This is my first GT5 video, and it is of me drifting the Nissan Fairlady Z (Z34) '08 on Suzuka Circuit East and Tsukuba Circuit. It is filmed with a camera, but the quality is fairly decent.
It was just uploaded, so it may need some more time to finish processing to the highest quality.
Please let me know what you guys think.

Firstly, the video was kicking a sweet vibe and it was great to see some Suzuka love! Some points you could improve on is making the drifts longer, faster and linking more fluidly. I think some good advice would be to just fly into the corners faster (I enter the first corner on Suzuka East at around 145-150 km/h and the second corner at around 110 km/h) and learn to angle it at higher speeds. You have some great potential and I can see you can improve into a great drifter :)

Also to embed videos take the code after the v= (at the end of the URL) and put it in the Youtube tags (there's a shortcut when you make a thread in the top bar)

Hope this helps :)
 
Thats some very positvie feedback right thurr.. But keep at it man your doin fine; keep practicing and youll get better and better! Once you feel like youve got it down; go online! The physics there are a little different (more difficult) so you can excel even more!
 
Thanks a lot for the feedback. It reinforces many of the points I noticed in the video which I'm hoping to improve on. That said, the Suzuka part was made out of 3 different replays from different races which is why there were a couple sudden shifts.
As far as the speed, I try to enter the first turn on Suzuka at 95 mph and I tend to start the drift about a second before I get to the turn. One thing I've noticed from drifting the Z34 is that during the drift it has decent grip as far as drift cars go, however when you enter the corner it takes much more precision as well as speed control and the proper angle in order to get it to drift through properly. Mostly it's because it tends to slide towards the out side of the corner if you don't start early enough.
I've noticed a similar response with the Viper ACR '08 in that with my setup it has the potential to achieve very nice drifts, but at the same time it lacks grip when initiating the drift.

On that note, if anyone knows of any good Viper ACR '08 drift setups please let me know. I've been working on my own setup as I plan on using the Viper for my next video, however it would be helpful to have a model of another setup.

I wish they would add a drift option for playing online. I started drifting online in GT5, and only later did I begin to drift in the drift practice. That said, it varies a lot in that I can be drifting exceptionally well in drift practice, but when I go online I spin out the first few turns.
 
I tuned it myself and it has been working amazingly well for me. That said, the video doesn't really do the car justice, and since then I've been scoring consistent 12,000 points on Suzuka East which isn't incredible, but it's far better than how I was doing in the video. That said, I'm probably going to make a new video soon where the drifts are much improved from this one.
