Drifting Mod Chip available?
 

Just curious if there is such a drifting mod chip because of what I saw a Nissan 370Z do the other day.

I saw the Z driver perfectly slide the rear around a left turn in front of me, no smoking tires, just barely enough wheel spin to initiate the "casual looking" rear slide for the entire turn. I gave him a thumbs up as he slid past in front of me going the other direction. I'm jealous :(

It got me thinking....is there a TCS mod out there to perform controlled, modest slides?

lol wut?

Sounds like driver mod, how is a chip going to countersteer for you?

Or you could just not drive like a fucking asshole in public.

You need the driver mod chip for your brain

I heard you can watch Keiichi Tsuchiya video's Clockwork Orange style and get the same effect.

Sounds like the guy just knew how to drive

Was thinking TCS could control right amount of wheel over spin to allow the rear to move out...counter steering obviously by driver.

Right now with TCS on I can get the rear to move out easily (with 300hp) but it catches the slide by cutting power.

Yeah, they call this TCS setting "Off" :D

Should be called TS (traction system) instead of TCS because there is no control over the amount of wheel spin you want.

For those doubting this could ever be done...it already has been done on a smaller scale. "Drifting" RC cars have been around for over a decade now.

While I would not want my steering input overridden as it is on the RC's, the technology for controlling the wheel spin is already there.

Track mode on the facelift cars will let you slide a bit more, but it won't help you slide. It just won't cut you so early and aggressively.

A proper drift mode would rely on the ESP (maybe?) and torque vectoring, the latter of which these cars don't have.

My bad. RC and full size car totally the same thing.

Brags about 300 HP.

Hasn't read the owner's manual.

Guess I better find my manual.

To be fair, Ducati has electronic slide and wheelie control on it's bikes, seems like it wouldn't be hard to do electronic drifting aids in a car.

:iono:

Different mechanisms at play. Ducati is probably using a gyro to determine pitch and yaw and allowing some leeway as to what angle it will interfere. Similar to what RC cars are probably doing like with what he is talking about. As far as I am aware most cars are just using wheel speed sensors in conjunction with ABS to just control wheelspin or slip. There are far better TCS systems that are out there that can be left on and allow far more leeway and assistance without being as intrusive than the twins. But we all know how intrusive the TCS is on these cars, especially pre facelift.

What if OP goes and starts doing skid pad days and learns to drift, comes back and shows us up with some sick video. Would be a better love story then twilight.

Unacceptable. I demand that toyobaru implement the same level of electronic sophistication seen on a motorcycle that retails for the same dollar amount as our entire cars damnit!

:mad0260:

They put it on a Mclaren not sure why we did not get it?

We all know Google knows all. No excuses.

I want a chip where people move out of the left lane…

They will never stick drift technology in a 30k car.

Drift chip? You say posi-traction too? lol

All these "drift modes" are total bullshit and are usually present on a poorly setup AWD cars. A properly setup AWD car will drift if you want it to and will steer where you want it to. It doesn't need any "special" modes. Provided you know what you're doing. Having such bullshit modes on a RWD chassis is a nonsense.

Turn. That. Crap. Off.

in4lulz.

I too usually enroll in courses meant to teach me something, while expecting the work to be done so I don't have to learn.

I just use the long press on the TCS. Drift mode activated. :iono:

Harder/narrower tires also help.

Heck, back in the day, we used to do that all the time, with less than 85 HP.

Just drive your car with bald tires down a gravel road - :D

2 vs 4 wheels.

Now if we're talking quad motor EV....

Can you elaborate please?

About AWD cars? I'm talking about EVOs and STIs for example. They don't have special "drift buttons" and can go sideways on throttle without issues.

Evos and STIs have a hard tendency to plow on throttle. You can chuck them into a corner sideways, but they won't be power-overing without some specific work.

"drift modes" specifically are programmed to promote rotation to mitigate that on-throttle plow.

This one is a very rare Evo VI TME RS, which doesn't have ACD, let alone AYC, yet it goes sideways on throttle:

One car is not even close to stock. Both are initiating with trailing or feinting. Neither are examples of power-over.

Even RWD cars understeer sometimes if you just power over.

I saw videos with Focus RS and GR Yaris attemp "drifting" and they show way more understeer than Evos.

Btw, that white Evo had just catless turboback and a tune, and EVO9 head, if I remember correctly. Suspension was stock. Nothing special, sub 400hp at the crank.

Again, both of these cars are initiating slides with weight transfer, not a power-over.

These modern AWD cars with drift modes can initiate with just a power-over.

I tried to find a good example video with GR Yaris where it initiates with just throttle, but couldn't find one.

That's because it doesn't have a drift mode, unlike some other AWD vehicles.

That's exactly how I started hooning. ...when I was 9.

sure, but you don't have to worry about high sides in a car. :iono:

Ah, confused it with "sport mode" (30:70).

So that leaves A45 AMG and Golf R Mk8 then.

Well, in that case, if I ever wanted a modern AWD car, I'd pick M240i xdrive or 340 one. They're even more fun and don't need a specific mode to enjoy them.

THIS!!!!

And this!!!!
