best technique

[ryoku_evolution]

what would be the best drifting technique to use with my 86 trueno?

this is the setup that i used:

 

[foshoazn]

feint and lift-off

 

[Droptop_Chick]

I personally wouldn't even use that setup. That seems WAY too stiff for a car that's already very light. But I can see how it would be a setting for some heavy heavy feinting.

 

[Ten]

Shift lock and feint with lightweight FR vehicles.

Power-over and snap oversteer for linking on 400hp+ vehicles.

 

[Onikaze]

Don't forget Feint, Lift Throttle, and Brake induced oversteer for MR and RR cars.

 

[dking]

re-feint to lift off throttle oversteer is my favorite right now

ebrake when needed..(extreme off line drifts)

and like the others that stated above.

Why is it that everyone HAS to drift in a darn Hachi Roku? It's a nice car for drifting, but I personally like the Mazda RX-7...

its a hard car to drift in and a balanced one

I'll give it that, It's balanced. I can drift that car in my sleep though, hell, I can smoke a cig while drifting that biznatch . Now, the RX-7 is a tough bastard to initalize a drift in...

can you drift it stock like the RX7?

 

[ViXeN]

My latest craze is using NOS on lower HP cars, helps get the wheels spinning on long sweeps...

Feinting I use for sharp 2nd gear hair pins.

lift off helps too on long sweeps.

/\ Some advise form a noob /\

No...it tends to die in turns...

As an addendum, I can drift the whole Trial Mountain circuit with a cheapass, untuned Hachi-Roku, but heaven help me if I try to tackle Tsukuba, the Hachi chokes on the first corner.

Awww crap. I'm such a GODDAMN IDIOT!

There is no best technique, that is what I think, just like there is no best drifter

 

[Onikaze]

Best Technique=Not ****ing it up.

LOL No s*** sherlock!!

I tend to do a TON of feint drifting on this game.

Me too.

Power over drift? Last time I tried that I found myself up against a wall and my eyeballs were vibrating in my head.

Brake drifts? In GT4, brakes are made for stopping. No luck there.

For the powerovers try getting a full customizeable LSD and setting it really tight. I run this normally: initial: 15-30, accel: 40-60, decel: 10-20. The tighter you have the accel the looser you will be during wheel spin and the more stable it will be. As far as initial goes that just controlls the responsiveness of the accel or decel affect. And the tighter your decel is the more stable your car will be under braking, not necesarily a good thing in this game.

If you really want to know about LSD tuning read my post in this thread: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=66142

As for braking I run a brake bias controller on all my cars and in extreme cases have to run: front: level 3, rear: level 24. I know that's what I had to do to my Mustang anyways, but all the cars are different so like my RX-7 Bathurts is at front: level 10, rear: level 12.

Try that and see if it works.

 

[ViXeN]

I use 10 Front Brakes and 15 Rear brakes on most of my cars, works best for me...

Trips, check you're MSN buddy!!!

 

[r34jse]

which controller do you use i been trying with a wheel and its quite easy. is any one else finding that this is the way??
i think its easyer because you can counter steer realy smoothly
