Quite possibly the coolest thing I have ever done. I have had more fun in the last hour than I have in any arcade game ever. The rig works really well with grip driving too but dorifto is amazing!! Yes I normally drive in "incar" view but for the sake of the photo goodness, I chose the behind view. I swear my girlfriend is gonna leave me hahahahah.

the light of day will not been seen for weeks.

hahaha that's awesome. i got the new 900 degree wheel, and i've been wanting to set up something like that. maybe once i get some new seats i'll use my s13 seats for that. love the helmet/gloves too..adds to the realism.

apricot hill is a great track to learn how to drift on in gt3.

nothing can beat one continuous drift through corner one and two then linking it up to three.

11-27-2004, 02:35 PM
trial mountain is the best course. there are a couple small turns to link up and one long high speed corner

could you guys please put up your suspension set-ups for drifting because i can get my car into a drift but i have trouble keeping it in a drift during the entire corner. so i take it that it must be my suspension set-up so any input would be greatly appreciated.
PS: i use the s13 240sx

they are real simple to make. hell, before gt3 came out i made a whole miniature(sp) car out of wood to sit in. now i am just hoping that the gt4 wheel has the same mounting structure or i will have to redo the dash to keep the steering wheel in the perfect spot.

11-28-2004, 01:23 PM
believe me, it's mine. As for dimensions.... build it to suit yourself, thats what we did. we layed down a rectangle frame, welded it together, then welded the seat rails directly to that, then held the wheel about where it felt right and took measurements from the end of the rig to that distance, welded an upright stick, then the post for the wheel to mount on. Then mounted the pedals, all told it took about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish. Using 2 sticks of 1" square tubing, a welder, a mitre saw, some sheet aluminum and a rivet gun, and last but not least, velcro for the pedals.

mr_240sx
11-28-2004, 01:27 PM
wow, that makes me want to build one for when i drift in GT3 during the winter. I hope it makes the winter go by quicker as my car is stored during the winter months. :cry:

PSI240SX
11-28-2004, 01:32 PM
As for a good drift setup heres one that workks best for me. Silvia S13: 397hp stage 3 turbo and all supporting mods. Tires: Super Soft F, Simulation R. Suspension: 12.2 kg F 10.2 kg R, 89mm front and rear height. Shocks 7, 8 then 6,7. Camber: 5.0 F 0.0 R. Tow: -1.0 F, 0 R. Sway bars 5 F, 2 R. LSD 40, 40, and 40.

You can use that basis for all drift cars as well. The sim tires will spin so easy its pathetic, you really need to get used to partial throttle drifting, and that is made so much easier with the wheel. You will spin a lot at first but once you master it you will be sliding entire tracks, garunteed.

DoriftoSlut
11-28-2004, 02:38 PM
You guys are weak. How SLOW must that car be....

Its all about using the most realistic setup you can. I use Sports tires or Normal tires most of the time. I also like turning GT cars into drift cars. Like the RX7 LM... i think i have it at like 600 hp and it rolls on Sports tires. Camber for me is always -2.5 and -1.5.

Anywyas, i guess everyone is different, but i hate "drift" setups where it just stays sideways for a long ass time going 20mph. WTF. Should be like... 100mph, its GT3 damnit!

brandon
So....

I have seen 500HP CAs before, its just not common, especially here.


For settings, go with real settings. Then tune it from there. The settings online are so rediculous. Just get a 2 way, lower it, put some camber, turn of TCS and ASM, stiffen the springs and your good.

sLiDewAys
11-29-2004, 12:59 AM
i hate using the sr-silvia on gt3.:( feels weak when its not suppose to. anyhow yeah im shure you have seen 500hp silvias. i think www.norrisdesigns.com has one. not shure if its 500hp though lol. anyhow gt3 drifting is cool to just mess arround on. a couple friends and i get together every once in a while and duke it out on Trial Moutain.

using realistic settings DO kinda get you aquainted for the feel on gt3 drifting but i hardly think 8kg front and 6kg rear will let u slide without body flop:( i use 12kg frnot and 11kh rear, stage 4 turbo, 2way, -2.0 camber rear and -2.2 camber front, front damber(boud and rebound) on max in rear and for the front i just use it 1 notch below for both bound and rebound, sway bars are same, max rear and 1 notch down for the front stabalizer, traction control is on 1 and ASM is off, sports tires all the way arround.......

personal set up, feel free to try and tell me what you think

You can get away with 8/6 its like real life, I have 8/7 it still rolls a bit but its possible. I personally use about 10/8 for S-Chasis cars.

11-30-2004, 05:57 AM
thats weird, i use the 240sx(180sx) and my spring rate is 4/4 and find that its suficient. i havent had time to change those settings yet. so i cant comment on which setting is better as of now.once i try a 10/8 setting which is just like the tanabe sustec pro DD's then i will tell you guys if stiffer is better or not for drifting.

I played with my S13 in GT3 for drift. I'm gonna disagree on using street tires for drift. It works decently, but when I switched to slicks front and rear, the car carried drifts much more controlled and at higher speeds.

I would suggest using the Rcompound tires, not simulation or street tires. Set the suspension/LSD etc, and stick to the good tires. Your drifting will have higher speeds and more control, imo:)

sorry bob, but that answer was incorrect..

tell him what he has one. JACK S**t. HAHAHAAH lamo.

i disagree because its all about driver prefrence. i slide better with my set up. same to all of who you enjoy your personal set up as well. I'd like to state that if u want to slide long in gt3 get use to your OWN setting. jumping settings only fumbles you at total control.

goddamn this thread. i never bought gt3, because i knew i'd play it for hours on end. so i fucking bought it with a controller extension and started with a trueno. no initial D bullshit intended, just a car to start with. all i've done is upgraded front brakes, semi-racing suspension (couldn't cough up for the racing suspension yet D: ), 2 way lsd, sport tires, p&p, stage 2 boost, racing i/e and some volks. my settings are -4.2 camber front and -2 camber rear, slammed all around duh, front sway:4 rear sway:2 iirc, and ummmm, 10/8 rates. goddamnit its fun. every mod does the same thing my car would do in real life.

the only thing i hate about this game, is trying to play with tcs or any traction control offered. even when you're not drifting and just doing cups, its retarded. your 2-way toyota corolla isn't just gonna rape that turn at 70 in real life without pushing out. so yeah, i play without them for the challenge, its really fun.

well, "welcome to 3 years ago" to me.

hahahah last night was the sickest ever!!! I got my friend to bring over his playstation, his GT3, and His Rig and steering wheel!!! We used the I-link cable and turned my living room in to a JGTC simulator battle fest hahahahahaa. For those not familiar with I link, it allows you to link up two systems and battle but without split screen gayness. With a hub you can actually link up 6 PS2's which we have actually done at a bachelor party in ATL about 2 years ago.... talk about bad ass. You can have 6 people racing, or do 5 people racing and one tv can be used as a monitor for an audience to watch the race.

Hey, maybe you can PM me some info on GTP and other GT3 racing. I've never got into the forums because they confuse me too much. All I have to go by is my game, my friends, and the laptimes at racingline.org

I'd really like to race some people that can actually beat me and are consistent. No cockiness intended really, it's just that my friends don't put up a fight :hsdance:

mr_240sx-- there are racing leagues and drifting leagues on the forums, and they somehow race eachother. I haven't done it yet because it confuses me too much on how to race others.

Back it up though!!! The release date is March, which sucks, but....it is being released in Japan on the 28th of December :bowrofl:

I'm getting my swapmagic and GT4 this month!!

if the game doesnt have an online feature, how can they race and drift eachother? I would be interested in finding out more about these drift leagues. I looked at their website and wasnt really able to find out about these so called drift leagues.

they take videos of their best lap and put them up for review of a bunch of judges. then they pick from the two contestants best videos and decide a winner..

they judge on things like "smoke, angle, speed, and so on"

pretty dorky if you ask me..

yeah.. had all golds in everything for about 2 years now. It's much easier if you already had all golds in GT1 and 2 before starting gt3. You pretty much already had the game down.

I just got one of the Driving Force Pro wheels the other day, and it totally transformed the game. TOTALLY AWESOME. Still not as fast as with the dual shock (probably just need more practice), but I would say the fun factor increased a LOT.

you try drifting with 900 degrees yet? it's pretty crazy. lol.

i should've said i drift at gtp, not really FOR gtp. same thing anyway. the forums aren't that hard to navigate, just sign up and snoop around. things arent as active though.

gotta have gt4, damn it!

Yes...but maybe no :tweak: It was said that it was going to have online...then PD said they wanted to bring the game out first and have a seperate on-line version later in the year. The game was suppose to be out on 12/14 but now it has been pushed back to next year. Rumor says online will again be included but not for the Japanese version which is coming out on 12/28.

I was racing last night, and thought I'd post up a laptime I hit on Apricot Hill:

58.208 seconds with my FO94... no cheats, just tuning.

I checked racing-line.org and the fastest confirmed laptime with F1 for Apricot Hill is 58.5 seconds. Looks like I should submit it since I saved the replay on my card :eek3d:

Remember that racing-line has a bunch of stupid fast laptimes that were done with the GT cheats. All the confirmed laptimes have a green checkmark next to them, and most all of the green checkmark laptimes are legit times with no cheats.

Official word is no online feature, but they might make a addon (similar to Dynasty warriors and Dynasty Warriors Xtreme addon) Seems like Polyphonic spent more time on the Auto-Driver mode. I guess some people were tired of doing the endurance races just to get the F1 cars in GT3 and sent mass e-mail complaints.

As for me, I'm drifting on Cote D'azur with a little gymkhana techniques also Grand Valley and Trial Mountain. Cote De Azur is tight for the reason with the lil 180-190 turn and a steep straight then 2 90 degree rights back to back. I usually lock up the front, spin the rears halfway then let the car go crazy angled almost horizontal down the steep straight to hit the 90 degrees. Mainly using an FD rx7 with about 400 ps, and a S14 with about 300hp. If anyone wants the settings I have and parts list just shoot me a PM or e-mail. I kinda want to see or know how my setup feels to other "drivers" hehe.

Anyone read info about Forza Motorsports for Xbox? It will feature drifting as a form of race on there WITH online mode. Good things I hear- Online mode with talk, car damage physics (chassis and suspension damage). Bad things- Being able to apply over 70 (iirc) spots on the car with vinyl/decals..........

There's supposed to be an online expansion for GT4. It seems to be called B-Spec.

By the way, I'm on GTP, name's Takumi Fujiwara. (I know, I know, I was, 14, maybe 15 when I registered, and thought naming myself after an Initial D character was a really cool idea....)

Now that one's way more affordable :) I need to make something like the thread starter, it gets old just sitting on your couch and playing. I could even put my helmet on, lol.
