Still working on a stable drift setup on the Silvia.
You lose alot of speed tho.
Sweet, I'm still trying to pull one off.
However, on a real world note, I'm a Professional drifter, instructor and international level judge, and if you did that in competition, you would have been marked down massively, as the car washed into understeer mid-corner (the bit in the video where you completely straighten the front wheels). Next time, get on the power earlier and pop the clutch while holding full lock and, with some skill and luck, you'll hold the full-lock drift all the way through the corner
Edit: watch the video of Kawabata above and compare it to yours, what he does is drop a gear and go full throttle (to get instant wheelspin), then upshift, and pop the clutch (to build massive wheel-speed), and as a result he stays at full lock

Not all have cut knuckles
Luke Fink managed to pull it off this year in Germany in a STOCK R33 GTS-T
Yes I'm on DW, same name.
I've driven in (in order) D1GB ('05), D1GP ('05), EDC ('06 and '07), Eurodrift ('06), JDM AllStars ('08).
I've judged JDM AllStars ('09 and '10), Toyo Drift Cup (Poland, '10), Drift open (Poland, '10), DriftSeries.NL (Holland, '10).
And I work for JDM Academy and DriftRacing Academy.
So I think I'mreasonably well qualified
Nice vid. I used to own an S13. Keep 'em comin'...
I hope you're joking...
Forza 3 is the easiest sim (sim-cade) I have ever drifted in... It's so effortless it's borderline boring...
Drifting in GT5 is not "easier", it's more complex, and much more realistic.

You don't need knuckles, on a Nissan you just move the steering rack forwards and, if you REALLY want, change the ackerman to zero by modifying the pickup points on the hubs
I was just about to say, us poorer DFGT-ers don't even have a clutch, so we have to drift like we would in those Rice-a-roni automatic 240s, without the clutch.Well yeah, i have the DFGT wheel and do not have clutch (couldnt find it in options either) also the drift is far from the apex too but still its was just under a testrun
But you CAN go to 90 degrees, without steering mods, just like you can in real life.
You enter with a mega aggresive flick to get the car to or past 90 degrees. Then dip the clutch, nail the foot brake, hold the car at stall point, drop a gear, rev the engine, then as it's about to regain grip, drop the clutch. I pulled off two backward entries yesterday and a couple the day before. You can only do it if, like in real life, you have a car with balanced grip, i.e. similar grip front and rear so that, when you lock the fronts and rears, the car sits on the 'stall point'.
You probably don't understand what I mean as that's not exactly the best explanation, but with sufficient skill, experience and understanding of the physics involved, it's possible, and easier than you'd think.
Wish I had a capture device and I'd show you. Failing that, if you still don't believe me, my PSN name is as per here, so add me and come skid
