180SX RPS13

Video: drifting on Kurume in 1991

No votes yet

I think these three videos are about the earliest drift videos to be found on Youtube so far!
Be prepared for an overkill of Hakosuka Skylines, Corolla Levin AE86s and Sprinter Trueno AE86s, (brand new) Nissan Silvia and 180SX S13s, Mazda FCs, MR2 AW11s, Isuzu Gemini, Eunos Roadster, Lancer Turbo, Toyota Carina and even an Isuzu Piazza right at the beginning! Two of the videos are shot on the pass next to Kurume (Fukuokai) and the other one on Yz circuit in Mizunami!

In this second video it really shows how dangerous the drifts of these guys actually were: I stopped counting after the tenth near accident with oncoming traffic!
Other two drift videos on the next page!


WTF: Nissan Chaser RPS13

Creds go to RA64Freddy for finding this weird Toyota Chaser JZX100 nosejob on a Nissan 180SX RPS13:
Nissan RPS13 Chaser

It kind of resembles a Sil80 but then much better looking IMO. Now should it be called a Chas80 or rather a 180X?


New years resolution: pay respect to your old RPS13!

Remember the tire-change-by-hand-guy? Well, I found his blog some time ago and it turns out he is actually called Bomber Yamamotoand appears frequently in JDM Option and Option2 videos. So naturally I'm a frequent follower of his blog nowadays. ;)

Anyways, he had a very weird new years resolution:
Bomber's old Nissan 180SX RPS13
Bomber's old Nissan 180SX RPS13

He paid his respects to his old (deteriorating) 180SX to have a safe (driving) year!

I hope for him it will actually work. :)


Tilt-shifted family picture of the S chassis

I found this cozy tilt-shifted family photo on RA64Freddy's blog:

The picture itself would have been great by itself, but the tilt-shift effect just shifts the picture to sheer brilliance! It almost looks like all of them are incredibly detailed scale models! ;)

I was able to track the original down to Oh Mai Googles Deviantart page.

WTF: Masato Kawabata's cornering

Your rating: None Average: 5 (2 votes)

When I saw this video the first time I thought the video was about Masato Kawabata's 180SX RPS13 spinning while initiating the drift. But then all of a sudden the WTF!? moment was there!

Amazing cornering abilities! ヽ(´▽`)/
Masato Kawabata ddi this in the fourth round of the D1GP in Okayama where he received the full 100 points from all judges!
