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...

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:

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.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By tidi0x · Posted

      I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.

      Single Turbo Conversion Lines.

      By StevenJames32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
