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

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

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
