This is the movie based on the whole drifting craze, not the movie that started it!

And the movie is based on the comic book and (later) the cartoon series, but even they came after the whole scene had been around for at least a few years...

Man this brings back good old memories, the initial D anime series is what got me interested in the skylines in the 1st place.

The 4 circle tail lights of that black R32 GT-R just stood out from all those other cars that had those ugly squarish lights :P.

Too bad they only gave the R32 a minor role in the anime, where the dude who drove it sucks & keeps on crashing it (twice, I recall; once against the AE86, the other time against a EVO IV) :D

The skyline returned in a R34 GTT & GT-R in stage 4, but those were only shown for a couple of episodes (in the case of the GT-T more like just a couple of screen shots...)

EDIT: I'm gonna watch the entire series again, its somewhere on my 1TB external HDD...

The anime ones direct from japan where cool, but they did some stupid CGI version of the car racing when they brought it over here.

And i'll second the "todays cartoons suck!" every damn cartoon i watch has been created entirely for the purpose of selling stupid cards or toys. X-Men, Batman, Intial-D, Ninja Scroll, transformers (okay done by a toy maker but still) these were real cartoons that had interesting relationships and some technicalities to them.

Oh and Cowboy Bebop is an unreal anime series if anyone is looking for good ones to see.

Not quire sure what you've seen, but if you like Cowboy Bebop, you'll love Ghost in The Shell and Trigun.

The girl and I are currently hacking into One Piece as well. She wasn't a big anime person before she met me, but we've just hit around ep 250 of One Piece now.

Also try out Sumari Champloo. It's short (only 26 eps) but the story is VERY good! Couple of laughs thrown in there as well.

      R33 GTR N1 REO on an r32 ?

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know....but I can't see how they would be. Different shape chassis and bumper means it is unlikely the reo is interchangeable. Doesn't mean it would be impossible to modify it to fit of course

      They're supposed to not be compatible.

      R33 GTR N1 REO on an r32 ?

      By 32pwwr · Posted

      Evening fam, Pretty much what the title asks, I have looked all over and can’t find a proper answer expect one post from almost a decade ago which is vague. ive seen photos and they look pretty much identical, would an r33 GTR N1 reo work on an r32? reason I ask is they are cheaper to buy… $700 compared to 1k+ for an r32 n1 reo

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Couldn't help myself, had to start putting it together.... It really is a solid bit of kit.  Probably stronger than i would have made it myself to be fair! 🤣🤣 Sweating like a pig after that.  Bloody hot and muggy day today, time for a swim now!

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Yeah was thinking that. I've had the car go lower idle possibly around 650rpm every once in a long time after pouring fuel and would sound quite rough like a misfire, almost like it's shit fuel or something but who knows.
