They were talking about the 240sx, not the Silvia.  In the US (240sx, not Silvia) they are not referred to as S14a and S14b, that's just how it goes, but as I said it's a common misconception.  You don't need to believe me, I don't care.

S14 is an S14. Besides engine options, steering wheel position and a few aestetic differences it's basically the same chassis.

Everyone today has pretty much adopted the Japanese naming system.  There use to be people who were confused about the whole Japanese naming system before the wide spread adoption. The whole "S14B" thing stems from "S14A" in the alphabetical sense. A is followed by B.

Different terms are used in different parts of the world and it really depends on how "JDM" you want to be...

To say it's only a matter of local terms between American and Japan means the term S14B is totally irrelevent. It's clearly a creation based on the confusion of the Japanese naming system. Heck back then 240SX owners didn't even used chassis codes. It was Japan who solely used chassis codes to identify cars.

No...but I won't go into it, as I said if you want to debate it PM me.

I'm pretty sure LE gave up on subbing Initial D

[DrDubbleB]

I highly doubt that.  It takes a lot of time to sub episodes and they are going to release two episodes at once.  People that release episodes in under a day after the RAW have large groups that work endlessly through the night, meaning that they have a lot of time on their hands.  Some people have school, jobs and lives outside of subbing episodes for other people.  Cut them some slack. ^^

I think its more likly they are just quite busy. If you havent knoticed its been a fair few days since their last release of any anime, not just Initial D thats suffering.

ya going back on the thing about the octane and stuff for gas. here on the west coast(namely cali) we have 87 89 and 91 but we also have racing fuel here that is rated at 103 or 104 i forrgot which but only SOME gas stations carry it.
and ya also about the c33 laurel i understand taht its all about the driver its just for a 4 door car that is pretty heavy drifting like any silvia or skyline is just amazing.

dunno if i am allowed to talk about other fansub releases or not, but nanashi has started on episode 5, they do FMA pretty fast, so i would expect IDep5 to come out soon.

the car has an 11k redline and that  it pulls out 240 bhp but the thing that i want to know is how much torque that badboy is pulling out.
-cold

At 240bhp, at 11000 RPM, Torque can be calculated by the formula T=(30xWatts)/(RPMxPi) - 1Hp = 750W.

240BHP ~ 180000 Watts.

So, that's about 157Nm.

That's not a lot, but if you can get the engine revving that high, you can do other stuff like reduce the diff ratio to get more torque at the wheels.

Remember that normally aspirated also... So don't compare it to a turbo vehicle torque at much lower RPM

xyz.

p.s. I came to this forum to see when the next release of the fansub might be... I was hoping someone may have posted the expected release of Ep 5 & 6. I guess I'm not going to find out.  Still, I'll take a moment to thank LE for the great job they are doing

[GilliamII]

*sigh*

I'm getting this feeling that by the time L-E has 5 & 6 for us people in Japan will be watching 7 & 8.  I think I read somewhere back in these many many pages that they were waiting for people to do "what they promised to do" or something of that nature.  I don't so much care what or why it is, but I do wish that they would at least fill us in on what all is happening with the delay.  I haven't read all 247 previous posts so if it has been said earlier somewhere feel free to point me in the right direction.

Delays I can handle.  I am a patient person but I'd really love some communication from the L-E team on what is happening.

chassis and numbers and letters.
R32, R33, R34.  R35?  G35.  

whats the link between the R- thirty series and the G35 that everyone and their baby's babies seem to own round here?

PS.  This forum is bout initial d and the cars being talked about are considered drift cars so we're not off topic.  

[Mr._Bunta]

Im with you GilliamII, I would much rather have some info on the situation instead of sitting here wondering what's going on.


I can't take this for granted though, it is free, they are doing it out of their own will, and I we should be patient as possible.... But if your company is based on customer reputation's and great success I don't think there would be a reason to slack. I do appreciate what they are doing in a big way.

[DARCnarc]

does it seem like to everyone else that for all the otha episodes heaps of different fansubbers released episodes within a couple of days and as soon as they gave up coz every1 was dl'ing live-evil, there was suddenly this drought where its been close to a month and no fansub of even one episode has come out

conspiracy anyone?  -- strangely reminiscent of big business flooding the market with cheap prices, forcin smaller more vulnerable opposition out of the way, then hikin up the prices,  leading to the misery of all

[scotty305]

what are you hoping to accomplish, DARCnarc?

College classes are more important than fansubbing, I'm glad live-evil realizes this.

-s-

[DARCnarc]

missin the point here scotty, its all about liberating the downtrodden, rectifying past mistakes and the sweetness which comes to everyone hearts from watching anime

oh and ps, all u need is lecture notes, goin to the actual "college" is unneccessary.

In Japan Skylines are not only produced in the form of a GT-R or most commonly known here as the R32, 33, and 34...

an example would be the ER34... it is a rear wheel drive Skyline with the same body as a R34... it is also a 5 speed car compared to the 6 on the R34...

Nissan officially ended the era of the strong RB series of engines and cars as soon as the gentlemen's agreement of cars not exceeding 276hp if i remember correctly... was ended... which means the termination of the Skyline GT-R R34...

then in 2002 i believe they released the new heir of the RB series.. the VQ... which is in the Infiniti G35's here in america and in the Skylines in Japan... which really actually is a mix of the 350z and G35 body if i remember right...

the New GT-R is slated to be released in 2007? with the VQ under its belt... it will have atleast 450hp and be mean competitors to Porshes
