Tokyo Drift Areas And High Speed Runs


Recommended Posts

If you're looking forward seeing some drift spots, when you heading up Tokyo area, you can try go to Urayasu (浦安) area which is near Tokyo Disneyland, every Thrusday or Friday you may able to find many drifters (野郎), of course they wont drift near the Disneyland area, they will first meet at some convineient store, like 7-11 or Lawson nearby, then they'll drive to some factory area.... Nowadays police take drift very seroiusly, it may be hard to see any, it really depends your luck.

If you also interest top speed (最高速) , or if you have mates around Chiba area, you can go to AQUA line in Chiba area, it's actually a long fast express tunnel which connects Chiba Kisaradu (木更津), Yokohama (横浜) and Kanagawa (神奈川県), this AQUA line is a good run, but each run will cost you 4000yen in tolls, so people will just do a U turn in the parking area and do a few high speed runs... since this express line very expensive, not many normal commuters will use it, so Friday night you might able to see many zeroyon ゼロヨン (0 - 400m drags), a few years ago Wangan Kousoku 湾岸高速 was the best place , but nowadays there are too many accidents, so it might be hard to see any runs on the Kousoku 高速。。。。there might be a bigger drifting scene around Osaka.

Regarding getting parts in Upgarage...I bet it might be hard to get good parts around there, since I think many good parts have already been bought by other poeple or something, and Upgarage prices aren't really bargains anyway, the best place to get bargains would be on Yahoo auctions, Goo parts, and some internet online stores. If you want to find some wecking yards in Tokyo area, I can list you some or search for you, and nowadays finding places that do front cuts are very hard to find since the govenment is changing the rules every few years. You could try Osaka, it might have more wekcing places, I have heard that at TRIAL they help customers with front cut/half cuts... Anyway good luck for your trip.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
