Drifiting in Beppu? No offence mang but thats like asking what the drifting is like in Broken Hill, NSW...

Beppu is in Oita prefecture which is on Kyushu island, the 3rd biggest island thats closest to China (well closest out of the 3 biggest islands lol). About the only thing Beppu has got going for it in 'location' terms is that it's reasonably close to Fu-ku-oka (<- stupid censor), where 'URAS' is, so if you can hook up with those guys it would be pretty crazy trust me.

No idea what the drift is like, and frankly, coming from Osaka, Beppu isn't even on the map... but having said that it *is* a rural kind of town so there'd be plenty of car action out there (not just drift). The key would be to get a car, then go hunting! Meet people that way...

Hey,

Yeh, considering that my mate got his car from there when he went lasttime and said he went out drifting with a heap of guys something like "Making Gazage" or i think "Making Garage" .. I bloody can't wait.. Just finished UNI and now im on holidays ... Yeah!!!!!!

It will be pretty crazy shit, i could imagin.. Rezz is there any track's around there?

I seen all the HPI Video's and they make it sound as Kyushu is pretty crazy for DRift! Beppu city - Kyushu island you say :kick:

Damn this is just excitement :)

3 months, 20,000$ spending money.. what more could i want??

Let me know Rezz

Cheers

After a quick search nothing came up for me. I dare say you could find out where the local circuit is within 2 days of being there? Just ask somebody!

The only thing at beppu are a hell of a lot of hot mineral spring & mud baths. Went there last year and had about 3 'mineral experiences' the day i went there. Pity it was in August and farken hot anyway :(

Didnt see alot of drifting i have to admit. Best chance like Rezz said it to take the train down to Fu-ku-oka and check out the scene there. Also Prime Garage is in the area and they turn out some pretty impressive cars. HKS Kyushu may also be a place to stop and talk to Dragon-san

I don't think I could make $20K last three months on a jap holiday. from memory I spent about $3 or $4k a week. if you were just living there that's another story... but if you're serious about buying parts and shopping and going out you will do a fair bit of dough in a hurry. this was in tokyo area though so it may be different in the japanese broken hill.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
