mad drifting!

[Bbandit]

i dont know if you guys have seen this before or not...
i just want to share...

i know its not real but try downloading some GT3 drift videos..
even though its not real.. it took skills to pull off those drifts..
i cant even drift as clean as they do on GT3
gran turismo drifting (http://www.gtplanet.net/article25.html)

How come I always run into walls....:p

[s13driver]

those are very interesting videos, i didn't know there were of those GT3 drift videos, i only got some of it. i can only do like maybe 1/4 of what they can do.. maybe because i m using a controller and driving auto ?? how well you guys drift in that game ??;)

[Bbandit]

my chances of doing a complete and clean drift is still 75 %
i do spun out a couple of times..
but then again.. im using a logitech steering wheel with force feedback and i always use manuals...
pretty fun though..
i finished GT3 and i have less interest playing GT3, now waiting for newer GT (whenever it comes out)

yes those videos are nice watched the first two didn't see the 180sx type x or the ae86 or the FC in it. I can pull of a clean drift 50% of the time. I use a controller it is difficult. Bbandit what technique do you use to initiate the drift. I use e brake, but i heard it wasn't as good compared to some other ways

[Bbandit]

i use steering wheel (makes it a lot easier i think)
what i do is quite simple...
for example... im approaching a sharp left turn..
what i do is press the brake pedal.. and when the time is right... i bank the steering wheel to the left as quickly as possible.. and then i press the gas pedal hard.. moments later i counter steer while pumping the gas pedal(to avoid spin out)..
i keep adjusting my line by finding the right angle of counter steer... after that.. just another straightaway...
my fav car is my 300hp black FC with mesh wheel.. i think its a good drift car.. not to fast.. not to slow.. enough power to still have control over the car

LMAO!!... exactly what I was thinking.

I just recorded 3 of my drifts in GT3 with my digital camera (just got it, yay) but I need a place to host.

Anyone have a server or any ideas for a site?

The videos are each under 3 Megs (I can only record 20 seconds at a time plus there's no sound, grr).

[Kareem]

Here's one of them.

[Kareem]

Thank you Bbandit.

Alright, I figured out how to get the files to load right so here you all are. They're all 1.5 MB.

If they don't work which I'm pretty sure that they won't, just copy and paste the link.

I'll probably make some more tomorrow.

Enjoy.:D

[Kareem]

Same thing as before.

Enjoy. Oh yeah, sorry about the crappy quality and lack of sound.

It's just a digital camera not a digital video camera. I wish I had one, all I'd do is record dumb sh*t.:D

[revat619]

A bit of time and patience. Couple of things I've learnt along the way:

If you ever want to drift or just make the tires spin turn TCM and ASM off.

Don't get to much horsepower unless you know how to use it.

Apparently Stage 3 Weight reduction is too much (I like to use Stage 1).

Read what the information says. ie. shock absorbers, camber, toe, etc...

If you buy a Skyline and you want it to take turns better, never install the VCD (it's AWD is perfectly fine).

You gotta watch initial D and learn how to drive like them... after that, video games are a piece of cake... ;) lol :D

edit: I hope nobody thinks im serious.

man that is sweet, wish I wasnt such a bum I could probably buy a PS2 http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/cwm/3dlil/sad.gif

Here's a couple more videos.

Note: You still might have to copy and paste the link but they do work. If that doesn't work, get rid of the "http://" when it opens in a new window.

[whateverjames]

here's a video I made of a Nissan Z Concept (350Z). 601 horsepower, and I actually set this car up to grip and not drift. Just take off the TCM and ASM and put on the normal tires and it's a different story :p

Nice video Big Body LX, a fine choice for the vehicule. Also, I'm jealous of the fact that your video has sound and actually is good quality. What program did you use?

I use my ATI TV Wonder VE capture card on my computer (40 bucks at best buy when I bought it) to capture the video then use Windows media encoder (free from their site) to encode it to what you see there.... it reduces the quality but check out that file size!
