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?"
  • 9 months later...

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.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
