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.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By LaurelPWR · Posted

      Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha.

      Sheraaz's R34GTT Build

      By Shizu · Posted

      Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
