This is the movie based on the whole drifting craze, not the movie that started it!

And the movie is based on the comic book and (later) the cartoon series, but even they came after the whole scene had been around for at least a few years...

Man this brings back good old memories, the initial D anime series is what got me interested in the skylines in the 1st place.

The 4 circle tail lights of that black R32 GT-R just stood out from all those other cars that had those ugly squarish lights :P.

Too bad they only gave the R32 a minor role in the anime, where the dude who drove it sucks & keeps on crashing it (twice, I recall; once against the AE86, the other time against a EVO IV) :D

The skyline returned in a R34 GTT & GT-R in stage 4, but those were only shown for a couple of episodes (in the case of the GT-T more like just a couple of screen shots...)

EDIT: I'm gonna watch the entire series again, its somewhere on my 1TB external HDD...

The anime ones direct from japan where cool, but they did some stupid CGI version of the car racing when they brought it over here.

And i'll second the "todays cartoons suck!" every damn cartoon i watch has been created entirely for the purpose of selling stupid cards or toys. X-Men, Batman, Intial-D, Ninja Scroll, transformers (okay done by a toy maker but still) these were real cartoons that had interesting relationships and some technicalities to them.

Oh and Cowboy Bebop is an unreal anime series if anyone is looking for good ones to see.

Not quire sure what you've seen, but if you like Cowboy Bebop, you'll love Ghost in The Shell and Trigun.

The girl and I are currently hacking into One Piece as well. She wasn't a big anime person before she met me, but we've just hit around ep 250 of One Piece now.

Also try out Sumari Champloo. It's short (only 26 eps) but the story is VERY good! Couple of laughs thrown in there as well.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.

      How can I remove this adhesive?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.

      So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!

      If by "flap disc" you meant "chocolate wheel".... then they are OK for getting off stubborn remnants. But not for stuff with bulk depth. If by "flap disc" you meant "abrasive paint f**ker"....
