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

what i ment was they could of put a clutch in the game, not the episodes... ino theres a clutch in the episodes... dl battle stage, saves you the trouble of watching all the series... i mean a 86 wouldnt be much use in automatic lol

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?

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
