I thought I had it down packed what it was, even the styles such as scandanavian flick, inertia drifting, etc. I know the others just forgot what they are called.

Anyway i was talking to this guy on the R31 Skyline club.

I wonder if i am allowed to post links.

Click this to know the story read all of it to understand it, its not that much

What is your thoughts. I am getting confused

This is what he says Cerbera that is. I am meanman.

Drifting = Moving sideways across the road without having traction, eg: to drift across the road

Powersliding = Using power of your car to drift across the road, cant be done in fwd only 4wd and rwd

:lol:

I thought it was the other way around. Except for the 4wd part I know they do some of the biggest drifts ever.

Couldn't access the link, but yeah, they are the classical definitions - drift used to be used for a 4 wheel slide (as opposed to just having oversteer or understeer).

These days we just call the whole concept of any sort of sliding round corners "drift".

used to drift in fwd in my old car, had 50kw@wheels, just pick up the handbrake at 50-60 km/h and step on the gas, and just counter-steer....preety good in the wet as you dont leave flat spots on your tyres, but more interesting in the dry....wouldnt recomend it around bends, just straight road.

to ass to this thread, 4wd drift has been used way back.....just look at the rally, that is all drift.

*when someone asks what drift is, best said that its like rally driving except on a cirquit.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...

      GReddy Injector Help!

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
