I've been playing the GT series since day one, I tried drifting with GT4 but failed miserably.
I'm not ready to give up.

Ok, I have a S13. I like the style and I'm glad it's one of the recommended starter cars.
But... I don't know what I'm doing with the set-up.
I've seen various settings from different posts and different threads, but could someone please post or PM me with a complete tune/set-up for my S13. A tune for a newbie.

Also any advice on drifting techniques, speeds and starter tracks would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and I'm using a DS3 pad.

Thanks.
Jay
 
You'll probably take this the wrong way, but just start off simple, just put on a tune and practice, practice, practice with that single setup alone. You'll learn all the ins-and-outs of the car regardless of the setup, and only you will know the car's quirks.

I can't remember my exact tune, but here's a simple base you can try. Keep in mind I was using a DFGT with no ABS.


Brakes: 2 Front / 4 Rear

Suspension: Maximum lowered ride height in front, 2-3cm higher in rear. Spring rates: 7 F, 6 R. Dampers and Sways 3 all around. Camber: 3.2 F, 0.8 R, Toe: -0.2 F, 0.03 R.

LSD: 60/55/45

Transmission: common sense

Aero: none

Ballast: none

Stage 2 Engine build, Stage 1 Turbo, Stage 3 weight reduction.

Built to about 315hp.



I'm sure I left something out as I'm very tired, but this should give you a good, stable tune to start from. Get comfortable with it and down the road when you know everything about how the car reacts, slowly start tweaking it further. I hope I helped and good luck. 👍
 
Thanks guys

@Adavicro... No offence taken. Any advice for a guy like me is good advice.

I'll try both of these set-ups tonight when I get on.
 
I tried the Seasonal Drift events yesterday and failed amazingly.
After trying this set-up I managed to gold both events with a few thousand points over in each.
Needless to say I'm chuffed to bits.

Now to get some more practice in.

Thanks again guys

I suggest don't do drift events if the physics is different. If your planning to play online, join lobbies and see if you can get pointers here and there. I am sure that SFX_Adavicro is always willing to help and so is Knight Spirit
 
I have no plans to drift online just yet. Need to practice more, but I'll bear that in mind.
I just plan on having some fun and showing off to the missus.
 
Best place to practice drifting is on your online lounge. Because offline and online physics are different.
 
Cheers guys. I'll take my practice online then.
I'll add you when I get home.
