Ebisu Drift Matsuri is a magical creation that is a true cornerstone of drifting. It's such an experience and, with international travelers being allowed into Japan again, this year's matsuri had some of the feelings of years prior. I hope it continues to recover in attendance and new chassis options continue to be sorted out. So eager to get a car and get some laps in at the next matsuri!
Really appreciate you liking the video and sharing the channel!

Cool video! The Z33 is for sure becoming the new missile at Ebisu. There is even a fleet of them for rent there now through SideX. The main reason why it's taken so long for them to take off is just price & aftermarket part support in Japan. Now that alot of the Japanese tuner shops are embracing the overseas part makers for these cars & becoming dealers for them it's just become viable. There has been a huge wave of them recently. Both the owner & manager of Ebisu recently picked up a few for some fun. But a JZX100 is still nostalgic & the best IMO. Mainly everyone wants to match with their friends so you can back to back tandem. It's no fun when your car is too slow or your friend has more grip & power. We all use the same chassis, setup & tire size so we can all go door to door with everyone there. It's like the unspoken gentleman's agreeement at Ebisu so you can drive with everyone in the trains.
.noice! Sammit .your comments will get old mates integument up...its nice if more TOP TEAR creates left comments on the on lower tear creates content ..

Much appreciated! Well said - definitely good additions to the discussion! I'm happy to hear the Z33 support is catching up - making drifting accessible/attainable for beginners is huge and the Z fills that void well. And for sure! Being able to drive with your friends is really what it's all about so that should definitely play into the decision (and what makes the Z more appealing for me).
In summary "Don't let you dreams be dreams, just do it!" Thanks for keeping it real for the people
💪
Much more concisely put. Haha. That's exactly it!
Great to see you enjoying and being proud of what you've achieved, looking forward to seeing more.
Oh, I couldn't agree more with the last point you touched upon; memories over materials, all day every day.
Really appreciate that! Certainly a long way to go but it feels like I'm getting there!
Super cool seeing you sync up with the other RUclipsr’s like Koda. Great to see a video posted again
Thanks man! Despite what the recent upload schedule says, I really enjoy making them! More to come. And to be honest, I just caught them on track in that one clip and was like I think that's Koda and Josh. haha. I had no idea where they were pitted or anything which kind of proves the point of how big the facility is. So much happening everywhere.
Well done for achieving what you set out to do in Japan!
Really appreciate that! Still a long ways to go in terms of language proficiency but super happy to be building base as we get settled here.
I dig this video!!
Oh nice! Glad you had a chance to watch it. Let's do it again!
Enjoying the commentary format! super cool covering this event from this format. Im working on my making my way over to experience motorsport in japan!
Really appreciate the feedback! I always like trying new things and experimenting so it's great to hear how it's received. And good on you! Holler if you have any questions as you go about planning - I don't have all the answers but I'll help where I can!
Dude this video was so incredibly informative, thank you for the genuine insight. Going to Matsuri is a dream of mine but it's a little way off so I'll live through you until then!
This format was so watchable and enjoyable man, keep it up.
Thanks man - you'll get there I know it and maybe I'll have a spare car or two by then! And I really appreciate the feedback! Drifting videos don't really perform well so I figured I'd try a different approach. Glad it worked out!
@@BRICKHOUSESPL For sure man, we'll definitely be hanging at the track together one day!
Keep up the awesome content dude.
Super video. Very informative. Thanks for your hard work. Looking forward to more in 2023!
Thank you for always watching! Let me know when you want to book a trip to Ebisu! Haha
@@BRICKHOUSESPL let me know when you want to book a raft float trip hahs
When Power Vehicles was the main support company for drifters at Ebisu they encouraged you to use cars that they had spares for. They didn’t have spares for 350Z so people didn’t use them. Now SideX uses 350Z they probably have plenty of spares available hence people are using them. 😎👍🇯🇵
What a mint video!
Really appreciate that - thank you!
It was definitely worth it! ❤️
Good for you for making the trip!!
Was wondering when we gonna get some more content. Happy holidays to you and the fam Steve!
Happy holidays there too! And yeah, a couple weeks of the C word right after Matsuri really threw things off schedule here. More stuff planned and DC2 parts arriving!
@@BRICKHOUSESPL ah man glad then you guys doing well. Looking forward to more content! Enjoyed this style of video too. Another weapon to your arsenal. Keep it coming!
@@martindeoliveira5128 really appreciate the feedback! I'll keep it in mind!
As someone who just visited Japan for the first time in Sept and Oct 22 I can say PLEASE Y'ALL do everything you can to visit. I started a automatic savings account so every month money was automatically deposited into it for spending while I'm there. I also got a new credit card that earns better travel points so my everyday purchases will go towards the tickets.
My 2nd trip to Japan, planned for Apr 24, will be Osaka, Tokyo and then north of Tokyo because that's where the tracks are!!!
Nice! That's the way to do it! Good for you and good tips for others!
@@BRICKHOUSESPL it definitely helped out. I had all my money set for the 3 weeks and it was a good way to budget.
Also crazy haha @1:38 the black C35 is a customer of mine and i now own the Blue A31 thsr was behind it haha.
Oh wow, haha, small [drift] world! haha
Merry Christmas everyone 🤙
Thank you! Same to you!
Great video - Seems like it's the opposite. In the states, Z33 is a great option as far as price. In Japan, it seems like Z33s really hold their value due to a lot of them being special versions. C35 is awesome; used to be way cheaper than JZX100 but now they are getting up there
Yeah, I think the tides are turning for the Z33s in terms of gaining in popularity and becoming a bit more affordable. There's at least a huge pool of cheap AT chassis to manual swap or pull spares from with the same spec engine. C35's have plenty of donor parts from all the grandpa spec chassis' running around, but the engines and missions are drying up much like JZXs so it's hard to see them as a great base for a fresh build (for a beginner). Really all just depends on what you're wanting and what your situation is. You're right though - the nice C35s are finally going up in value.
C35 was the first car I bought when I moved to Japan. It was 2016 and I payed 700 bucks delivered from Aichi to matsusaka.
Oh man, that's incredible. I do like them. I'm sure they keep creeping up in price as everything else becomes more scarce.
@@BRICKHOUSESPL totally, as you know like everything else drift able they are expensive now. Same with my s14. I got it for 1,700 out of nara prefecture in 2017. Getting ready to sell it now. So we can buy a house. Somewhere between matsusaka and takicho 👍
@@korosuchimu1479 oh man, those were the days! It's a good time to sell it! Good luck!
Subbed :))
Woot woot! Thanks for your support!!
So next year will be drift car project on the channel?
I hope so! But we'll see how things play out. I'm eager to drift again that's for sure.
How much is it to enter in the ebisu matsuri I’m living in Okinawa and plan to ship my car to mainland to drive in the 2023 fall matsuri I have a lot of other costs figured out but was wondering how much it is to attend the actual matsuri itself
Oh nice, good for you for making the effort! If you register early, it's 15,000 for the weekend and 20,000 day-of. Regular daily rates are like 4,000-9,000 depending on which courses you drive and half or full day. If you can stretch it out to come up a day or two early, it's pretty easy to double your track time for a fraction more money.
Not sure why the Z33 didn't take off... Maybe because it never came as a turbo, so people still think it costs a lot of money to get power from it? There's like 50 MT's on Goo right now for sub-¥1M. $2K for a Haltech Platinum plug in, and you're off to the races...literally. ECU and exhaust and a DE is at 300hp. Cheap turbo kit and the right tuner, and it'll do 500hp all day long on the stock engine. If I hadn't of bought the Yaris 😆
I'm not sure either. I always figured road tax was high being a 3.5L so that made them less attractive and they never dropped to silly cheap like they did in America a few years ago. And here in Japan they never really filled a "hole" in the market. Silvias/JZX/etc were cheap until the past few years so no one really needed to seek out "the next chassis" until recently whereas American's have always been on the hunt for something better ever since we got 240's with a truck engine. hahaha. But yeah, it's hard to not see them as the best bang for the buck platform at the moment. AT's are dirt cheap and plentiful for engines and spare parts. So much potential and a wayyy overbuilt drivetrain (excluding engine). Sell the Yaris! hahaha
Did my first Matsuri in 2009 and roughly 13 since. It was definitely better befor and got worst with shit attitude people and antics as social media blommed
I did my first in 2011. Those were the days of people writing off cars on Minami every other lap (not that much but you know what I mean). Having attended in 2021 before boarders opened back up and then again in 2022 with the boarders opened, it definitely had more energy in 2022. Kind of like 2011 which was nice to see. It used to be Noriyaro or Speedhunters articles that got people excited for matsuri, now it's social media. Same thing; just a louder speaker and more eyes on drifting is good for the track and all businesses involved. It's neat to see even with the current car prices, Ebisu is still a bucket list destination for enthusiasts and they do what they can to make the trip happen.
