Getting Started: Nissan Silvia S14 Drift Setup

 

 

1994 Nissan Silvia S14

Tuning Provided by: BLKJ Takahashi

 

Overview:

 

Car Class: A796
Power: 380 HP
Torque: 349 lb-ft
Weight: 2,154

 

Description:

 

Although this tuning set-up for the 1994 Nissan Silvia S14 creates a car that is very stable while sideways, you will need to be much more aggressive with the initiation. This Silvia is set-up to naturally understeer, allowing it to achieve maximum speed and angle while drifting.  You may feel like this car does not have enough power to drift, but if you maintain the ideal line, it is capable of drifting almost any corner.  If you are having problems breaking this car loose then make sure to apply large weight transistions at the corner entrance to induce oversteer.
