Didn't (predominantly front drive) handbrake drifting start in residential Japan before any organized rear drive competition events came about? I may be dead wrong. (or at least set ablaze) But oh well.

Not that it makes this graphical marvel of rice any less Hollywood logical.

not that any one cares, but on the subject of rice/drifting bandwagon, there is supposed to be an Initial D live action movie,(not HK) made in the US in the works, one of the guys at Suncoast told me when i was getting more bmi crap.

I thought drifting required two things... skill and rear wheel drive? Why remove the rear wheel drive? You can't drift that way. All subaru drift cars are rear wheel drive.

If they did remove the rear drive shaft, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to convert it back. I wonder if this car is street legal? They never mention it. The could have shipped it over without getting it converted because they used it for racing purposes. This would be a good buy if you have connections in Japan so you can get the missing parts.

You can drift a FF but it takes a little different technique.

The seller seems pretty legit, been on ebay a few years and bought a crashed SRT-10 Ram for 25k back in August and got good feedback.

I highly doubt the car is street legal. The movie companies are not going to shell out $80 to 100k to legalize a car just to beat on it when they can bring them in for a fraction less.

Basically, I interpreted the offer as own a piece of movie memoribilia for (Buy it now price $60k).

Does the car come with the script and toys? I get upset when they don't put a toy in my happy meal. It hade better have those extras.

There have been hundreds, probably even thousands, of modified Skylines that are better-looking than that. Did anybody read the Turbo Magazine where they drove Paul Walker's personal R34? Tomei shortblock, HKS twin turbos, Tomei ECU, etc. Only made (if I remember) 415whp, and the staff blew the motor while they were testing it Also had Prodrive wheels Good job, Paul.
