Can't drift in an auto? EH? all you need is corner/boost to get the rear spinning, drop it back, bounce it off the rev limiter and keep it there :) I can't wait to go out to the track to try some dorifto, just remember, all the people who think autos can't drive, will be even more surprised when anyone out there shows them :)

Yes you can drift in an auto, one of the initial drift members owns a jzx90 chaser and it is an auto he has the advantage of an 2-way cusco diff but still manages to show up a lot of people with long controled slides into and on the exit of corners and switch backs.

Guys... I have to bust some major rules of Drift..

Firstly Generaly you can't drift an auto... Yes you can and sometimes even better than Manuals due to Long Gearing and no need to change out of gear and have that split second pause of wheels spin which can cause major drift problems...

Secondly most people don't drift heavy cars with long wheel bases because they have no Handling and heaps of Body Roll... True it's harder, but just takes more skill....

Thirdly, Don't drift a holden or a Ford... I agree a bit.. but hey...

No a Standard VS auto won't drift, It will single wheel spin.. lots.. into something hard...

Locked diff might help, But it's your mums car.. you'll surely break something when learning...

When I said I busted some rules.. I did... I drift a 1977 ZH fairlane 500 .. nearly 2 tonnes of car... Its big, heavy, Auto a Ford.. But has a 351 and an LSD and some how I seem to be able to hold a drift.. usually in the rain..

and the 3000 rpm Stall converter helps...

You may think I am insane ... But no one else has done it... and I challenge any one else to try hehe...

I'll post some pics of a drifting Pimp machine when I can

I like all these wankers who can't think you can drift this that and the other, only makes them more surprised when they see you drifting it :D

I think you'll find what a lot of people call drifting in a falcon or VS is just plain powersliding that any half arse can do. drifiting is an art and anyone who can master drifting can drift anything FWD open, anything you just gotta know how and find a track to do it on.

POWER SLIDING no

DRIFTING yes :thumbs up:

ok, thanks, and another thing, when i pull the handbreak when im driving along, say at 25kmph, this wierd beeping sound starts, ( like a computer beeping sound ) ... whats the deal with that... I assume its just a warning beep to tell you the handbreak is on and your traveling too fast to use it, but just askin you boys to make sure.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
