Hmm do you think Initial D is a good impression of what cars look like and can do?? I mean its pretty realistic...sorta. and realli the only thing missing is the clutch! The movie is featuring D1 drivers as the characters, so i doubt there will even have a proper story!!! WHY DONT THEY HAVE R33'S IN INITIAL D?! EXPLAIN THAT TO ME!!

ok initial d is cartoon :)

an r33 isnt a good drift car, due to its weight (but again this really isnt the case if the driver knows what he is doing, as there have been much heaver cars drift in the d1 etc)

and initial d has the clutch :) it

oh dude change colour of ur text i cant read it

Very true it is a cartoon, but you dont see R33 2 doors when the D1 drivers drift in a skyline, they always have 4 door, even though they still rarely use a R33 in it, its usually the 34, which i really dont like much... and where do you see the clutch?!?!

i cant remember but i have watch all eps from stage 1 to stage 4 (inc the newly rls eps7 and 8) and there is a clutch.

my thread on the 4dr is that is has an affect once it starts drifting to hold the drift longer or better you can say due to the increase in lenght or something like that

ohh do u mean the arcade game?

yeh thats what i was ment to say.. lol

see wouldnt it be mad and a good starter for leaners if they got used to using a clutch and blah blah with cars... i mean they make enough money as it is with all there products... it costs $25,000 to buy two version 3 machines, think about how much money you would make $2 each game....

Hard Drivin' had a clutch and amazingly realistic steering feel and wind noise sound...

It also had shitful graphics!

Some versions of 355 Challenge have a clutch too (I used to have the Chadstone lap record for Suzuka long)...

But i have never seen any with a clutch
Ferrari F355 Challenge by SEGA AM had a clutch... but the gear stick was on the righthand side, so it was hard to get used to. Awesome 3-screen setup, and the clutch was super heavy with a notchy 6-speed 'box. Best driving arcade game ever.

Heres our man Shuey having a go:

Very intresting.... would of been nice if people that make the games could hear this, sometimes if they just took quotes or something the game would be made a whole lot better, but i guess they make enough money as it is at the moment.... theres a new initial d machine being made aparently and it has a flat screen, now that is pretty impressive!!

i have a friend who has spent (seriously) hundreds, possibly thousands on the initial d machines. i had a go of it, and the lack of a clutch kinda ruined it (i dont go to arcades very often) plus you have to fight for the machines, all the little kids play it. i dont think they even realised that your meant to drift, as they pick integras ect. and i think it is for that reason they havent, and probably wont, put in a clutch, cause the most of the kids wont know what the hell it is. you rarely see any nissans being used. plus its too fast. the makers of gran turismo realised this years ago, and everyone still makes ther games ridiculosly fast. version 3 is an improvement over v2.

what do u mean by rediculously fast? as in the game doesnt last long or the cars are too fast??

on the same note, did they ever release intial d pal version for PS2??  dont really wanna chip my PS2 thats all.

No only released in Jap NTSC - but you don't need a chip if your TV supports NTSC. PAL PS2's will play all NTSC games just fine. I've got heaps of NTSC games on a bog stock never-opened Aus ver 5/6 PS2.

Something to think about.

Flat screen? All the new games in Japan (going back what a year or two) all have flat screens... what are you talking about?

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
