I was wondering if anyone can name any other driftiing techniques other than the ones I have used for GT3 or Real Life:

=E-brake (or Sidebrake)
=Power Over
=Braking
=Accel Off
=Feint
=Manji
=Inertia
=Shift Lock? (if you guys use the reverse button to simulate a clutch-in technique)

Anything else?

Anyone have a favorite and with what car?

Well Power Over i'm guessing is Power Drifting that's what I do. Silviadrifter says it don't matter what you drift but if you look in my sig it says what I drift.

Power over is using the Accel to force the rear end of the car out. I think you are thinking of speed drifting. Also, there is nothing wrong with puting your favorite cars in your sig. I just stated that you don't need to anounce it to the team, every time you find a new car you like.;)
 
Dirt drop and jump (you basically clip the curb with the a rear tire during a corner) drifts are not really used very often, but they are drift techniques.

Well I just go slow into turns like 60-70mph and use the cars rear wheels power(667hp) to brake the rear end loose and and control the drift. That still speed drifting?
 
So what's the difference between 'feint' and 'inertia'? As I understood it those terms are basically the same.

Inertia drifting is basically just when you head into a corner going too fast and the tires lose grip on the road starting a drift. You know what a feint drift is.

feint is more of a term used when you purposely go in the opposite direction of the turn initially to build up a weight transfer situation I believe... whereas inertia is more of a transistion from one turn to another all while purposely understeering so that the front wheels swing into position.. I totally forgot about dirt drops, thanks guys!

That sounds right to me, at least the Feint part. I'm not 100% sure about the other part.;)
 
isn't manji using the e-brake to drift on the straight before the corner and keep drifting through? and choku-dori is drifting straights going side to side?
 
I use inertia. I throw the car over the oppisite way, and then throw it back in. Looks pimp, and it give me a great advantage when linking drifts. ;)

Power drifting and Power sliding are the same thing right?
 
I always thought Manji was driftiing in a straights

and..

I always though inertia drifting is making your car travel in one smooth motion using momentum (hence inertia) whiile the driver just pivots the car according to the apexs

and..

I love the fact that it doesnt matter what technique you use as long as the driver can DRIFT ON!..I have seen Japanese GT3 drifters do a lot of cool stuff.. as this one video of an AE86 drifting the ENTIRE Apricot Hill using the over-power, interia, and accel off technique (no brakes were used, the brake lights never came on and the car never head-dive before the turns)... I'll dig up the file and see if anyone can post it.

Dig it up, I wanna see it
;)
 
I am still looking for the video.. I might have burned it onto a CD.. I found it through yahoo.co.jp when I was looking up Japanese SUPER VANS from the Tokyo Auto Salon.

*Buzzer sound*
Sorry.

Choku Dori is holding the side brake while keeping the car sideways during exit, as to set up for the next turn, should that turn be a distance away from the turn you are exiting from.

Manji is used to sway back and forth down a straight to keep the drift going.
