"original" parts from tuning houses are good, esp the original suspension upgrades, as they are very stiff. and don't require alot of setup for drift.... ohh yeah, and turn of ASM & TC. Also if you want a fast dori racer then the "original" or stage 5 turbo is good as it has a bucket load of low RPM pulling power.

TCS and ASM should be switched off at all times anyway

whats so bad about playing with it on?

it's not that it's bad, but the cars feel more responsive and are considerably quicker with ASM & TC off, has a much more realistic feel to it.

it's also heaps more fun being able pitch your car sideways into a corner... :devil1:

Save your replay then play it in replay theatre, press select while its playing to take pics. Or just do a photo drive.

Thanks VIPERGTSR01 I'll give it a go. Should produce some interesting pictures considering my demented driving style ;)

I hate it with a passion, I drive much faster with it off.

If come on to the corner with abit of weight shift to counter some understeer the assists go off throttle and cause me to slow down drastically. The only time ive used assists on purpose is with my Nissan R92CP on Hong Kong track because of the crazy lag and then wheel spin behaviour of the Nissan at Hong Kongs low speed corners, even then I only put TCS on 2 and the rest is still off.

my friend just bought hks d1 s15.  

car is next to impossible to drift. lag lag lag boost peak. thing either spins or drives straight into a wall. spins wheels in 4th gear etc.

any one know how to get it right?

Ive spent a bit of time working on it. You have to put good tyres on it and play around with the gear ratios. Ie make them bigger. I cant drift with full power on you tap the throttle quickly should be able to hold drift without spinning out. How do you start your entry i cant feint drift very well with it only handbrake entry. But how good does it look :rofl: .

The best car to drift on GT4 is the Mazda Falken RX-7 D1GP, don't touch any settings to it just put some NOS for that extra kick when need it in the middle of a drift and maybe upgrade the turbo, the rest just comes naturally with this car. give it a go when you get the hang of it with this car you dont want to drive anything else.

Same thing happened to me at the start....Bought the BLITz and HKS D1 cars and couldn't drift them at all!

First thing to do obviously is turn all the driving aids off...

Then change the tyres to either normal "ecomomy" or normal "comfort"depending on what power the car is making ... Doing this really helps alot making sliding more predictable and easier, though you may have to change ur style a bit.

Also playing with the suspension can help if you get it right..... Try starting with upping the stabilizers to 5 each, camber at least 2.5 and 1.5 front/rear respectively, then work on the spring rates from there.

I found the HKS s15 impossible to drift at first, but with a power up (phat turbo) it was allright, but still easier in my road s15, but when i was actually racing it for fun one day, I decided to put on traction control (just to level 1) so I wouldn't just sit there and spin wheels and it drifted every corner perfectly. Give it a go, just remember, big turbo, no assistance except for TC on level 1. Works a charm ;)

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
