"original" parts from tuning houses are good, esp the original suspension upgrades, as they are very stiff. and don't require alot of setup for drift.... ohh yeah, and turn of ASM & TC. Also if you want a fast dori racer then the "original" or stage 5 turbo is good as it has a bucket load of low RPM pulling power.

TCS and ASM should be switched off at all times anyway

whats so bad about playing with it on?

it's not that it's bad, but the cars feel more responsive and are considerably quicker with ASM & TC off, has a much more realistic feel to it.

it's also heaps more fun being able pitch your car sideways into a corner... :devil1:

Save your replay then play it in replay theatre, press select while its playing to take pics. Or just do a photo drive.

Thanks VIPERGTSR01 I'll give it a go. Should produce some interesting pictures considering my demented driving style ;)

I hate it with a passion, I drive much faster with it off.

If come on to the corner with abit of weight shift to counter some understeer the assists go off throttle and cause me to slow down drastically. The only time ive used assists on purpose is with my Nissan R92CP on Hong Kong track because of the crazy lag and then wheel spin behaviour of the Nissan at Hong Kongs low speed corners, even then I only put TCS on 2 and the rest is still off.

my friend just bought hks d1 s15.  

car is next to impossible to drift. lag lag lag boost peak. thing either spins or drives straight into a wall. spins wheels in 4th gear etc.

any one know how to get it right?

Ive spent a bit of time working on it. You have to put good tyres on it and play around with the gear ratios. Ie make them bigger. I cant drift with full power on you tap the throttle quickly should be able to hold drift without spinning out. How do you start your entry i cant feint drift very well with it only handbrake entry. But how good does it look :rofl: .

The best car to drift on GT4 is the Mazda Falken RX-7 D1GP, don't touch any settings to it just put some NOS for that extra kick when need it in the middle of a drift and maybe upgrade the turbo, the rest just comes naturally with this car. give it a go when you get the hang of it with this car you dont want to drive anything else.

Same thing happened to me at the start....Bought the BLITz and HKS D1 cars and couldn't drift them at all!

First thing to do obviously is turn all the driving aids off...

Then change the tyres to either normal "ecomomy" or normal "comfort"depending on what power the car is making ... Doing this really helps alot making sliding more predictable and easier, though you may have to change ur style a bit.

Also playing with the suspension can help if you get it right..... Try starting with upping the stabilizers to 5 each, camber at least 2.5 and 1.5 front/rear respectively, then work on the spring rates from there.

I found the HKS s15 impossible to drift at first, but with a power up (phat turbo) it was allright, but still easier in my road s15, but when i was actually racing it for fun one day, I decided to put on traction control (just to level 1) so I wouldn't just sit there and spin wheels and it drifted every corner perfectly. Give it a go, just remember, big turbo, no assistance except for TC on level 1. Works a charm ;)

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
