Tuning a drift car heavily depends on the specifics of the car's power, weight, and driver preferences, so these are general recommendations for a 180sx with a 4.2 final drive and five gears: 1st Gear: 3.10 2nd Gear: 2.20 3rd Gear: 1.70 4th Gear: 1.30 5th Gear: 1.00 You might find you need to adjust these figures up or down depending on your experience with these settings. Remember, first gear should be a balance where it's not too short that you keep redlining, but not too long that you can't get up to speed quickly. Similarly, 5th gear should allow for high-speed chases without hitting the rev limiter. Do keep in mind that these are starting guidelines and final tune adjustments should be made considering personal driving style, track conditions, and overall feel of the car. Moreover, you'll also need to consider other settings of your car too. These include tire pressures, differentials, suspension, downforce, and others, all tuneable to your specific driving style and the track. Remember that improving your driving technique and understanding of the car's handling will often result in bigger improvements than just adjusting gear ratios. Lastly, take the time to practice and feel comfortable with your car. After all, no amount of tuning can substitute for seat time and experience.
