Phil, you worry me. My point of this damn thread was the fact that THOSE particular commentators THEN had no idea, and i found it amusing

listening to it because of that. DA has improved heaps now and i AM aware of that, but it wasnt my point was it? My point was about those particular commentators and the simple fact of them not knowing what they were commentating about in general.

Why am I one person who cannot comment on drifting in any aspect? Cos i havnt gone to a track in my 33 like u have? That makes u a sick drifter who can talk about drifting yeah? You learnt how to go sideways a couple of months ago, i started when i was 15..

I have a 100cc race kart that i take to tracks which has taught me a HEAP about throttle & steering control, race lines & reflex that will take u another few years to learn, if u ever learn that is. Im not saying im some drifter from japan, but i understand it.

Y have i not gotten out there as yet? How often has my 33 been at Creatd cos of different bullsh&* F&&ng up? Also mabey because my engine is forged i didnt want to risk overheating it without an oil cooler till it was fitted.. I intended on taking that car to the track prepared so I wouldnt have to tow it home, but looks like i wont for a while now since the motor is blown.

Why is a commo the WORST idea ever? Should i have spent $6000 on a gutless 4 cylinder AE86 with rust & a pod filter because its know in japan as a drift car? OR $1,500 for a 3.8ltr V6 manual commo with plenty of tourque which most cheap jap cars DONT have, parts are also ANYWHERE and cheap which is vital for a car thats going to hit walls. Besides, it will be something different & amusing to watch on a track.

Why is a holden with stiff suspension, sway bars, no 4 wheel steer & the right tires going to be so bad? Please advise.

man, i didnt LEARN in 5 months.. the point i am making is, dont talk unless you yourself have experienced on a track, i neva commented on ANYTHING if i had never done it..

BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PERFECTLY GOOD R33 TO DRIFT WITH.. BUILT FOR IT, AND THATS THE WAY YOU SHOULD DRIVE IT...

you dont need an oil cooler to drift, your oil wont thin out that easily.. mine has been perfect all day at winton and lap after lap after lap at calder. I on the other hand would rather a bigger radiator..

You have the advantage over me with go karting etc.. but you have never experienced drifting on a track and with tandem eg. going up against my brother and others who make you nervous as shit..

Ill give you a go on the track. any money you will do what me and anth did when we first started.. spin out again and again and again

I don't really see what the argument is about guys, who cares when they said it, or how educated/uneducated they were at the time, what they are saying is hilarious and in no way relevant to drifting, dean_HR31 just posted it up for a laugh anyone with half a clue can see that and then you guys try and put a jihad on him lol, seriously.. chill

Your brother does not make me nervous? Is there some kind of a competition between me and ur brother? Isnt it all about fun??

Your brother is a top bloke & a top driver & thats what i tell others too. I have full respect for Anth.

Any money i will do the same as u on the track first go?? Thats judging, you really shouldn't judge.

Yes my r33 was built to be thrashed & thats what i did, but not for 45 minutes straight. I looked after it at the same time which is why

im so annoyed about the engine blowing.

The oil cooler i believe is more important that the bigger radiator. While water temp can stay steady, i have noticed oil can keep rising.

im not saying anth is nervous to drift with, im saying others when ppl r just about to kiss you from behind on the track its hard..

and im not judging.. im generalizing even rob said the same, when he first started he lost it heaps and its a general thing..

I know what type of driver you are man. but making threads like these will bring those responses because people on here dont like drift unfortunately.. most are skidpan and trackday nuts...

But like i said, i have been in the 31 comming onto the ring road from easbound maccas facing the gutter after geelong >_<

The new laws our out so im gonna take my time with it since i cant drive it on the road till im 21... >_<

Wtf is going on with this law anyway?? Have they bloody inforced it yet or what!?!?! I still havnt heard of anyone getting done...

like an ae86 but in the shape of a vn :D

bunnings warehouse - matte black spray paint = full jap

since i have no license.. im putting my new turbo setup on >_<

Yeah, it doesn't seem like they're doing anything about the new rule. Haven't heard one person talking about getting done yet either.

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
