What did ya think its the best setting i have ever had but it all comes down to personal choice i guess lolz.
 
I tried your settings...Not to be mean or anything, and don't take it harsh...But for me...They Suck :nervous: It's unbalanced for me. I don't know if its the way you tune your cars or if it's the way I drift...It's horrible for me.
 
Realy this is the best settig i have ever had and my brother who works on race cars helpedme do it i think it is the way we drive.
 
...Probably, kind of hard for me to understand that...Does your brother have a business, a site, a telephone # that I can call...I'd like to find out if I can get ... :dopey:
 
He used to work for bedge goods corner just as a mechanic but his setups where better than most of the engeneers and he done a 20K course on howe to set up cars. The thing i like about this setting even thoe it tank spanks a bit it is predictable and it holds good line also it is easy to bring back in after a tank spank.
 
What?! I couldn't read 20 words you typed there...Could maybe retype it please?
 
translation: his bro worked as a mechanic, his setups are better than most engineers...he has gone through a $20k course on how to tune a car...i have no idea what "tank spanking" is ...someone told me a while back but then i forgot :p
 
Thanks drifting dreamer...but still, I don't believe the guy cause aren't engineers people who design building and stuff...I think he means mechanic or something...Maybe technician ? I'm not sure...I don't believe him.
 
hey Ekmatt9 u said that you will try to figure out the perfect lsd settings and then Pm them to me. so yes im impatiently waiting for them
 
...I don't recall saying or seeing anyone saying there was...
 
driveanyway said he got better settings, im just saying that BL's are great so far compared to the other settings

lol there are "mechanical engineers" too yah no :)
 
Hay guys i made my setting better
LSD
INTIALTRQ:55
ACCEL:55
DOWNFORCE
Front:3
Rear:1
Lol it sounds like a weired setting but i like it I also tried BL's settings and they didnt work for me i guess it all comes down to personal choices.
 
Those LSD settings look more DS2 compatible to me.. most wheel drifters seem to prefer softer initial setting, something like 15/40/10. When I was using the d-pad at first, I used 50/50/15 a lot, that way the car turns into bambi on ice when sliding... but LSD tuning is definitely up to personal taste.
 
hey ekmatt9, im a beginner at drifting and i wanted to say THANKS for the mods and settings 👍 it really helped. im sure BL's settings were as good, but i didnt try it.

i was wondering if you, or anyone would be helpful enough to post some mods and settings for a skyline(any skyline 92 and up) or the BLITZ D1 skyline :) tnx 👍
 
blitz d1 skyline settings - completely stock...dont touch anything...just turn off all aids and your good
 
OK, as this is one of my favorite cars to drift and BL has slammed me for not posting in this thread(as he rightly should:dunce: ). I've decided to post this vid here.

Twin Ring SS Short corner

This is a short clip of twin ring Super speedway with a stock power FD 91 RS. I'll post my settings later. As I'm at work right now. :dopey:
 
Btw Swift, could you post the settings for the stock version as well as the aprox. 350 hp version.

Thanks
 
Oh I missed that video.
Nice one Swift, finally a video from you, it's pretty good, especially for Twin Ring:tup::dopey:

Thanks! :D
 
Ok, here are my settings.

Springs 9.6/7.2
height 105/105
shock bound and rebound 8 all around
camber 2.5/1.5
toe 0/0
stabilizers 3/5

LSD 15/40/15

Everything else was stock.

This car oversteers like there is no tommorow. So the trick I've found is to use throttle control to keep it where you want it.
 
cool! Thanks:tup:

It isn't much different from my set ups though, except for stabilizers.

Stabs make a big deal of difference in GT4. Much more then GT3 and you have to treat them differently.

But I still think the paramount issue is the LSD.
