"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 ;)

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
