I've tryed that on my D1 Blitz ER34 Skyline. I was so frustrated :grumpy: because the back of the car dosen't want to spin when I was braking. So, I've decided to put some Road Tire ( Normal Tire ) !

Damn!! I've become a Drift King in about 5sec! ! The angle of my drift were really big, and I can push it to the max ! Try this!

that post made no sence at all. please modify it to make better sence.
 
Look around a bit please before you post...

using low grip tires is common knowledge... thank you Captain Obvious... :p
 
Crap, evrytime I wanna edit away some gram. faults I post a double post!!:irked: I'm talking about the one below, THAT's the right one
 
Damn he's only trying to be helpull man, it's just a tip for the ones........well using other tyres, so don't judge him on being Captain Obvious or something, cause from what hey says he can probably drift better than MOST of you, or he's an even good drifter as you are. Probably he didn't see this tip on tthe threads before, that's why he's "late" swiching to right tyres, so now everybody DOES know this:tup:

Maybe YOU know that.... But i'm sure there's some newbie out there who have not pay attention to there's tire... Like me. And i'm not a newbie, i've done 4 video of drift in GT3 ( only on a tape... don't have a IN ) and i'm now able to drift in GT4 with this. Anyway, you will not even try to understand...

Actually, I do try to understand...

The funny part is, all this kinda stuff gets covered in drift guides... there fore your information is redundent.

My reference to look around meant check what has already been posted, espcially in the guides...

you're from quebec. i REALLY hope to god that you are french or something, and that english is not your primary language.

if you are french, nice try...but as said before, you disillusionally stated the obvious.
 
could you guys be any more harsh... -_- well nice find anyway, AE86 just keep on doing what your doing and the rest of us will do our part just don't be discouraged.. remember stress builds up on your performance.. so dont be stressed or troubled while drifting :)

Allright, I'll agree on you that it's obvious, but it's just a mistake, it's not THAT bad, any tip is posted just to help some people and in the drift guides it may be there already but you wouldn't REALLY know that it made THAT difference in drifting:), although tyres are a big part of drifting:indiff:
 
I know... It's normal. The rear should slide when you put the gaz, not when your braking. I cannot explain it clairly, so someone help him and my ! :dopey:
 
Well, when you hit the gas, your rear end loses traction because..........well because you hit the gas, its just simple. As for braking, when you brake in a drift, I spin as wel then, so it might have to do that your wheels lock up and don't have traction in an other way:D

That's about it, later
 
I think that when he said his car wouldn't spin, he meant that the CAR wouldn't come around.(spin) Not the tires. when you hit the brakes it transfers the weight to the front tires, thus unloading the rear and breaking grip.(starting to spin the car) That is what he was refering to.
 
i thought that was the first thing yu did for drifting, along with taking off the asm and tcs...you have taken off the asm and tcs right? before you start another thread claiming to have found another really helpful tip 👍

well knowing from my settings that I have been working on(this car is such fun) you can has the asm understeer on if you have a AWD car due to the fact that all AWD cars on Road have alot of understeer.

So if I read correctly he meant the car's rear wouldn't slide around?

Yeah I think he meant that to my post, saying that my car spins TOO when hitting the brakes.
Well I meant it in the way of NOT JUST when accelerating, but also with braking, not that he had the same problem...............hope someone understands this:dunce:

About that the cars weight shifts to the front and loses traction in the back, it may be true, but I think it's too UNimportant to apply this in GT3, don't know for GT4 though, maybe there it's more important because of the "so feared" understeer.
Although I have heard many people saying it's just a getting-used-to thingie, than an understeer problem.

I think that braking and shifting weight doesn't REEAALLY help you cause you probably end up hitting the gas afterwards because of the lack of speed
 
Well everytime I drift my rear doesn't slide when the brakes are applied it stops me from turning but I just fishtail intiate the drift then modulate the thorttle and cleanly counter steer. I say don't rely on brakes if you want to slide.

Well then it just has gotta do with a difference in GT3 and GT4, or with the settings I don't know, I think the settings are the problem, cause I have Brake Balance control up real high wich means the tyresspin when I brake, I read that somewhere
 
In GT3 I never had to feint(or fishtail as it was put above) or hit the sidebrake (e-brake) to initiate a drift. All I had to do was start turning in early and hit the breaks and the weight would transfer to the front and outside tire and easily break traction of the rear tires. At which point I would give it throttle to fan my tail out, modulate and countersteer.

In GT4 it is a different story when you steer and hit the brakes the car understeers and goes off the track. I will have to come up with different setups or change my technique. The ebrake doesn't even properly work for some cars. I hate setting all brakes to the rear. You shouldn't have to do that to initiate a drift.

That's a good point about GT3.

In GT4 you HAVE to use more techniques for weight transfer techniques, not just getting the wheels spinning. That's the main difference I've seen so far. When you get the weight shifted properly, the car can and will drift predictably. When bad technique or simple wheelspin causes the drift, then it tends to be a bit more difficult.
