Gt4 Drift

Yeah, he's talking about the white Blitz R34 4 door, that & the HKS silvia are the D1 cars. They are easy to drift straight away, better after some personal tuning.

But in this game you can't "really" drift, once you hit opposite lock the car snaps back the other way & you lose it. It is a racing game, but everyone loves to drift. :D

Apart from that, take any decent rwd car onto Tsukuba wet, it's a good starting point & a good challenge to hold it, as it dosen't snap back on you. I have some good drift pictures I've taken, but nothing to transer them to my pc. :P

lol i can link some corners

don't turn too much on 1st corner keep the line in the centre if u go too wide you slide on the grass which can be good or bad or if you go too close to the apex you ll spin out.

lowering the gear and holding handbrake helps...I could even drift the 89 GTR lol shame i cant upload pictures but.

for suspension set-ups go to www.gamefaqs.com

drifting is possible you just have to have your set up right. cars that i have found the best are sileighty, 4 door blitz r34, and supra. having traction control and stability control on setting 1, sticky tyres, and using nos to loose rear traction are things that make the car better to drift. using the handbrake is difficult as it is hard to keep the revs up.

GT3 is far beta for drifting, try the r32 gtst an the rx7 series 4 or 5 i think, they are the best cars to drift in, u can drift in GT4 i do all the time it just takes alot of practise an again use the rx7 or 32 even the s2000 i can get to drift. i'll put sum pics up if u can tell me how to gem em off my ps2.

ossie_21, it's not easy to drift in GT4 but it is possible.....

check out some of the GT4 videos posted here. Some of these guys are insane.

I can manage to link a few corners but not really more than 3 or 4 before I come unstuck. It doesn’t really matter what car you choose as long as it's a rear wheeler and the power and suspension is adjusted appropriately.

My preferred choice of weapon is usually the series 6 Bathurst RX7, Gallant VR-4 or my BMW M5. The Beemer is a big lard so it's easy to loose it around a corner as there is just a little to much weight to throw around.

HR32_GTS-T, you need a USB flash card to get the pics, simply plug it into the PS2 copy the photos (in the "home" section of GT4 mode, and then plug into PC and copy them over.... they are saved in JPEG format.

here is a shot of my Beemer...

here's a "little" video i came across (81megs), but it shows exactly how drifting can be done. This is by far the most impressive video i've seen. This was not done by me unfortunatly.... but it's really worth the download and if your like me... it will inspire you to try drifting in game again....

in gt3 you cant get full lock steering unless you are rolling at like walking pace so how do peopl drift effectively? in gt4 its probably the same otherwise you would have to have a feather touch on the joystick. unless youve got the driving force pro steering wheel :P

I found an odd and different car for hanging the tail. Its one of the alpine-renaults in the french section. Its the later model of the 2.

If you can get that thing to go straight you are doing really well.

It just doesnt have the power to back it up.

Give it a go anyway, its kinda funn.y

    • Right.  I'll try my best at a concise "bring you up to speed" on stuff that may be missing here - obviously open to questions or further input from others as relevant. Here's a datalog from a responsive turbo setup with electronic boost control being used a bit, to keep it simple I've marked 3 points of interest.  All of these charts are on the same time scale on the X-axis, so you can reference what engine rpm is doing in the top graph, boost and EMAP (exhaust backpressure) in the second graph, and turbo rpm in the bottom graph. A) The turbo gets it's power from exhaust gas, and pumping air takes work.  As a result you can't just spin a turbo with a fixed amount of exhaust energy and expect it to keep spooling - the bigger the turbo (ie, the more air it can push) the more exhaust energy you need to drive it.   The most obvious ways of getting more exhaust energy are by adding displacement, adding boost, or adding rpm - but as you add any of these the turbo also needs to do a bit more work so there is a big balance of these things needed to even get to your target boost and sometimes that's not even possible. What you can see in step "A" is that there isn't enough engine rpm or boost to reach the level we want, so this is where "lag" is.  The dyno run continues and rpm increases, which gives enough energy to increase boost, which helps spool  the turbine speed up even more - so you can see that the rate that the boost (and turbo speed) are starting to ramp up faster than the engine rpm is, so turbo is really starting to wake up as the graph gets closer to point B....   B) At this point we've been able to reach the boost that is actually desired at this point.   To stop the boost from going further than this the wastegate will open and bypass gas past the turbine, meaning it doesn't continue accelerating at the point it was before but instead carry on at a more progressive rate which matches what the engine needs.   The wastegate will have a spring in it which is rated to a specific pressure where it will start bypassing, but electronic boost control (managed by the ECU) can adjust how much pressure the spring sees in order to allow some tunability on how much boost the wastegate actually sees, and therefore how much exhaust it bypasses.   The tune in this case stops boost from ramping up HARD at around 21-22psi just before 4000rpm, then as the rpm continue it allows boost to continue up to around 25psi higher in the rpm.   You can see the turbo speed fairly steadily increases through the rpm to ensure it's keeping up with the increasing airflow demand due to the engine speed being higher and boost being pretty steady.   If the boost dropped off after a point then you may see the turbo speed level off or even drop.   C) You can see that despite the boost pressure staying pretty flat here, the exhaust pressure is steadily increasing and at this stage has overtaken boost pressure.   This isn't unusual, and is largely as a result of the increasing energy needed by the turbo to pump more and more air to suit the needs of the engine as it revs out further.   There are a bunch of variables in regards to how much back pressure there will be on a given turbo etc, but its one of the factors we manage when sizing and tuning a turbo setup.   When exhaust back pressure starts exceeding boost pressure you will eventually start seeing signs that the turbo is running out, the engine gets less keen to make more power and it gets harder to raise boost further. In this case it's a fairly acceptable compromise for the power level (around 630kw on a 3litre engine with full boost by 4000rpm), but you'd not want to push it a lot harder than this.  The maximum speed rated for the compressor wheel on this setup is around 125,000rpm so you can see its starting to get close on that side as well - I feel like this kind of illustrates some of the turbo related things we both decide on how far to push, and are also limited to how far we can push depending on the parts combination. Hope this helps more than it confuses things  
    • For that influx of Spammers we had I made no pic posting and no PM's for first ten posts. This is group based and I've manually updated @Beanie to the Members group which will open up the images and PM's. 
    • Thx for the reassuring reply. I’ve got above legal clearance  going in for roadworthy Friday… fingers crossed it’s keeping me awake  bloody nanny state 
    • I was actually going to try and dig out a datalog with turbine speed and EMAP haha
    • Wait until @Lithium posts a compressor map and tries to explain what's going on. There is a strong possibility that the OP lives in a digital world and is not comfortable with analogue machines. A turbo is just about as analogue as it gets, with plenty of non-linear behaviours added in on top. Most of us who think we know how they work are actually only getting by on 2nd and 3rd order mental models that abstract away from the actual physics and bring it back to the sort of kindergarten level concepts we can hold in our heads. This is important when you need to hold 10 such concepts in your head at the same time. You need to reduce the complexity of the individual concepts to allow them to be simultaneously held and manipulated. Too much complexity in the base models makes it very difficult to make them work with each other mentally.
