wouldn't have asked in the first place if I had not tried the most advised function that every person with +100 postcount tries to recommend seemingly-new-to-forum individuals.)
I was serious in the sense that I've tried working with my own 'drift' set-up for online lobbies, and though I'm satisfied, maybe someone would have a better suspension set-up for this particular car alone. Truth be told, it's a slow a** car, but it does the job. I just wondered if people actually have used this car and have a set-up that has a little more grip (for faster entry / exit speeds) and still maintains a good balance.
I'll take this and Liquid's input to consideration, amongst the mass of "this guy must be a noob so i'll bash him". LOL thanks though, very helpful (Y) (though I don't plan on asking for his layout now.
- also, i have yet to find someone using it, because everyone's got silvia's and 7s and anything but this.

I have a tune for it and from what I can remember, it's pretty stable. I'll PM you the suspension settings when I get on GT in a couple of hours.
If my tune doesn't work out for you, then what Lazy Liquid and jrkiwiboy said is probably your best bet.
One more thing, great choice of car. I know what you mean by everyone using RX-7's and Silvia's. I understand they're quick and have great speed, but it's also so boring seeing the same cars over and over again. Which is why I drift IS/GS 300's, Miata's, older RWD Nissans and cars of that sort. I do use a Silvia actually, but it's from 1965.

KDeeela, i added you. Try my car and check if it fits for ya. Honestly i dont like it (i have many cars even with less HP witch can hold longer slides), but with my setup you wont have problem to keep it drifting, and i guess it fits for your concern (fast entries, efficient corner outs).
If you think my setup is a garbage, let me know too.
