doing a skid round a corner and kicking the back end out is not drift

no its not jap drifting is pointing the nose of the car at the exit angle of the turn. drifting can be done by 6 different methods.

1) E-brake

2) Shift-lock

3) braking

4) Fainto

5) Power over

6) Dynamic

if you really REALLY want to know and want to buy a kick ass DVD you should get the Speacial edition Best Motoring Drift Bible it is bad ass. Keiichi Tsuchiya is teaching you how to properly drift

"funkymonkey" when does it stop being a drift and become a powerslide. it becomes a power slide when you loose traction after the turn has passed, if you slide and hold it anywere before during or just before the end or the corner is drifting, you could use power sliding for drifting also you can power slide one way and when you regain traction it tosses you to the other direction and you use that as a "Dynamic" drift it is really simple after you watch that Video its cool shit.

I just thought drifting was losing traction whilst doing a corner and regaining control from the slide before to slide into a curb...I guess I could be wrong, since I dont drift myself :D

That's pretty much what all the ppl that try to be heros on the city roads do... and that's so not drift... and then they go "aw man did you check that mad drift I just pulled?"

ok, i've seen those tutorial vids too. And it's a load of crap how everyone suddenly goes off using all these terms that the japs use, such as 'e brake' lol, like WTF? i think you mean handbrake?

I agree that these habibs that do fully sick schidds around the corner are not drifting. The idea with drift is put the wheels out of traction while still being in control. I notice that some of you guys reckon that it is not a drift if you are not pointing out before the corner. It is a much safer way to learn drifting by just bringing the back out once in the corner, and working with that first. it gives you an idea of countersteering to regain control. I started like that in the rain. Much less chance of spinning your whole car around or mounting the kerb.

Yeah that annoys me too, but E-brake is an American term, in the video they mix in the term "side brake" which I presume is a Japanese transliteration...

Well, to me powersliding has always seemed out of control. Where-as with a drift you've still got control of the car as sideways as it is.

I.e. powersliding to me is when the car is sideways, with all four wheels doing absolutely nothing in the way of forward momentum or directional changes. And that its a power slide and your about to hit a pole;)

Who knows, thats how I've always seen it. I know that you can get into slides with power to carry through corners etc, and I don't call that drift.. Alot of cars here flick the ass out coming out of a corner and say, see that drift.. Or fishy it up the road with minor angle on the car and say whoa drifted that.

Whereas its more like, wow, you glorified a chirp.. Let me see you keep that fishy going around the next two corners without killing yourself.

I see drift as a form of powersliding with the occasional need to the handbrake.

Powersliding is more brute power that sends your 'power' sliding out of a corner.

To myself Powersliding is exactly that.. 'Power' 'Sliding' Using power to create a slide, not like drift that some times uses the handbrake or a touch of the brake pedal to help hold the slide a little longer.

Essentially Drifting is powersliding to a certian extent BUT powersliding is not drifting.

If your looking out the drivers side or passenger side window to see where the f**k your going for more than a couple of seconds without spinning or overcorrecting... your drifting :P

sideways is sideways it just comes down to how long you can hold it like that... (directly proportional to the size of your balls)

LOL! excellent. :(

Funky, this is drifting...

Justin, reason you say/see idiots drifting poorly in Skylines is because they haven't setup the car properly and the car is too heavy to start with...plus who drifts in Skylines anyway except for Nomu! Not that it can't be done just not as elegant and sustained with a lighter car and sufficent horsepower.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
