Was just wondering how many other people play gt4 and do up cars for drift only. Because me and my mate have been doing it for ages and we have some pretty sick drift cars that drift awesome around courses like deep forest, trial mountain, midfeild, grand valley's, and others.

I live in Perth and want to see if there is any interest in a get together of gt4 drifters for a battle of the best?

Neither me nor any of my mates are able to drift in GT4 (we can on GT3 easily though).

This is so true.

GT3's game engine made it so easy to turn of traction and tweak the suspension and transmission to get the car to drift.

However, in GT4, the game engine was replaced thus made drifting harder to do. I think that most people that drift in GT4 use some kind of steering wheel with pedals, as throttle control is way easier using pedals compared to a standard PS2 controller in terms of drifting.

Awesome vids mate.

Just curious to know, what view and what type of transmission do you use when you drift in GT4?

After playing the game for over a year I still cant manage to drift XD

Hey thanks ^_^

The gearbox is stock, i don't really like the

other gearboxes in the game too drift

because it takes away the realism of the car.

Yeah, with the wheel you have to countersteer

hard and correct even harder.. after a while my

wheel just spins easy now hehe and make sure you

change the wheel settings to mild!

With suspension just dump your car :happy: lol if you get

the steering down pat just do feint drifts and it gets you

heaps sidewayz then just counter n correcct!

Make sure all your aids are on 0.. Btw the s13 is like 308kw

and the ford is like 512 or somthing!

      AC Compressor

      Lots of this, and in older cars, AC is generally controlled by the AC knobs and programming, and the ECU reacts to the load. Modern cars, the ECU controls kicking the AC on/off at the AC systems request so it can be prepared for the engagement/disengagement.

      Sadly, it won't happen. The AC controls in our cars are essentially on-off. Whereas the AC in new stuff is more a case of variable displacement compressors giving infinitely variable output.

      AC Compressor

      I don't think anyone did. But it still made me consider. For me personally it wasn't clear whether the AC experience in my car was shit because it is an old system, or because it wasn't maintained. Looks like it may have just been the latter. I see some more modern setup being sold as an upgrade and I wonder whether it would make it drive like AC in a modern car. Where you don't really hear it or notice it. But maybe that's asking for too much as well.   Haha, stick it in a Nissan Cube and you end up with a driveable fridge I'm not doubting your experience. Just thought it was interesting to hear the AC technician's thoughts on it.

      Guess I should be hunting down one of these big ol ford units then for max flow ....  I've had fresh gas in mine and it was never as cold as it is now . The compressor could have been trash though, like I said I am one example with a bunch of unknowns.

      I don't know if anyone was seriously suggesting a retrofit of an Echo compressor in place of a more-or-less working original comp. You'd have to change the hoses at the bare minimum to do so, and that will definitely add significant cost. I had to get my hoses modded when I did the engine transplant and chose to use the Neo's AC over the even older R32 comp. That was startlingly more expensive than expected for what looks like a simple welding job, and a massive pain in the arse when it turned to have a pinhole leak in the weld too. The Frenchie's kit is for people who have next to nothing of the original system or have more than that but some of it is a bit shit and better off thrown away than salvaged. If you've got 90% of the system, you just patch it up. Mine is currently degassed because it apparently has a big leak somewhere. If I find it is the compressor, I will be looking to take my spare comp to a shop to assess and/or recondition, rather than contemplating a retrofit to anything off-brand.
