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.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)

      Id just remove the solid subframe bushes.  you are over complicating things.  on a side note make sure you do some research on the skyline shed before buying from them.

      2020 Nissan Skyline 400R V37/Infiniti Q50 RS insurance in NSW

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      Just got back from overseas and once again Rego and service time. Supercheap auto cant find my plates on their list to match my car to buy a crush washer lolol. NRMA has my number plate linked to R35 GTR which i have explained once again that it is not a GTR. Its scary in the sense that if somthing happens and my insurance wont cover me if its the wrong car on their list even though they are the ones that have made the mistake. Im not sure NIGHTCRAWLER why the neg comment? Its a 2020 V37 400R Skyline? and asking for someone to post their VIN number is crazy just to prove it? Its a legit Nissan Skyline from japan factory 400R its does use the Q50 infinity chasis but this is the Japan model.
