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?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
