Thay had a quick segment on drifting (crappy QLD head of police was on) basically saying she was concerned about the movie tokyo drift (no she had not seen it). What a crock anyway, they showed a fair bit of drifting including a quick segment providing a few A31 sliding which was cool.

Anyway was good to see, but pissed about the tone of the segment.

this always happens when movies like this come out. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon (for & against) and the industry becomes shit until people lose interest. :thumbsup:

i wanna see the segment.

the story wasn't entirely negative, Kochie gave an unbias comment, but agreed that the Qld police chick came across as a staunch monarchist "it's about those import things, asian made they are, bad, negative"

as many of you have probably seen, Boaty from DA/NS.com has left a link in a post about this segment. leave a post on there, help promote the notion that the drift community is not a bunch of hoons and wants to use race tracks to practice our hobby.

I didnt personally see the segment. I have read a heap of different posts on it tho. The problem i see with such a movie is we are going to get a heap of ricers trying to drift in stupid spots i mean isnt there somewhere in the movie showing guys drifting in car park? How many of you can see young guys drifting in such spots?

Spot on. There will be idiots that get reved up (pardon the pun) when leaving the moive. There were with the last two, so it only makes sense it will happen with this one.

Dont do it yourself and get over it.

The real problem with this movie is when the media start singling out every 16.5 year old weener thinking they are the new Kazama when they write off their mums commodore, and blame it on the 'Drift Scene' :P

Dunno if this makes sense to the topic.. Just my rant for this Americanised pos movie. Stupid Americans

Same with stuff being blamed on the drag scene. But that does ok!

Thing is dude, and you really cant deny it, a bloody lot of drifters do there stupid stuff (practice) on the street (yes I know industrial estates 1am, nothing is about doesnt disturb anyone, but its still a public road). Drifters have created their own image.

I agree drifters have made there own image but until now we have stayed underground. I mean even where im from we have stayed out of the way of the law an attention of other road users.

Hey guys, as a drifter I love the sport, Haven't yet seen the movie - I will get around to it but My first reaction was that, ALOT of f*ktards are going to get in their cars after seeing this movie and write themselves off and unfortunatly it is already happening and giving the sport many of us love a bad name.

Im not pretending to be all high and mighty, I too have done skids on public roads, never really at ridiculous speeds but all the same I have done it, late at night tucked in my own little quiet corners in industrial areas. I know lots of us do. We more or less get away with it too, some of us have lost our car because of it... the concern is when wanna be's see this and go off when they see movies like this which pumps people up...

think back to the first two movies - geez there were alot of neon lights popping up under civics EVERYWHERE and this movie will spawn the same thing only much more dangerous - I can actually see the cops and mothers everywhere concerns, coz shit when I heard about this movie these were my thoughts!

Tell ya friends to take the dori to the track, it'll make the sport grow and you ain't gonna kill anyone in the process!!

GET ON THE DORI.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
