well japanese people would probably write it the way you do. urls can't contain anything other than roman alphabet (no kanji or kana) so driftas.com is still driftas.com.

I'd say probably the same goes for driftas as it's not really a word so you can't translate. you could spell it out in katakana though I guess like you do with anglo names and words. someone more confident with their kana (and with a way to type it at work!) will be able to do that.

Hey Richard

thanks for the heads up, i thought we would run into trouble with the translation :(

Be great if we could get it in kanji or katakana, who knows it may not look half bad :happy:

Is "driftas" pronounced like "drifters" or as in "as drift as ......"?

If its the later, ドリフトアズ would probably be more appropriate. Makes f*k all difference though, no normal Aussie can read kana anyway.....

Katakana... there is no Kanji for Drift

滑る　；）　but it isnt a direct translation.

Its more drif-tas, as in drift tas if you know what i mean

ドリフトッタズ　is what i would write...

i wonder why if you know nothing about the language your trying to translate to why you would want it in that langauge? i often wonder about these kinds fo things with people

I also wonder why the japanese language every couple of months takes on board a new english word and it becomes part of their language...

the only reason that has been explained to me is because they think its cool

guess that answers everything.....

      Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps

      All trim back in wired running driving. Few things to follow up on but not far off the return to the road. att.6HN4wP38LTIOISkhA8eACoBFqzfgQMahZPLA8ut0pqE.mp4 att.w2q0ux2PGuqgQTj2Os13cNHQtqcSEcCAhD_CAXy_IQM.mp4

      The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.

      I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
