Once upon a time in the land of the rising sun the emperor decreed that he would like to try his hand at time attack. The dutiful officials decked out a gleaming black Nissan Cedric with twin carbs, extractors, an apexi cannon and whitewall cheesecutters in accordance with his majesty's whim and took the whole shebang to Mt Fuji so his highness could demonstrate his supremeness to the people by shattering the record.

As it turns out the divine one couldnt drive a nail into soap and ended up sideways at every left or right deviation as well as on the main straight. The quick thinking officials in fear of losing their heads then announced to the crowd that his greatness had just demonstrated the new national sport to be embraced by all and it would be called....."DRIFTING"

Such was the general lack of driving ability among the populace that most of them had been (unbeknown to themselves) "DRIFTING" for most of their driving lives. Now that it had the divine seal of approval it raised the standard of moral to a high level throughout the land to the point that DRIFTING became the norm and driving in a straight line or smoothly on a circuit was severely frowned upon by officialdom.

So you see Markimac (mudcrab) and others. "DRIFTING" is the sole domain of those talentless individuals incapable of correctly apexing a corner or putting the power down in a manner conducive to exiting a corner under full control at high speed. Even High speed low et drag times are beyond their limited ability hence their desire to embrace the "DRIFTING" principle.

And they all lived happily ever after. :laughing-smiley-014:

thankyou papa noel. the emperor u speaketh of is a man call dai-jiro :P

fook yeah i wish the traffic in australia had 500hp :sorcerer: the silver R34 or later white is the blitz 4 door driven by ken nomura.

Kenny! I remember him. he tried his hand at drag racing at the bank. What you see in the video is what he produced there too. :laughing-smiley-014:

rightio gents and ladies(thats you shane), as someone who has embraced DRIFT, you drag racers are just jealous that we get to turn RIGHT as well as LEFT.

+1

someone change the name to drift vs grip.. :thanks:

i wonder how many have used the dirty man's weight reduction technique...:P

whats this u speak of..?

Nigga please

I can drag to a degree

I can drive circuit to a degree

But I can not drift in anyway shape or form

That tells me it is harder and the likely hood of tards being able to do it is low

And Noel you KNOW that when done well and minus the antisocial skater/jackass type attitude that the scene has in this particular country it is a good specticle with some really nice cars! You told me ooops I promised not to tell others ha ha :P

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
