Na Drifting?

[kubiakGTR]

Hey guys....

OK well this question i know will definately make me sound like the biggest noob when it comes to cars lol but it is just something ive been thinking about for so long,

Im planning on buying an NA r33, Supra or DC2r. Im just curious is it possible at all to loose traction and for the rear end to start kicking out in either the r33 or supra at 60 kms + on a turn shaped like a half C

i understand if flooring it in first gear on a 90 degree angle this is most definately going to happen but have never been sure about this typical scenario.

Any feedback will be appreciated guys thanks, Anthony

Seriously stupid thing to ask lol. (why would you want/ need to know)

It depends what gear you are in, your tyres, if its raining etc. When I got my latest car (5 speed EF XR6), It came with real crap tyres, and if its raining and I put more then half throttle in any gear under 4, itll kick out.

When you say half-C , do you mean the C, or literally half of it? If youre going 60 and your in like 2nd or 3rd and your tyres are shit and the roads a bit wet then yeah you will loose traction in the rear, MAYBE if its dry.

Out of all of those cars get the Honda, shits all over the other two. NA R33's are slow as all hell, most/all NA Supras are bashed out shitters.

i never got tired of drifting my NA R33 in the wet.

It loved it, it needed it, it was insolent if i didnt.

In the dry, yeah first gear eaily enough with WOT n some decent turn, second if you were really being mean to it and just crying out for a defect... 3rd? ahhhh, no, in a nutshell....

I also hear that some R33 N/A's came without a limited slip diff. If thats the case, avoid like the plague as it will surely hamper the drifiting efforts. Not at all hektic.

No they will lose traction but Grip and not follow through like a Turbo....If this car is going to be your daily don't bother, get a cheap thrasher like every smart guy out their who want to Drift and light up the trye's somewhere legal.

lol ofcourse you can slide a NA. I wouldn't go a r33 or a supra if you want to slide though... get an NA s chassis.. stiff springs, welded diff and have fun sliding.. more skillz in drifting an NA... definitely possibly to break traction in either of those cars though.. just gotta know how to do it.

Now that it's raining, my R33 has been seeing some action.. but seriously, unless it's raining it's not worth owning.

Buy an S13 and some trashy tyres.. that's what I wish I had done.

I can't remember her name, but there's some girl from Australia who was invited to Japan to drift her in NA Silvia in some event.

My Supra can drift alright, I'd need a better clutch to get those 60+km turns as you need to clutch kick it quite a lot. I'd agree with getting some sort of NA Silvia though, the Supra can handle a single drift okay, but when you try and link it up the weight transfer just kicks your ass.

lol im not concerned about drifting guys i was just curious if i was accelerating through a turn like that if the rear end would kick out if i wasnt trying to? thats my worry? lol

[KezR33]

No.

the answer is both yes and no. if you are paying attention and using a bit of throttle control then you will be fine, and if the back was to start to let go you would feel it starting to lose traction before you were out of control. if you just turn hard into the corner with your foot burried into the carpet then it may let go (but more likely you would understeer more than oversteer in that example). the same goes for if you were to just floor it mid corner.

moral of the story, drive like a dick and bad things will happen. drive sensibly and you will be fine.
