I am using the dfp with 900 degrees rotation. For example: when I am going into a left curve, my s13 slides sideways for 3 seconds then continues to spin? I have bought lsd(not touched yet), racing suspension(only ride height lowered to the max), all power upgrades, brake controller moved up to 6 each and the regedity refreshed.
Why do I keep spinning out in a drift?

you might have too much power.
when you do a left turn, do you countersteer to the right at all? or vice versa. you have to.
try tires with more grip.

Running a car lowered all the way doesnt promote any movement in the suspension, that along with probably too much power is most likely why. Try a stock arcade car, or something modified under 250HP. Throttle control with high powered cars isn't easy, it'd be best to try something you can give more gas till your comfortbale playing ith the throttle, then move up to higher powered cars. But anything more than 350HP is pretty much overkill. I only have 3 cars setup for drift that have over 350HP. Two are just because theyre heavy, the other is track specific because it offers more grip than others.
should I have a harder tire in the back then the front? Ex: the front is s/m and the back is s/h. The ppl at gamefaqs said to put it like that but, I have s/m on the front and back. Also, what kind of tires should I use, I also want my ride to beable to race around the track also while racing agianst the ai.

use N3 tires front and back, check the settings depot and try a few other peoples settings.

he didnt say that, he meant higher powered cars need a lot of throttle control during a drift.
you should find a car that you can just floor through a corner so you dont have to worry about throttle control yet.

throttle is the gas pedal (or button on a controller). the thing you push to make your car go faster.

push the gas pedal to the floor. give it all the gas you can. push the X button as hard as you can.
by the way how old are you? you must be under 10 because you don't even know any basics about cars and have little, if any, grammer skills.

That can help you alot to better understand the concepts you need to apply to get better at drifting. Some helpful example videos too...

hahah...a thread gone to hell. i love it. I think u might just not understand basic drift theory and on that note driving a car at all. the tutorials on this forum are great for some explanation i've only been drifing in GT4 for a few weeks.

personaly i think it's impossible to recreate the drift we use to do in gt 3 because they changed physic in a negative way. when iuse to play gt 3 i could take a 900 hp viper in the best drift possible in midfield (4th turne and 5th turne) and now all i can do is smoke the tires
Speaking as a drifting n00b, I will tell you what I think are the three most important parts of a drift:
1. Throttle Control
2. Throttle Control
3. See 1 & 2
Seriously. It doesn't matter what you drive...high powered, low powered, whatever. It doesn't matter how much you countersteer. If you're giving it to much throttle, you're gonna spin out. If you give it too little, the rear tires are going to regain traction, and if you're angle is high, you'll get a snap effect that will probably throw you off the road.
It is important to note that you'll probably rarely keep the throttle at the max during the majority of a drift, especially in a high-powered car. The only exception is long, low-angled drifts.
Typically, the only time I have the gas floored is during the entrance to a drift. I enter by slowing down, turning to the outside, then swerving to the inside and flooring the gas. The back tires start spinning and the back end comes out. Time for throttle control! Let up on the gas a bit as you begin countersteering. Don't let up TOO much though, or the back will regain traction, and you'll likely get that snap and spin in the other direction. As you approach the end of the drift, you'll actually RELEASE the throttle (Slowly! But not too slow...) and allow the back to regain traction as you center the wheel.
Throughout your drift, you have to listen to the tires and watch your angle. If your angle is increasing and/or the tires are getting louder and higher pitched, then you have too much throttle. If the car is beginning to travel in a straight line, but the car is still pointing at an angle, then you gave too little throttle and you're probably about to get a snap.
Honestly, I would recommend practicing drifts with a 4WD car. 4WD cars seem to be more forgiving with having the proper amount of countersteer, as long as you don't countersteer too much. But if you don't countersteer enough, then you're less likely to spin out.

Hell, I brake to prevent snap oversteer in some cars.
Like my Ginetta on N2 tires.
or my 2002 Turbo on N3s...
Just tap the brakes when I want to come out of the drift, because just feathering the throttle will still leave these two older cars in awkward positions after a high angle drift.

counter steer, just feel your car, after you figure that kind of stuff out, the amount of countersteering and throttle will come to you by instinct
If you don't countersteer, then isn't the car more likely to spin out? With the front wheels sliding rather than carving out the turn, I'd think they'd slow down the front of the car too much, and it'd be impossible to pull off a longer drift.
Unless its a 4WD, of course. My experience is showing that they require less countersteer with the same angle than an FR. In fact, I don't think you could countersteer a 4WD in such a way that caused the front wheels to NOT slide. Otherwise, the front wheels would pull the car straight, and likely cause a snap.

I think both throttle control and countersteering are equally important. You can full throttle a drift while controlling angle with steering, keep your countersteer firm while controlling with the throttle, or a combination of both. It depends on what drift you want, your feel, your style.
