Sorry if this post has been done before

I have a Cefiro with full HA tein suspension. Camber, height, and dampener adjustable. I'm running 225/60/15 GIII on the front , junk on the back

My question is what is the best set up for drifting ???????

What do I set it at ??

Is the front different from the rear??

Harder at the front or rear

and hints, tips would be greatly appreciated

Billy

Hi Billy,

What you want is to have the rear as hard as possible. I have put in a thicker rear sway bar from a GTR into my car as well as a front/rear strut brace.

I have the front of my car a bit softer than the rear to soak up any understeer and a decent set of tyres on the front - semi slicks on the front are ideal, but can be expensive.

Tein HA's are known to be extremely hard so it will be perfect for your drift application.

Good luck with it.

-Liam.

thanks heaps mate thats great

i have front and rear strut braces and (get this) stock 27mm solid front sway bar on the ceffy and a whiteline 25mm rear sway bar of an S13

I will lock up the rear and set the dampeners on not so hard in the front on the next drfit day on the 27th

thanks for that again

Remember to play around with your settings.

After all, its what YOU prefer, there is no SET guidelines as to what HAS to be used for drifting.

Some extra information from settings that i use on my car (r32 gts-t)

Castor = 8 degrees

Front Camber = 2.5degrees neg

Rear Camber = 2degrees neg

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
