hi i own a silvia s13 with a rb28det stroker motor in it and have been competing up north in time attack and hill climb the car is currently pushing 438kw is this to much for drift ?
should i just buy another car and set it up for drift?
as im new to drift and am used to the idea of grip any help would be great.

I drift my Gemini with a 1UZ with twin GT35r's on it. Goes alright.

Short anwser is no.

If your good enough to steer you can use that power.

However having that much power in an unbalanced chassis; RB26 puts additional weight over the front is going to make learning tricky.

Ideally if you can keep your chassis; as I assume it has all the suspension adjustments, brakes, LSD etc and put an SR20 back into it you'll find it will be a lot easier to get into it.

The two hardest things generally for grip racers to over come when they transition to drifting is their instinctive tendency to want to 'correct' the car once the tail end comes out and their inability to let the steering wheel spin freely to unwind opposite lock.

Best idea is to go study some video's or jump in with an experienced drifter to see the differences.

im sick of people thinking you need power to drift. its all about how good a driver you are, suspension mods and a balanced car. not power figures.

youve been using it for time attacks? so you can steer? so why did you post this thread?

oi dick he was asking if its to much power.

Hmm does everyone beleive this girl has a s13 with that much power ??

If you have a powerful car and race it in circut form you would know how it handles.. And everyone in modded s13 owner has had it sideways so im sure if all what you stated wasis true than you would have a fair idea if your car is suited to drifting...

oi dick, hes been driving it in hill climbs and time attack.

Its a she and hill climbs and time attacks have corners. So she should know how her car takes corners and go from there...

my bad. it was for the brainic who posted above you..

since you already have a built car i guess give it a go if it isn't too hard then keep with that car otherwise look at getting another

there are many nuts cars in japan with big hp and they drift..if you run time attacks and hill climbs you should have a fair bit of knowledge about ur car and its charatoristics

"im sick of people thinking you need power to drift."
he was asking if he has to much power?

reading the thread always helps a bit.

seems like school has gotten rid of reading as a required skill at least when it comes to boostcruising people

What boost are you running? It's not really hard to lower the boost....

I'm suprised you even have the slightest bit of traction with that much power!!! sounds like a scary ride...

y'all postin in a troll thread

Dude, what the fuck man. You must be heller trollin' askin if 460 kay dubbyas is enough for drift?

get your hand off your micro dick brostopher and gtfo here.
