A couple notes / clarifications: 1. Contrary to what I said in this video, power upgrades before the drift tuning upgrade is equipped does in fact make your car faster, so you should be maxing out the engine, transmission, and turbo before applying it. I only recently had the chance to test this extensively, and I feel bad that I said otherwise in this video - if you'd like to find out more about how to upgrade your car before and after applying drift tuning, I just released a video on that here: th-cam.com/video/Cfw9PLJ9Kqg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=StevieWunderKid 2. The drift tuning upgrade does convert these cars to AWD, although the power going to the front wheels is very small (only about 10% or 20%) just to give the car some extra forward bite and so it holds more angle. The AWD also only kicks on at a certain wheel speed. Because of this, the mid-drive speed boost is still possible in these cars (since they're AWD you need to use the handbrake and normal brakes to engage it), but it really isn't needed to do any of the long drifts shown in the video. Hopefully I was able to provide a bit more insight here - as always, thank you guys so much for your support and stay tuned for more drifting content coming very soon!
I noticed that sometimes when people spin out with this car the engine doesn't turn off but usually in other cars when u go over a certain angle the engine automatically turns off, could you please check this? If it is then I wonder what about the car files / handling flags would allow it to do it and if it's a bug or intended thing
I distinctly remember that the Coil brawler has a similar AWD split. it feels mostly like a RWD and can still speedboost with just a tap of the handbrake.
@@lordhelix1999 Never heard of this before, to my knowledge the engine never shuts off during a spinout, regardless of car. Could be a bug, or maybe because the car drops to idle you don't hear it?
I spent 6 years prefecting my skills just for an update to make drifting super easy. These new drifters wont know the struggles of double clutch drifting, spinning out, understeering, all these trials and tribulations
Wow, you really are a drift wiz - not only can you drift really well, your technical articulation is second to none! This is the most erudite video game tutorial I have ever watched :-)
I've been a drifter since before they even added low grips , the seconds they added this I knew it was perfect and I'd be the master of it , so many new kids have a lot to learn , keep going lads
Thanks so much for the tutorial. I just bought the new Benefactor Vorschlaghammer and added the Drift Tuning upgrade and I really needed this beginner tutorial to prevent myself from crashing into walls, random cars, and running into NPCs LMAO
I think the different suspension upgrades really have a more impact on the handling of the cars than you give it credit for. To me almost all of the different suspension types give the cars a different way that they handle, sort of like selecting a suspension setup. Stock has most grip and is quickest, but also the twitchiest, while the lowest one is the most slippery, but can also make the car feel unresponsive. Give it a try!
Maybe I didn't make this clear enough in this first video, but since then I've talked a lot more about it - generally I think the lowest suspension is the most effective for improving handling feel and responsiveness.
Watch initial d bunta scenes, he said he loosened the suspension to allow more gas during drifts, also GTA v is initial D as fuck, Franklin uses Fujiwara zone, has the taillight trail and all, the futon and sultans, the rx7s the sileighties the vinwood touge hills, 😍
@@lunaticfpv17u should try out the other ones. The jester is decent but it's a bit heavy and tends to spin out if not handled correctly. Watched my buddy drift like shit in his while I was drifting perfectly in the Tampa. I drove his for a few seconds and immediately felt how ass heavy it is.
Question for experienced drifters: When doing slow speed figure 8s, how do you prefer to transition from one donut to another? Using the brakes, handbrakes, or neither and just using throttling, not throttling and steering? I'm speaking specifically about when you swing ur back end to go into the opposite rotation on the second obstacle in the figure 8? And more importantly, what's best practice? I assume using neither brakes... along with it being situational?
For snappy transitions like those, you can rely on just throttle control and use the handbrake a bit to help it rotate in the opposite direction. Using the normal brakes isn't recommended as it makes transitions a lot slower.
I can't believe that they released this update right then when I am in Japan and watch Inital D. Guess I will have to see some real life drifting instead!
It's kind of a muscle memory thing from my years drifting with low-grips before this update. I tend to pull back a bit on the right stick just to aim the camera a bit higher over the car to better plan lines and avoid obstacles.
they are all AWD after a certain rpm. you can do cylones in all vehicles which make them all awd. they only have 20% power to front wheels at slow speed which is why the fronts dont spin.
Yeah man, I've got a server linked in the description if you wanna hop in there. Not the most active out there, but we've got a good group to host sessions with.
No, but that's only when the upgrade is applied. It intentionally holds gears for a long time to keep torque consistent, which I think feels pretty good. EDIT: Since these cars are technically converted to AWD, the mid-drive speed boost actually is possible, but you need to use the normal brakes and handbrake for it.
Yeah I'm on Xbox Series X, using a standard controller. However, a lot of the main controls I explained will carry over to PlayStation and probably keyboard too.
Hey, i was wondering if u still reccomend to use drift tuning on cars like the futo gtx now that rockstar changed it, or should i just switch to low grip tires becuase of the update? Thanks in advance
Yeah man, even after the nerf I'd say it's still worth it. Very fun experience with tandems and stuff even with the cars being slower. Low-grip drifting is fun too, so if anything I'd try out both styles to see which you enjoy the most!
I’m so confused I’ve tried upgrading both my futo and my Yosemite and both don’t have the option to add the drift modification, what can I do cause I’m getting pissed it feels like I’m the only one having this problem looked in multiple videos and even tried google there’s just no explanation..
That's because you're using the normal Yosemite, not the Drift Yosemite. They're two separate cars. Same thing with the Futo; only the Futo GTX has access to this new upgrade, not the original Futo.
@@StevieWunderKid Hey, i was wondering if u still reccomend to use drift tuning on cars like the futo gtx now that rockstar changed it, or should i just switch to low grip tires becuase of the update? Thanks in advance
I purchased the drift package and went into my first race, Did HORRIBLY :). I then took it out on the streets to learn a bit better, I felt like Sean in Tokyo drift smashing into every possible car. Said forget this and spent the 50k to take it off.
It takes some practice and muscle memory to consistently aim it above your car and in the direction you're drifting. I talk about this more in my advanced drifting guide.

Does this work on PS4
New drifters won't know the pain of oversteering
You can still buy low grips right?…
No low grips
You can but this is much better
@@BARelement yes
Omm
So glad us drifters got such an amazing update
I spent 6 years prefecting my skills just for an update to make drifting super easy. These new drifters wont know the struggles of double clutch drifting, spinning out, understeering, all these trials and tribulations
Facts! The struggle was real 💀
boohoo
What are you yapping about this is just gta
Wow, you really are a drift wiz - not only can you drift really well, your technical articulation is second to none! This is the most erudite video game tutorial I have ever watched :-)
much agree
So sorry I'm just reading this now - thank you man! I really appreciate that!
Gotta see tandems with the new handling !!
for real
Gonna be ripping some very soon, stay tuned!
@@StevieWunderKidcan I slide with you
Ngl this prolly the best vid I’ve seen on gta drifting
Been waiting for your thoughts on this build.
I've been a drifter since before they even added low grips , the seconds they added this I knew it was perfect and I'd be the master of it , so many new kids have a lot to learn , keep going lads
I agree. I did a public and beat everyone by 70k in 3 laps.
Same here, been doing it for about 10 years now but this was definitely a nice addition. Just generally really fun.
Soo sickkkk, please we need drift meetings 🥵🔥
Have some tandem content out now, go give it a watch if you want!
@@StevieWunderKid I saw it pretty sickk 🔥
As someone who drifts IRL; the feel is quite realistic. Makes me think of the NFSU style events.
no it's not
Lol yeah okay😂
Bluud drifts crazy kart converted little tikes forsure 😮
definitley not.
taking out mail boxes bowing out head gaskets.. those were the days
Thanks so much for the tutorial. I just bought the new Benefactor Vorschlaghammer and added the Drift Tuning upgrade and I really needed this beginner tutorial to prevent myself from crashing into walls, random cars, and running into NPCs LMAO
Happy it was helpful my man, have fun!
Best guide I’ve seen so far
Thank you!
Daily dose of drifting will be even better
So excited to get that series started again!
Didn’t want to buy this car but now I enjoy more then any car I have in gta 🔥
Right? It's so much fun!
Thank you so much for the tutorial love the channel!❤🎉😊
Thanks for the kind words and support man!

My s13 went from low grip tires to an actual drift tune, I really felt my car just direct upgrade. Rare rockstar W
Very rare indeed!
Damn you drift like a god 😮🤩
Don't forget to set the time of day to night for that proper NFS Underground drift vibe
Great video as always but ayo that G35's *_cleeean_*
What i did was i did the customizing, then i did the tuning, then had to re apply all of the custom options
Gained a new subscriber ty for being so detailed fast with the video and showing the controller with active functioning
Anytime man, happy I could help!
i just comeback to play GTAO and this is helpme so much . thanks
Hope you're having fun man, thanks for watching!
You covered it so well I want to go drift my real car! Thanks!
Awesome to hear man, thanks for watching!
Now I can finally drift my lil tofu delivery car 😭
Enjoy it man!
Big tip,
Go into the mountains in the middle of the map perfect environment with decent traffic density and nice turns
Agreed, that's a great spot to practice!
Omfg the drift tampa too? Lessgo
Can’t wait for the tandem meets
Already have hosted and showcased a few on my channel, stay tuned for more in 2024!
Loving this update. Hopefully they'll add more cars to add the drift tune to eventually too
I only drive 1 car in the game, the Jester RR. I was so surprised it had the drift tune available.
@@lunaticfpv17u should try out the other ones. The jester is decent but it's a bit heavy and tends to spin out if not handled correctly. Watched my buddy drift like shit in his while I was drifting perfectly in the Tampa. I drove his for a few seconds and immediately felt how ass heavy it is.

whats the best car for drifting?
I can't believe that they released this update right then when I am in Japan and watch Inital D. Guess I will have to see some real life drifting instead!
Imagine a world where rockstar put all these things in Story Mode before VI comes out.
Only reason I clicked on the vid is because we have the exact same build haha, good vid tho
Thanks for watching man!
Your build is beautiful
Hahaha thank you my man!
I would love the drift upgrade on the sentinel xs or schafter v12
I have sentinel xs with low grip tires. If u are on ps5 you can get it from me
@@bobbyjones5229anyone can get it of the street
Fr those are the two I checked straight away for drift wheels.
Would love it one the Warrener or Sadler, I love drifting on them
my struggles with drifting is camera movement.
It's kind of a muscle memory thing from my years drifting with low-grips before this update. I tend to pull back a bit on the right stick just to aim the camera a bit higher over the car to better plan lines and avoid obstacles.
All I need now is a green 240sx so I can roleplay as my hero, Ryan Cooper
You should do a green RX7 in the style of Kenji.
It looks like the previously applied just stay on the car ❤ so better appling before
Definitely right, that was an oversight on my part - included this info in the pinned comment. Thanks!
Great video thx
Anytime man, thanks for watching!
Dude, you don't mind if i snatch this G35 build from ya do you? Fukin love it 🤣❤
Go right ahead bro, I don't mind!
@@StevieWunderKid appreciate you, just thought I should ask. A build worth the credit ❤️🔥
Is it available for PC version?
Yes, it's on all platforms!
So it's NFS underground 3? Love it
One hell of a driver
no way they actually fixed drifting in this game omg
fully upgrade your vehicle before drift tune, its faster, got stiffer suspension and has better acceleration
Good catch, I mentioned this in the pinned comment because I originally believed what Rockstar was telling us in game - my mistake lol
tandems looking crazyyyyyyy with new update
Dude it's sooooo much fun!
I'm so hyped
Love the update just wish every car wasn’t wasn’t awd after the drift tuning
@dylan_gary6526 not all are AWD. A simple test to prove it is to go up to a wall and full throttle, you will see the powered wheels spin.
they are all AWD after a certain rpm. you can do cylones in all vehicles which make them all awd. they only have 20% power to front wheels at slow speed which is why the fronts dont spin.
True, the AWD system definitely is a bit finnicky, but I'm mostly used to it now.
I love the new Drift livery for the G35
bruh i love this d1gp style livery
It looks so sick man! One of my new favorite builds!
Is there a discord server for tandems or just a drift session in general? None of my friends have a drift car.
Yeah man, I've got a server linked in the description if you wanna hop in there. Not the most active out there, but we've got a good group to host sessions with.
Can we still mid-drive with this physics?
No, but that's only when the upgrade is applied. It intentionally holds gears for a long time to keep torque consistent, which I think feels pretty good.
EDIT: Since these cars are technically converted to AWD, the mid-drive speed boost actually is possible, but you need to use the normal brakes and handbrake for it.
New drifter wont understand how overpowered the banshee 900r with a few bullet holes was
Finally we can drift with the rx7
I like the new addition but the tire sounds got me messed.
I always play gta with the audio slider settings at 1 bar
Bro I can’t even get Donuts right. It feels like I’m driving a bar of soap. I’m not comfortable & think I need to take off the upgrade
So you drifted on pc with keyboard and mouse or any other console?
Hes using a controller
@@rndmguy2004 ohhh hmmm
Yeah I'm on Xbox Series X, using a standard controller. However, a lot of the main controls I explained will carry over to PlayStation and probably keyboard too.
We need the drift tune for the elegy r8 customs
That would be awesome to see!
Hey, i was wondering if u still reccomend to use drift tuning on cars like the futo gtx now that rockstar changed it, or should i just switch to low grip tires becuase of the update? Thanks in advance

New drifting is a W
When I get into the slide and I try to guide the car by handbrake or steer I slow down so fast am I doing something wrong or is it my car
Keep on the power and only tap the handbrake or normal brakes, don't hold them.
Five M update lets goo I guess this is what takeovers will feel like in gta vi
i think mid drive speed boost is patched with this drift upgrade, right?
Only when the upgrade is equipped, yes. It intentionally holds gears for a long time to keep torque consistent, which I think feels pretty good.
@@StevieWunderKid yeah im starting to like it. loving the futo gtx with the upgrade
@@noob_69 Just realized that it converts these cars to AWD, so my original reply isn't as applicable. Summed up everything in the pinned comment!
@@StevieWunderKid oh wow
Running from the cops is a nightmare
Very true lol
OG drifters having to relearn 😢
Not hard to relearn, it’s so much easier now
@@Zyke_iLLest yeah so all the years of training my muscle memory has to get scrapped because it will make you crash..
Can you do drift kit in story? Or online only
Online only unfortunately. But there are still ways to drift in single player too!
is it only for ps5 or ps4 got the drift tuning upgrande too?
It's out on all platforms!
@@StevieWunderKid went to LS customs and it didn't show up (ps4)
In the video I clearly explained that you need to equip it at the LS Car Meet...
Can u imagine if the drifting here was like in car x online? Oh boy! I would lose so much sleep 😂
That would be insane!
@@StevieWunderKid no more heist for sure in a lobby
it will be so awesome when we can use mods to get this in story mode :D using addon spawner and menyoo and such
Hoping that is a thing very soon, been wanting to do some more testing!
Is it still worth to get a low grip tire car or is this unnecessary now?
I'd say so, yeah. Keeps things exciting to have both, because sometimes one style of drifting can get a bit boring.
Is it possible to do donats if I play with keyboard. I tried but cannot understand how to control it.
Yes, many of the drills shown in the video can be done on PC.
bro i spent 10 years getting decent at drifting just for them to do this
I’m so confused I’ve tried upgrading both my futo and my Yosemite and both don’t have the option to add the drift modification, what can I do cause I’m getting pissed it feels like I’m the only one having this problem looked in multiple videos and even tried google there’s just no explanation..

Finally R* tacking something good from fivem servers
HOW TO DRIFT ON PC HELP US🙏🙏
The exact same thing, only apply all that to the keyboard
I put normal tires on my car with drift tune any way I can change it back to drift tune tires?
You can't change the tires when drift tuning is equipped, and whatever is on beforehand won't have any effect.
you can equip low grip wheels
Is there a way let ur camera stop moving around wen the drifting
You can pull back on the right stick a bit to help guide it manually - does take some practice and muscle memory though.
Is drift tuning use any jdm cars?
Should I put lows on it I’m scared too I love sliding in the game so some one lmk
do i need a controller? i play with a keyboard
Is this on Xbox one?
Yes, all platforms!
They finally gave us a bone
I purchased the drift package and went into my first race, Did HORRIBLY :). I then took it out on the streets to learn a bit better, I felt like Sean in Tokyo drift smashing into every possible car. Said forget this and spent the 50k to take it off.
Gotta give it more time than that dude, as I said in the video, it does take quite a lot of practice. Sounds like you gave up waaaaay too early lol
This totally sucks putting slidey tires back on lmao
What if I remove the upgrade and then wanna get it back, will I have to pay 200k again?
Yes, it will cost $200K to re-apply the tuning.
What about the tires with low grip? Should we add them for our drift car?
the game dont give you a chance to do it
if you drift tuned your car, the low grip tires are blocked
Whats the cheapest car cus im on a budget
do u do a video of ur controller during ur drifts
Yeah, the 2nd part of the guide has a controller camera - th-cam.com/video/nxpk9Q8NrdU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=StevieWunderKid
Dirft update is going to be on pc too??
Yes, it's out on all platforms!
how do i get the camera follow me like your camera does while drifting
It takes some practice and muscle memory to consistently aim it above your car and in the direction you're drifting. I talk about this more in my advanced drifting guide.
Do we need bulletproof tires
No, but they can help if you're drifting in freemode!
not me out here using the street model futo😂😂
Different strokes for different folks man, OG Futo still rips!
If you have tensioner adjustment in your analog go ahead and max that bih out for ultimate thumb strength training thank me later king
Never heard of this, can't imagine it would make a huge difference but I appreciate the tip!
Is this on old gen?
What wheels are those
I wish the clutch seperate from the handbrake like how carx is
The handbrake is kind of combined with the clutch in GTA 5 if that makes sense - definitely a weird feeling but it gets the job done.
