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

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
