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

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
