i'm not sure about finding any place to download the older episodes, but i know the latest ones can be DL'ed using MIRC or Bit Torrent.

i played Inital D the other day for the first time................

i was at a small arcade and i managed to finish Crisis Zone (time crisis with a submachine gun) with one credit, the manager was watching and congradulated me, i asked for a free game as a prize, which i got, so i played Inital D

I thought it was pretty crap..........the only thing special about it is the RPG element, and you get to race jap cars.............the actual game play wasnt groundbreaking and the shift up down gear box is taking the piss...............

the game is ok. not realistic at all (as if a GTR would get beaten!)

buy movies, downloading them is illegal.

Ahh finally I got my internet connected again.

I haven't seen Initial D before but do you have to watch it form the start to understand it? Because Im trying to find the older episodes to buy to see if I like it. Where can I find Initial D dvds? I don't often play the Initial D game at the arcades but I like versing friends once in a while.

you didn't play it enough to have a good amount of fun.

it doesn't get good until later in the game when you begin to understand how the game plays...and you can drive on the complicated stages.

yah, you have to watch it from episode 1 to understand it completely.

any Chinatown or Asian Market/Mall should have Initial D stuff for sale. at least i would think so, because it's a huge franchise in Japan and HK.

i don't like battling friends in the arcade game (well, at least only 2 of my friends) cause i always get PWNED by them...they're too damn experienced and good at it.

Hmmm Autobarm ill find one near. And where do you get the cards that have your game info on it. Ive only played it like 3 times.

it will ask you if you want to purchase a card when you start a new game (has to be single player mode though) and you'll be prompted to insert more money into the machine before you get the card.

you play and the card will print when you end your game.

i wonder if the cards have worldwide compatability....that'd be cool if they did. i highly doubt it though.

nah, cards dont have worldwide compatability...

damn machines cost as much as a fricken car (holden barina)

there is a big debate over which arcade machine is better : Initial D or the new Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune

personally, i like wangan more....they offer six speed manual transmission,whereas ID offered up down shifts, that and the soundtrack rocks on wangan midnight, i dunno bout u guys but i sure as hell prefer techno music whilst speeding down the tokyo highway @ 312km/h instead of listening to jpop, that really distinguishes the mood...however, i must admit, ID has way way better drifting than max tune...if only we all lived in a world where 2 dollar coins are not as finite, we would be in utopia

I bought Initial D Mountain vengeance for the pc from my local Harvey Norman on Saturday for 20 bucks, and an impulse buy steering wheel for 80! Pretty fun but you get through all the tracks too quickly....

Is the stearing wheel good? I brought one before but is was really crap and was spring loaded and was really hard to turn fully to the side. Stupid crappy spring stearing wheels.

Well ima initial d fan, been playing since version 2, which was had a major bug in it, but version 3 better, even though they slowed it down. Well to get into initial first, one must watch the anime, or read the manga. Just a warning dont ever buy the mountain vengence games. But yeah you can buy or rent initial d at most rental outlet. I also heard that maximum tune is also good, but can't find the manga or anime anyways. and for all you fans out there u might not no these, but if u wanna play initial d, just type 'driftbattle' on google.com and click on the flash one not the driftbattle.com one, thats one was is down. (funny thing its better then the mountain veng, even though u just use the 86)

Later y'all

Hey I got Initial D series one (4 dvds, like 29 episodes) from China for like $30, same for series 2 and Initial D the movie. They are much better than the ones here in australia as the packaging is heaps better and anyway for the price of 3 episodes ($30ish) you get 29...and then I think 18 or something in the second series.

Also, I have Initial D game for PS2 which is a direct port of the arcade version - exactly the same. cost me like $100 to import it from japan (have to have mod chip) the game is all in japanese but the driving is driving so who cares...

Initial D: Project D (third series) came out in Japan about last march I believe.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
