the pro dritfing circuit does much to glamorise nippon drifting. whack vids. cool 80s jackets. screaming commentators. bizniss.

but drift in its purest sense is about young kids with no money buying old fast cars and racing them through the japanese mountains in the rain.

came across this link the other day. shows the mountains, curve by curve, in "all they heavenlee glowree".

:bahaha:

I fink you might be missing the point.

1. Here is gallery full of pretty pictures.

2. Here is the reason to look at them.

Drifting is as much about skill as it is about big bollocks. these mountains are the roots of the sport and the curves and bends therein are the training grounds for some of the best known Japanese drifting teams.

"do you have big bollocks?

can I touch them?"

wow... that's a very cool site...

i didn't know that the courses and mounts in initial D really existed. that's pretty cool. the c-121 corner at Mt.Usui looks deadly, and so does the irohazaka jump that the mr2 makes at irohazaka. and i'll wont forget watching iD for the first time and seeing that blue sileighty driving along that bridge at Usui.

cool find!

the courses in the cartoon are real. the mountains are real. even the drift action was drawn from analysing dorikin tsuchiya keiichi drift his ae86.

another thing i'd like to clear. the jap boys aren't mostly like takumi. in fact they're more like the takahashi brothers who own rx7s.

i can confirm that different places in japan are owned by different makes of cars (e.g. toyota supra, nissan skyline, etc) who claim ownership over the mountain passes. and at nite, only those boys come out to play. anything under 600bhp cannot be found in the street drags and/or mountain passes at night.

these boys are rich arse people and are living where the cutting edge of aftermarket japanese motorsports conduct their business, which makes their pursuit for the ultimate in machine power and control so much easier, not to mention cheaper.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
