that car is wild.. love the remote resivors for the shocks

[slydin'240]

No comments on the wing yet. I am indifferent to wings, but usually a wing like that would get crushed here.

But anyway, the car is f'n sweet as heck. I would probally wet myself everytime I opened the garage.

[95nismo240]

the wing has got to go!!

[rico05]

WTF is the comments on the wing? You do in fact realize that is a JGTC wing? That could damn near pass in FIA regulation for GT class cars. That is not some ricer APC $60 special...I guarantee that it is part of an integrated gusset under the trunk lid that attaches to the unibody and is a true downforce generation monster. Without that wing, in that shape, the rear of a ~600rwhp crazy-a$$-power-band-having drift car would be much less fun to keep in line!! (well, techincally out of line, but you get what I mean...)

Wow. Just wow. A D1 car fully raked out by Nismo. There is no higher level of tune that a car like that could receive, and from the company that is argueably the best in the business (the only 2 tuning companies that I put before Nismo are Prodrive and AMG) makes it all the more sweet.

Black LM GT4s (only 400 sets were ever made in 5 lug pattern!!!!!), Skyline 3.5GT MAF, Nismo cylinder head, etc makes this one unique ride! I could sepnd days (more like weeks) fawning over this car! I know that I joke about being an atheist, but I honestly have to change my tune.

There is no greater God than Nismo. And I am as devout as they get

You might want read Rico's comment.. and I think NISMO put that wing there for a reason... they might not find a reason to put it on your car though.

[574-240sx]

What would you do if you had an opportunity to be alone with this car?

I wouldn't drive it lightly. I would end up probably pounding the snot out of it because I could, if I was alone.

[rico05]

I would just sit and stare at it...but never touch it. I am not talented enough and I would just insult the car and the builders by even sitting in it.

I'm not kidding on the Nismo worship here.

[gepeto]

I would steal the spoiler and burn it. Then I'd drive it.

[xyoufailmex]

You people.... do you think park bench wings caught on for the heck of it? No, they were first on GT cars and whatnot... There are functional wings, and there are aluminum APC pieces of crap... This car was ENGINEERED, not just put together... Every piece of plastic, carbon fiber, FRP, or anything else on that car is there for function... Nismo doesnt play around with stuff like that, or else theyd lose their respect as one of the top car modifiers in the world.

[240DRFT]

might be in the next D1?.....any word on who might drive it?

[PGBrian]

Tanaguchi drove it in some of the Big X stuff.but i dont see him leaving HKS.so, who knows.

[slydin'240]

That's fine and all but it is not a JGTC car, it's a drift car.

[xyoufailmex]

That's fine and all but it is not a JGTC car, it's a drift car.

Of course, but that doesnt change the fact that aerodynamics are a factor and need to be dealt with.

[rico05]

That's fine and all but it is not a JGTC car, it's a drift car.

WOW. All I can say is WOW. There are those special times in life when you open up and really expose your ignorance in front of a lot of people. Some folks screw up Final Jeprody. Some drop the ball on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? You, my friend, made yourself look like a moron in front of 25,000 NICOnauts!

Learn some air flow and fluid dynamics bud, then start making "judgements" on aerofoils designed by highly skilled engineers with more years experience in their little finger than how many years old you prob. are.

Oh, and BTW: I'm pretty sure that your user name should be spelled sliding.Kids these days...

[slydin'240]

How is that ignorant? I was just making a point. And I'm not sure who you are calling a kid, last time I checked I was 26 years old. YOU are the one calling names, not me. My personal opinion is I hate the wing simple as that. Wheather it's good for aerodynamics or not. I am aloud to express my opinion. I think you just showed how childish you are BUD.

[elCoupe]

your still ignorant, and you spelled alowed wrong.

[xyoufailmex]

your still ignorant, and you spelled alowed wrong.

And you spell "your" wrong.. it's "you're"... dont try to jump on the flame bandwagon...

Anyways, "slydin'" you can dislike the wing if you want, but you said "This isn't a JGTC car" as if that means that aerodynamics plays no role in drifting.

[slydin'240]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't JGTC a racing series not a drift series?

And elCoupe before you want to correct someones spelling, check yours first. And you still haven't told me how I am being ignorant.

If being ignorant means having your own opinion then I guess we are all ignorant.

Ok so the wing creates massive amounts of downforce, help me understand why that is important in drifting. I'm not trying to be an ***hole about this but I just don't get it.

And I am not the only one that does not like the wing by the way!

[gepeto]

I don't understand why downforce would be a good thing in drifting... maybe they installed it backwards

[240marcuSX]

umm..

nice car, could do without the girly bickering though.

[xyoufailmex]

Dude shutup.... my mom's a girl...

[Veriest1]

I don't understand why downforce would be a good thing in drifting... maybe they installed it backwards

Downforce = traction. Even while operating at extreme slip angles the rear tires are still in contact with the road and generating friction. If they weren't the car would just spin out. The added downforce is going to be what allows the driver to keep an extreme amount of horsepower on the track as opposed to in a wall.

This wing is not rice. What we have here is similiar to someone today seeing an FD RX7 for the first time and saying "It looks a lot like a 2003 (C5?) Corvette." In which case the person would have it backwards.

I have no issues with this wing.

[240marcuSX]

more cars, less whining plzkthx

my moms a girl too, she bickers more than most.

[SoCalS14]

Screw the wing, I like the powder coating job on the valve cover...if mine was not polished...

[95nismo240]

i dont care how much that wing helps the car with aerodynamics. the wing looks hideous and needs to go!!

[Veriest1]

and needs to go!!

Actually, it is very possible and likely that the deveolpers of this car (Nismo) experienced problems with keeping the car under control at high speed. Just like in JGTC you can only tune extreme oversteer out to a point with suspension components. There comes a time when engineers have to aid the suspension in keeping the car under control.

As competition increases technology will also increase with each team trying to get the edge on the competition. It is no surprise that drift cars (at least this one) are taking cues from their road race brothers where chassis, engine, suspension, and aerodynamic technology are just a step or so down from Formula 1.

This is also a great example of "function over form."I like that.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't JGTC a racing series not a drift series?

Last time I checked the D1 is a race series, while not conventional drive around in a giant circle or go from point A to point B in under -- seconds racing, but its racing all the same. In fact the D1 is part of the JGTC, and the SCCA has there Formula D. drifting is racing, just sideways .

As far as the wing goes, yeah its huge, yeah its ugly, but it's about functionality here not looks.

Oh and if I had time alone with that car, I would probably jizz in my pants once the start button was pushed...I can only imagine how sweet that engine must sound. Oh and as much as I will ostericized for saying this...I think Ralliart tops Nismo, but not by much...and Noone builds a hot racecar like a manufacturer racing team, unless your talking about Mugen...they just suck.

[slydin'240]

Ya but last time a seen a drift event I have not seen these cars drifting which is where the wing is from.http://images.google.com/images?q=jgtc&hl=en

Correct me if wrong but aren't these JGTC cars?

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Yes those are JGTC cars, but about half of the JGTC drivers are also on the professional drift circuit

Just check out Tanaguchi's website... Sorry its mostly in japanese
