Say if I wanted to use a Nismo 400R or a Skyline S-tune for rally events. I have some trouble getting enough oversteer with the S-tune, and setting the VCD to 80/20 seems to help but there must be a better way. Suspension is high, somewhere around 140 mm. What's your guys' experience?
 
High ride height is ok, shocks must be set almost or equal and stiff,spring rate shouldnt be much different from tarmac values perhaps just a little softer, for oversteer might recommend to set the rear stronger but no more than 1.0 also a stronger front stabilizer helps lets say 6/4 as an example,set camber to 2.8 both front and rear.
I would suggest a 50% VCD as you need the most grip at dirt tracks.
Remember that the more you increase the power the more unstable a car would be so different values would apply for each tune level ,also having no downforce means some disadvantage when racing against race models.
