I am new to the tuning/drifting aspect of Forza. I have drifted some since Forza 5 but usually just downloaded a bunch of community setups and found one I liked.
I am trying to work on 2 cars atm and trying to learn on the way
I have a 1997 Skyline and a 240sx I am trying to make work well for me.
My main problem is low angle drifting. I can’t seem to drift a low angle for very long unless I entered with a lot of speed or are flooring the throttle where I don’t have much control. and even then I cant do it for long or can control it.
What happens with the 240 is I enter the drift but I snap back to straight and understeer.
I can drift better in the Skyline but can’t hold a low angle.
I have fiddled and searched around and tried to fix it but I can’t seem to find a solution.
Thanks.
240sx:
624 hp
407 LB-FT
Skyline:
594 hp
478 LB-FT
If I need to add anything else please let me know.
[NOTE: This assumes you’ve correctly chosen upgrades]
Lower your Rear Spring Rate, (Front should be higher than Rear)
Ensure your tires are at Temp (32F) mid-drift, ( 27, 24 is usually good)
Confirm your Camber. (-3.5, -0.5 is usually good)
Toe. (0.5 is a good starting point, work your way up until good, Keep rear at 0 until your good with everything else)
Caster settings are adequate for drifting. (Caster should be set @ 7)
Confirm your ride height is not all the way down. (Front slightly higher than Rear)
Confirm DIFF settings are drift approved. (85, 85 is usually good)
So these one at a time, drift a few laps, then make changes if necessary.
Also, Gearing is crucial to being successful, but is a car to car basis.
Use this as a starting point, develop your own style, and have fun.
Use everything the above said and make sure you use race everything on handling and drivetrain. For tires, it depends on the power and preference. I like to use sport tires with 235 front and 265-275 rear with 18-20" wheels. But again, with wheels it is all about what works for you so just experiment with it.
