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

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
