SUUUUUHHHHHHHHWEEEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

man thats just beutiful, those corners were crazy, but I wonder how many times those guys crash before they become expert drifters! and the passenger, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....man you could just play the audio of that clip and it'd have me cracking up!

 

 

Wow. I dont think I have ever seen roads like that anywhere. I wonder how fast they are going.

SuDZ

 

lol

 

Too funny...

Where are the English subtitles? Would love to know what that guy is chattering about... in between screams.

 

That movie was damn funny! What kind of car was that? I was thinking maybe a JDM Acura CL or something?
-Cyrus

 

FWD? I think its a S14 Silvia...

 

The only thing you can really see are its tails! Maybe Silvia, but they look like CL tails?
-Cyrus

 

I would love 2 be the passager in there.

 

that was some good stuff

 

I was lookin at the lights in the front at the end of the video.. but who knows WHAT it is.

 

Those roads are common in Japan. As for
speed I have to guess no more than 50MPH
or 60MPH. 50mph is the fastest anywhere you can go in Japan on the toll road and
18mph is the normal city driving.

japanese people don't drift FWD cars..

 

The headlights look like S14 to me. I'd venture to say that was on a track, it looked like there were rumblestrips. That drifting is weak compared to THIS:

Enjoy.

 

Like real life "Initial D"! Nice job...great video.

 

Speaking of that, I have every episode of that show on 16 CD's thats the fastest cartoon/3d animation ever

 

Hey there smart guy s14's are rear wheel so why dont you learn your cars before you start making fun of someone.

sweet! THat girl can drive!! Not as well as the other guys but hell, she can school me anytime

 

sweet, the ending is sweet!! but man I haven't seen one drift car with an INTACT front valence!

 

is it in japanese?/ I can't find any english episode

 

Ah... the beauty of RWD...

 

a little off topic since it has nothing to do with the maxima...but nontheless you hit a soft spot in me with drifting...yes, japanese only drift with RWD cars, drifting with FWD cars is not impossible but so short and uneventfull that its not worth the trouble or the tires.

the car is the S15 Silvia (latest silvia which never reached the US), visible by its unique tail lights

drifting takes basically two things, bald tires and a rear wheel drive car, sprinkle in a dab of high-hp and you have yourself some sideways goodness! please spare me the tech talk (yes you need negative camber in the front..bla bla bla)

the japanese know that when it comes to good cars, RWD is best. most of the drifting cars they use are actually pretty cheap and mostly beat up( due to their very rare foul-ups ) cars. most of the cars are 80's toyotal corollas (AE86) because of their relatively low price and RWD platform, and LOTS and LOTS of nissan sylvias (240 here in US). youd be surprised how many old silvias have 180 front ends, in japan if you mess up your front end, its way cheaper to put on a 180 front end that the silvia (since the silvia front end had the pop up lights in the early 90's). (or is the other way around?i cant remember...but yea, I think actually its the 180 that had the pop up lights..and people use silvia front ends on the 180's...anyways, im falling asleep so i cant remember) its very easy to spot a drifter, very rarely do they have any kind of body kits, they have body damamage in the weirdest places (from side-swiping mountains and various guard-rails) and always will you notice that their front tires have negative camber while the rear tires have no camber not to mention no tread! (its a good practice to drive on good tires and then pop on the baldies after you get to the mountains)
.
whew, i talk too much...but I do love drifting! cant wait for december of this year...getting my LSD...and my 240

 

Oooh, that was lovely. Makes me look forward to the 350Z
