This is the only form of drifting I've perfected.

Its where you "Hit the gutter and Rip a wheel off":D

Rear wheels - a good place for beginners to start

Front left - more advanced

Front right - maximum street cred!!

Bonus points for ripping a wheel off and still completing the next corner!

lmao @ MIKGTR. thas funny shit man, i see where your coming from, it's easy to do....

most people seem to power slide from mid corner on... this is a good place to start, as you get better and better, you can do it earlier in the corner, then finally, as they do in Japan, and as Denzo does, do it well before the corner, then carry it into even the next corner....

all takes practice

LOL another one of my favorites:D especially if you manage to bruise both thumbs somewhere during all the over corrections!!

fark you guys must be experts

i've only ever tried in a gem and a vl, both raining, both locked diffs, both times got chocolate cake all down my pants...

what i find the very hardest in drift is keeping a straight line, while going diagonally forwards, sideways...fark, i just can't get it, but once i held the gem just like....this.........fark!.........all the way through a set of lights...kinda...

the vl was a shyteload of fun around two-lane roundabouts...hold the steering, control speed and direction with the throttle...never been in a car that flexed so much, though. disconcerting, that.

I have a video on my computer of that Kazuhiro Tanaka maniac...dead set LUNATIC, and he's drifting into corners, all the way thru until halfway down the next straight.... drives that red s15... but they seem to pump the clutch on corners and wheely it up.....i figure thats how they keep it sideways......

OH, and the comentators literally blow their load everytime they say TANAKA (OHH TANAKA OH MY GOD..only in japanese), quite maniacle.....but kool

i practise FWD drifting with the handbrake on the local roundabouts in the rain....rather funny.....no torque drifting is quite... slippeery

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
