DRFT D1 S15 drifter... around the corner from me.


Recommended Posts

This is it.

These pics were taken immediately around the corner from my apartment.

I don't mean to sound co_cky, but how many of you live around the corner from a D1 driver? This is DRFT D1 driver Akinori "Uchii" Utsumi's DRFT D1 S15 chop-top drifter on a flatbed truck at 9am this morning:

So you're probably thinking, why don't I get expert drift tuition from this guy?

I will, just as soon as I get my 180SX... I kid you not.

Oh, and here's me doing my best "Jash" impression at the Osaka Auto Messe last month... with "Asuka"...

Oooooh, don't do that!:woofy:

Asuka is "Rei's" friend... yep, if you know one RQ, you know about 20 of them. Asuka is coming to our school next month for a trial lesson. Can't wait!

;)

You should interview him Rezz!

Good idea... but you should of seen Uchii when I told him I live around the corner from him and walk past his house every day!!! He was embarrassed for sure... I think it's coz he still lives with his parents... :)

Haha, thats awesome, Come to think of it the D1 Round champs only get 300,000 Yen ($3500) and Imamura who was D1 Champ last year only received 1,000,000 Yen ($12,000 AUD)... So I don't blame the poor bugger if he is still at home, that amount of prize money isn't much considering the cost of the amount of modifications that they have in there drift machines, I guess the sponsers pay for it all :D

Better be soon Justin, before the cold disappears :).

Me been away for 2 weeks, hosed the light snow off the car last weekend luckily the snow we get doesn't collect on the road. How good is that 3 degree day temp :D:D:D

We will have to catch up before you leave for Aust, exchange our photos etc.

Certainly is good weather for thirsty turbos :P

We had a big dump of snow here the other day - didn't last long, but I was talking to some elderly japanese gentlemen (70s and 80s) in my eikaiwa class and they both said it was the only time they had ever seen heavy snow in march.

Roll on humid weather I say! still got the frickin' rainy season to go though...

    • Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?
    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
