if im not mistaken also...takumi's dad bunta besides tuning the car himself also has i believe an APEX-integration exhaust also. i could be wrong though. but you are right that 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 and that is it 240bhp on normal pump gas, racing gas, or methanol.
just a question

o and reading up on the old posts...i was looking at the ff post to be exact. some companies convert integras to rwd by using an identical i believe hona pilot rearend and everything so it makes it able to drift but its not to good. like for the ultimate drift machine in the states get a 240sx but if you are in japan get an c33 laurel i mean for a four door car this drifts better than ive seen some skylines and 240's drift.
maybe its the different weight distribution but im not sure. got to research it.

p.s. this car has got the skyline rb20det motor in it so its got enough juice.

you say that  this c33 laurel that you've seen drifts better than some skylines and 240sx's, and that it's got a rb20det motor? i rekon that a car is as good as the driver, and to master drifting you have to master the car itself.  Just look at the AE86 that Takumi drives beats everything and anything

Now whenever one of my friends is driving and they ask if there are speed cameras in the area, I just say yes lol, otherwise they will go 100km over the speed limit lol

in the anime... it runs on premium fuel... which is 108 octane... but in japan they run on a different octane scale so i would think it is anywhere between 94-100 octane fuel here... in other words... its normal pump if it is rated 94 octane... and its racing gas if its above 94...

*note 94 octane can be found in VERY few states... east coast gets lucky with 93 but sadly west coast gets 91

Though I don't believe there should be a car discussion in the middle of the Initial D thread, to set the record straight there's no such thing as an S14a.  The two models are an S14 ( 95-96 ) and an S14b ( 97-98 ).  It's a common misconception though.

Keep up the good work, Live Evil, I can't wait for the new episodes to come out! ^^

Edited to get rid of that stupid smiley that was put in after the 98. -.-'

Umm.. yes there is... it's refered to as the S14a (96.6~) sometimes in Japan. The whole S14b came from Americans to denote order in the alphabetical order. While in Japan S14a  is short for S14 After Manufacter Change. I've also seen S14 M/C used more frequently.

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.

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

Meh, I'm not going to post on the topic of 240's anymore, this is not a debate for cars, it's a thread for the wonderful show Initial D.  Want to debate some more?  Take it up with me in a PM.

THANK YOU Live Evil!!!!

I LOVE Initial D and without you guys and the fansubs all i'd have to watch is the first few episodes of the first stage that are still being released by TokyoPop here is the US. Keep up the awesome work!! I can't wait til the fansubs for Project D episodes 5 and 6 are released!!

i thought the 240sx was the 2nd best drift car in the states and the Silvia S15 was better. i could be wrong.

i have a theory about initial d. live evil has ep 5 and 6 subbed and everything. but wount release it cuz we asked for it too much.

[xiaochefy]

heh thats cool ~

[crazysmoke]

man alot of ppl signed up for the forum waiting for initial d. i'm one of them.

[Red_Suns_FC3S]

patience everyone, patience. I'm just as antsy as you guys. Just gotta hold out. Never know maybe one of the mods could give us an update if they have some time. But, I'll just wait a little more patiently. A lot of you sound like your on withdrawl from crack or something... yikes. Just relax. In alll good time will have it.

[Mr._Bunta]

I just joined to let the mod's and editors of this live-evil site(that rocks by the way) that your did a great job with Episode's 1-4 of the Initial D 4th stage.... BUT PLEASE hurry and Sub ep5-6 I am going insane, like red-suns said.. it's like we are having a withdrawl from crack.. and thought I have never done it, I think this could be like it.  PLEASE HURRY, not trying to be an ass, but I can't take it! just work on initial D.. hahaha.

I know I know I said I wouldn't post on this topic anymore, but the Nissan family runs through my veins and I just can't help myself sometimes...

The 240sx is considered by many to be the American Silvia.  The true Silvia, however, was never sold domestically.  The S15 (which was never offered in a 240sx equivalent version) did look very nice, but it is not generally considered the overall best of the Silvia line.

Anyways, it's late and I'm slightly tipsy atm so I"m going to stop while I still (hopefullY) make a little bit of sense.
