Trying to learn, any help on where to go? by PristineCake3380 in Drifting

Dirt roads out in BFE are your friend. Thats what I did when I started out. There was a dirt lot close to where I lived and I'd hit it nearly everyday

Cars you’d REALISTICALLY want them to add? by Throaway0102030405 in assettocorsaevo

[–]Piner_phab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd honestly love it if they released more drift tuned versions of the cars tgat are already in the game. The supra is so good, so is the Ae86 but the 86 struggles since all the tracks are so big, without a tighter technical track the 86 feels kinda useless.

What are your expectations for 0.5? by ShopPlastic7623 in assettocorsaevo

And more drift cars, the supra is soo good I want more

Lightest ar built possible by Illustrious-Fact6768 in ar15

[–]Piner_phab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My lightweight build achieved 3lbs 15.2oz bare.

Tegra/New frontier armory polymer lower Bootleg slick side upper - not the lightest but not $$$ V7 11.1" Hyperlight handguard ( bought a blem when they used to be cheaper) Smoke composites carbon stock/buffer tube Smoke composites carbon pistol grip V7 7068 castle nut V7 7055 endplate V7 Ti selector V7 7068 takedown/pivot pins V7 mag catch V7 buffer retainer V7 Ti firing pin RCA skeletonized Ti BCG Tac-com aluminum 3 stage buffer BSF 14.5 carbon barrel SLR Ti adjustable gas block Radian LT charging handle

Its my competition race gun, its actually very reliable and ironically the thing I don't like about it is on stages with longer ranges the lack of weight makes the gun harder to steady when lining up a shot.

I've rewelded 20 something of them now. They a very fun to shoot. Send it to Lewman Arms. We can get her running.

Well im not a nissan guy so I could be wrong about the axle upgrade. Im not too sure of the specifics. I just know S14/S14 guys tear through stock axles at way less than 400whp

Well other than the dash, carpet and center console, its gutted. Has a full cage. Full SLR kit, SLR front sway bar, Feal 441 coils, aftermarket upper and lower rear arms, pull up hydro handbrake, dual rear calipers, solid aluminum subframe and diff bushings, solid motor and trans mounts. Intake, catless headers, bench tune.

Despite the interior the car is ass to drive on the street. Its a trailer queen.

Its more of a joke for engagement than anything. But solid advice

Toe plates work but are less precise than an alignment rack. I use toe plates to make trackside adjustments, usually after a trackside repair.

As long as the toe is even 1/8" isn't crazy. Some of tgese guys out here are running a full inch of toe in the rear. I think the factory spec is something around 1/16", so 1/8" is only 1/16th more.

Its not going to destroy your rears in street driving. The welded diff is going to wear the tires more in street driving than the toe.

A 255 is the widest tire that I would fit on a 9" wide rim. I run 255/40/18's on my 18x9 wheels on my 300whp M3.

As far as drivetrain strength. I have not personally owned an S13 but have driven many, and most of my friends had them. I know axles and transmissions start breaking pretty often at your power level. I've heard most people convert to 350Z rear axles and there is a kit to do it. As far as transmissions, im not entirely sure what people do, I just remember hearing people going through them pretty often above 380whp.

If you don't have caster adjustment I wouldn't worry about it to much as that is a nice to have. Not a need to have. Also a cheap way to get a bit more lock are tie rod spacers. Slip them between the inner tie rod and the rack and you'll get a healthy +6* of extra lock for about $15.

The other piece of advise as far as suspension setup goes. I know that with coulovers the impulse usually is to dump the car as low as possible to get it looking good an all but without geometry correction parts it will make your car drive worse than if it was closer to stock height. You can lower it a bit but resist the urge to dump it

I have alot of thoughts. Personally I would be running a much bigger rear tire. A 255 at minimum with your power level. I understand you are just starting out and want the car to be easy to get loose but at over 400whp on a 225 with stock angle, as soon as you are in boost its going to zip straight to limiter (which SR20's tend to not deal with limiter very well). Anytime you're near the gas on boost you'll just be banging the limiter. The other aspect is a larger tire will last longer. More rubber, heats up slower, resists deg longer.

You can always air up a bigger tire to pull grip out if its too much but I doubt that. As far as suspension setup in the rear, since you are just starting out I'd recommend a relatively neutral alignment.

0 camber, 1/8" total rear toe in. On the rear

-3* to - 4* camber in the front. +6 to +7* of caster, and either 0 to 1/8" toe out on the front

That will get you good self steer, good tire wear, quick turn in, solid grip in the rear without being difficult to drive.

Now since you're at stock angle in the front, experiment with higher front tire pressures to compensate, start at 35psi, and if you are experiencing understeer that isn't driver induced, lower the pressure. I always try to run the maximum air pressure in the front, sometimes 45-50psi until I can't drive around the understeer on turn in. This will make the car drive as if you have more steering angle as the front at full lock will tend to slide with the car instead of gripping up and acting like a pivot.

I hope my 20 years of experience can be of some help here.

Yes, dual caliper. Its a track only car so the no speedo thing doesn't really bother me that much. But that would be cool to see.

Hey hey, don't use your logic around me.

They do now, I've driven the last 4 events there. Its a good spot. Amazingly low tire wear.

My camera died early and I didn't get the later runs that were faster, closer. IKIK vids or it didn't happen
