so would 45 45 15 be a good setting for this car ?

I would say that initial setting is way too high... I don't see a reason to go above 25 or so... Most of my drift cars are between 10 and 15 for the LSD initial setting... Between 25 and 45 on the Accel... Last but not least, between 10 and 25 on the LSD Decel...

Give something in that range a shot, and let me know how you fare...

Yeah thats alot better but now I'm back to square one with the suspension its now understeering and doing that funny snapback and i can't for the life of me figure out what I did wrong :(

As my reaction implied earlier, 10/12kg springs on an s13 is a bit overkill (at least, for drifting)... Try a lower spring setting... 8/6, 8/8, 7/8, 8/9, etc... That will help the snapback... The LSD decel and Initial setting determine to a great degree how much "snap-back" will occur... However, snap-back is just as determined by the driver inputs, as the settings... Back off the countersteer a bit, and smooth out your throttle inputs...

I'm really into pushing cars lately, although it's pretty difficult to maintain drifts because you change your directions with angle change I noticed. And with high LSD Accel it becomes fairly difficult to change angle...so you put it in a drift and it pretty much wants to maintain that angle all the way. To make up for that I'll try to use low initial settings so that I can just lift off the throttle to make more angle and lock that angle again with the high LSD Accel.

Dont know if it works though but I think it seems to work this way:tup:

Thanks for the stabilizers tip btw!

BTW I always play with higher front chamber lately to counter snap back. The steering inputs dont seem too grippy then:tup:
 
I was working on that Lexus Convertible, damn, what a awefull car to drift, it maintains the drift on long corners but to get in into a drift, what a pain!
 
Ok I revised my settings and came up with something that works
