GT4 Drifting

nickyf1 · 7 Mar 2006, 19:40 (Ref:1539757)

I tried a bit of drifting in GT4 with the HKS Silvia, and it takes a while to get the hang of it! Is there a certain technique to this, I have been trying some scandanavian flicks to get more slides, but thats all.

I've found the best (ie most fun) car to do this in is the 4WD VW Golf that you can buy in the Tuners section.
Buy the biggest HP upgrades, slap on some slippery rear tyres, set it up for max power distribution on the rear, and let it rip!

I found it quite easy to do this without even trying, in the big block V8, classic American Muscle Cars.

I found that one of the Renault Clios is very good at drifting. Probably as a result of my total lack of control

Turn off the driving aids with an unmodified Plymouth Super Bird and it's a lot easier to go sideways than in a straightline. Bizarrely once you get the hang of it you can get some pretty decent laptimes (relatively speaking) out of it.

The D1 Drift Cars are good

now uve come into what i really like in gt4, use n2 tires, and set up the suspension just right, if u want a set up i can send u one for the silvia, but usually i just use it in arcade with comfort tires, same with the er34, i found the best is he Rx-7 Spirit R type A and mod it up, if u want any set ups tell me for any car, ill go try it if its FR and resonable, that goes for anyone on here

I have just deleted my GT4 Profile and started again and I drove that car, and I thought it was so good I bought it, I have a few mods on it and run it with no Aids, do you have any set-ups for it, I hav'nt got alot of money just now, about 20 odd cr. However, I am going to run the Japan road car series and then run in the JGTC and get some money and then sell My two Nissan Z's that you win in these series, that should get me around 800 to 900,000 cr.

And how do you transfer replays to a computer?

The HKS S15 and Blitz ER34 are relativley Garbage compared tot he S2000 I came up with, 393bhp, and a crazy setup so it maxxes out at 140mph.

I found a great set up for a Toyota Corrola GT-Apex Levin '83 in the GTP Forums.

You need the best of everything, max HP, Variable LSD, racing suspension, Original turbine kit (HKS Tuning) stage 3 weight reducton, roll cage, medium/superhard racing tyres...etc

::SETUP::

Brake Balance - 3/15
Spring Rate - 12/12
Ride Height - 99/99
Bounce Side - 6/6
Rebound Side - 8/8
Camber - 4/2
Stabilisers - 5/4
Transmition - Auto Setting 10
LSD - 10/50/20
Tyres -
Style Drift -- Med/Superhard
Racing Drift -- Med/Hard

Hope you enjoy, if you have that car! The car is very cheap in used cars, and remember to change your oil as soon as you get it! Oh, and NOS helps mid drift as the car doesnt have alot of power. Remember, when drifting, delicate controls, tap the NOS and Have fun!

Racing tyres automatically mean that the setup fails. Try drifting on the Economy/Comfort/Road tyres, if you can do that, then your good.

nickyf1 · 2 Dec 2006, 16:05 (Ref:1780375)

I usually use those tyres that you mentioned, but I was just gpoing with the setup there, I might tweak it a bit.

Matt · 2 Dec 2006, 16:06 (Ref:1780376)

Dont go by other peoples setups, you should create some based upon your own driving style. Me, for example HATES when the car starts to slide as soon as you start to turn it, I like to force the cars into slides.

nickyf1 · 2 Dec 2006, 16:09 (Ref:1780378)

I did try out lots of setups to see which one suited my style, this did, I just couldnt find a good setup originally, so I searched on the net for one, and tweaked it slightly. I love the car to slide as soon as it goes in. I go to the outside, flick the car in, and do all the throttle and steering bits.

nickyf1 · 2 Dec 2006, 21:06 (Ref:1780498)

I tweaked a GTP Forums RUF BTR setup, and wow! You really have to work to stop it understeering on tight corners. It has also taught me that using the handbrake is a good idea... And I like doing Dirt Drop Drifts with it, Especially on double apex corners...ooh, baby. And turn 1 at trial mountain is Difficult to drift, but I finnally mastered it! You need to faint very early, before the Gran Turismo Banner, then hit the ebrake, Flick it into the apex, accelerate, countersteer, then link the drift into the next corner, getting the Left Rear on the dirt for some style, then Power Over into turn 3.... magical stuff.
