Great job to all of the NEMESIS fam for representing in this comp and congrats to CJ on his first comp win! 👍

This is why this team is so strong - all of us are contenders.

Who needs to recruit when we develop Legends. :sly:
 
Nice CJ way to rep you guys rock, it's amazing to see our fam win these contest! I hope drivers understand how stressful a contest is and to stay consistent through that many runs and rounds is tuff. Way to stay focused.

Congrats on the win today CJ!!! You were consistant through all your rounds, making very few mistakes. Well done 👍

CJ's First 1st Place!!!!!

@Reign: If you haven't already, you should have a look at the Public Drift Settings Depot, and find TwinTurboCH's tunes for both the S13 and FC. Either of those cars with those tunes are great for learning.

Congrats CJ, that's awesome!

Thanks for the heads up Twitch. I'll check out TwinTurbo's FC tune. (I'm rockin s13s from E and Marc now... They are perfect!)

**edit** forgot to add... props Twitch and E for making top 16! Any video out yet?

Thanks Push... That means a lot to us!

I got your PSN message but haven't talked to the rest of the guys yet about it. I'll get back to ya!
 
Congrats on the win CJ! Also congrats to all the other competitors! (☆^ー^☆)
 
Hey guys this probably Isint the right place for this but I was wondering if you had any drift car suggestions for a novice drifter. I wanna get more into drifting and I'm looking for a good car to start off. I would preferably go with a Nissan but I'm not sure. I'm also on a dfgt.

I suggest you start with a low horsepower car such as s13,14, and s15. Make sure you buy LSD, mid range turbo, suspension, etc. I started off with an AE86 using comfort hard tires. When you get the hang of it, start using mid-high horsepower cars such as the Z. From this point, you can pretty much drift any RWD, RR and MR cars using comfort hards. Hope this helped :D If this doesn't help you, I can send you my ready drift S15. I'm sure you'll learn from this car.

Cool thanks what about a 180 or a 240
 
AllTerainTiger
Ok cool hmm one thing when Im I a turn ill snap back pretty hard towards the others side I'm guessing it's because I let go off gas and the weight shifts forwards
Click to expand...

Yes, this is probably the case. It's a bad habit.

If you're letting off of the gas entirely in the middle and exiting a corner, you're not doing it right. You want to ease off of the gas, possibly, to regain rear traction on corner exit or adjust angle, (better than upshifting right away on exit) because that will still keep weight shifted backwards. In fact, weight shift will be better than at full throttle, because the car is actually accelerating faster with less gas (as the tires stop spinning as much) than with more gas. HOWEVER, this only applies if you stay on the throttle the whole time, though not always at full throttle.

You could compensate for this with Toe/Camber etc. settings, but while it will make it easier to drift with this habit, it won't teach you to remove the bad habit entirely.

You should ease your steering out as you exit. Remember that the front wheels want to follow the path of the car plus the slip angle of the front, not just be at lock all of the time (unless that's the direction you want your car to go!) so throughout the turn you need to slowly add countersteer and remove it. I think it sounds like you're countersteering too hard and suddenly in mid-corner and letting off of the throttle at that time will do what you are describing.

Notice how the front wheels change angle over the whole corner, instead of maintaining full lock:

So just slowly countersteer by "dialing in" the steering instead of snapping it, and then maintain at least some throttle on exit. A well-tuned transmission and proper engine tuning should get you to "feel" just how much throttle in each gear is necessary for maximum smoothness on exit.


If you want to learn to drift smoothly and efficiently, use the S13 completely stock, or (as I prefer for new drifters) an S130 Z on comfort softs. Not because it teaches you basics of drifting, but that in order to drift that car with any competency you need to be as efficient with your driving as possible, thus showing you clearly what habits are bad and what habits are good.

Oh my god thank you this helped so much Im holding my turns really good now. And ya I never go full lock I always find that spot where the car gets a bit of grip. And my throttle control is different because I do rally only and I always have to adjust on my throttle due to different turns but thank you this helped so much. Right now I'm currently using a 180sx with a high rpm turbo I use the high rpm because it makes me work on my throttle control much more. Plus it's more easier feathering my throttle than just letting off slowly and going back on.

Just remember that throttle is the only way to change the ratio of power at the wheels to grip of the tires while you're driving.

...but it's not the only way to change the ratio when you are not. Once your technique is down, look into transmission ratios and ballast settings and tuning for at-the-wheel torque for the RPMs you drive in at a good rear wheel weight, instead of peak HP numbers.

Ya I have the turns good now,now I just need to work on my transmissions
 
AllTerainTiger
No I just can't transfer into the next turn but my gears are fine right now.

When you want to make a transition, try shifting down and steer to the direction that you want to go too. After successfully making the transition, shift back up again and floor it.

Another way is to let go off the gas and steer to the direction that you wish to go too. After that, floor it.

Thanks this helped alot I'm know able to link my turns at Fuji an Suzuka east course
 
No problem guys!
And I agree with Gambino. Our instincts builds up our techniques that we don't even know off lol.
By the way, have you guys seen this picture? lol
