Not sure if this counts, but in a lightly modded (maybe even stock?) stagea with the same/similar awd setup to the R33 GTR, it is quite easy to get the rears to lose traction around a corner, however the front wheels will pull it back into line very quickly.

In my experience it hasn't stepped out very far, but then I wasn't trying to drift either.

And IMO what I have described above is not exactly drifting, or at least not in a big way. The back will step out if you hit boost as you go round the corner but ATTESA will usually do all in its power to correct it.

The R34 AWD system has some improvements over the R33 one, so I really cant comment on the original question exactly.

I would be surprised if an R33 or R34 GTR could actually HOLD a drift for any length of time.

I certainly hope that's the case. :)

That's one of the reasons I'm looking to get a GT-R (not a R34 though). Drifting may be fun and good to show off on a skidpan, but it's not the fastest way around a corner.

The exception is all the usual stuff though... incorrect suspension setup, different/worn tread on rear tires, messing with the g-sensors/computer...

Hi guys, I'm new here.

I know its a silly question, I just wonder does the R34 GT-R can drift without set it to the RWD model? or it needs racing driver skill to do that?

You can drift any car, even front wheel drives. It all comes down to skill.

That said, RWDs (especially front engined RWDs) are the easiest to drift, then 4WDs and FWDs are the hardest.

    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
