Done.

Welcome to GTPlanet. Have a read through the sticky Read This: threads at the top of the board. Also, please do your best with writing clearly. Your last sentence there got a little breathless.

Enjoy your stay here at GTPlanet.
 
hmmm I don't use any special setup. I just set the car quite low and harden the suspension.

And then it's all about practise. You need the right speed before corner and a nice feint, and that skyline will go round like in my signature. Check it. Feint is, vhen just the right time beofre the corner you turn opposite of the corner, to transefer weight and then into the corner. And because of the weight shifting the car is allready trying to slide, if you've done it right. Then it's difficult to say. Depending of your speed and the quality of the feint you brake as necessary (never more than just a tab, strong when feint wasn't great one, and just a bit if the feint was great). And then it's all in the steering and accelerator. With 4WD skyline you need to push accelerator harder and do more steering input usually.

Just remember, the good drift starts before the corner, as you prepare to enter it, not in the corner or at the exit. It's all about proper entry.

I suggest to start drifting with a RWD car, with similar tehnicque it is easier and you learn the basics.
 
Hey Yevon-Himself, enjoy your stay here with us.

Well i suggest you use a rx-7 fd with Sims, as a first car. It is well balnced car and is good for beginners.

[edit]
Also do a search for "best first car" or at least something like that. You will find many threads, on this topic.
 
Personally, I tried Sheron's GTR V-spec II settings... and although it "will" drift with much effort, I thought it was extreamly stiff. On the other hand the Silvia s13 setup is amazing with alil tuning.

But yeah, the Rx7 Infini is a good starter car. =)
