@@fabrb26 me drifting an electric car. The Scene might be almost dead in many countrys, but thats an even better reason to make a new version. To keep the scene alive!
That signal sound triggered my muscle memory and i looked for my phone automatically, only to realize ive last heard that sound like 12 years ago. I havent even realized we stopped hearing that sound and now i need to know why.
Damn, I remember watching this back in the day. I also remember attending one of the drift days at that same location and recognising you from this exact DVD. I also, also remember one of my mates at the time that borrowed that DVD, practised said techniques down in the 'Nasho' one night and subsequently backing his R33 into a tree. It wasnt too bad and we fixed it. I think his pride took most of the impact. Good times..
That interference noise is almost nostalgic at this point. lol I could be in an online game lobby, and know when I'm getting a phone call before it actually gets to my phone. xD
This is why Alexi is who he is, not an imitator & a total OG legend!!! I was right there with you, own every issue HPI & Drift Battle mag/DVD. I'd eat, sleep, & breath it! (still do😅) Listened to you religiously on this DVD, tried to set-up my own 180SX same as yours back then.
I was watching this on my phone using headphones and when I heard the cracking noise I thought I was gonna receive a call. Thanks for making me feel old 😂
I also started getting emotional during this video, all those shots of Oran Park make me miss it more than anywhere. Best motorsport facility in Australia by a long way. I remember ducking debris from cars crashing many times because you could get so close to the track. Oran Park town can EAD
Alexi you're an OG in so many ways. Just by watching this old tutorial we can appreciate the spirit of the original Noriyaro... it's just more polished and experienced these days. Loved this format of reviewing a video of yourself 😆 I think you did pretty well back then! I believe you were chosen to be an ambassador of drift and JDM car culture, nobody has your unique style. And yes, we need an modern version of this!
This is a window for Americans into Australian Youth. More specifically the Ethnic Car Cult side, full of every Commodore ever made, from rotary conversions to cheap Berlina's all while getting defected every three weeks. I miss being a teenager... and I miss my old VT Commodore. It was a piece of junk... BUT IT WAS MY PIECE OF JUNK. So many good times in that car.
i was almost exactly half old than now :D (in 2005) These retro-style vids are very good. Feel nostalgic and feel a bit sad.. these was simplier times.. and the the 'electro cricket' (mobile aply bugging) is soo 2000's :D
This takes me back, I loved Drift battle and HPI! They were sold here in NZ and were way more JDM than other mags available here(although JDM wasn't really a thing then) I did the 180 too, r33 gtr wheels, nardi deep corn and a pair of brixs, perfection!
Alexi giving good tips and amazing explanation. and me here taking notes as if it would change the fact that my car has less than 100 hp and a open diff.
Oh man! the nostalgia! When I was 17 I stumbled on this video.. at the time I had a NA 180sx, two other friends had 180sx's DET and another mate with a Honda civic who was the camera car. We would constantly watch this video over and over and head out and learn off this video! every weekend we go out and find a traffic cone on the road and take it and head off to industrial areas to practice. the amount of trouble we got into though, it was so worth it. You and Jesse were absolute gods to us ahahaha. Those late night kebab runs after a street sesh, you were the only prime topic we would talk about the entire night.. unfortunately since then the boys have parted and gone their own ways but the most important thing was we were so happy. we believed damaging our cars during street practice was a rite of passage and we kept them that way, it gave our cars 'character' we're in our 30s now and every few months we would catch up and still talk about you and the times we did some really questionable things with our cars. I'm so happy you're still doin what you're doin man! hopefully you'll make another tutorial for the new gens who will share the happiness we did. Keep up the awesome work!
I actually thought I was getting a text as that noise happened ... hahaha. is it just me, or does this still happen in certain instances? I swear it still happens to me with certain electronics / speaker combos. edit: any time i need to laugh, I watch those "leaving a car show" videos. amazing stuff.
Hell yeah, i remember this haha, i remember taking that dvd to school and watching it on the tv trolley one rainy lunchtime 😂 there were only 3 of us out of the whole year level watching it, everyone else was talking, mostly about phones 😂
18:55 this is still done on racing/track day motorcycles to prevent potential fluid spill (usually with a wrist sweat band). Riding over spilt brake fluid on a motorcycle is scary and obviously dangerous.
OP North is still my favourite out of all the tracks. So many track days with Initial Drift that we took for granted at the time. Such a shame what happened to it.
I thought I’d never find that cellphone interference sound again! Brings back memories of playing RuneScape all day in the summer while the parents were at work. They’d leave an extra beater cellphone at home to keep in touch with me throughout the day. I always left it right next to the computer speakers
The saddest thing about this video is that it looks like it was recorded at Oran Park, one of the best circuits in Australia that was sadly torn down a few years ago to make space for housing development. Same fate as Riverside in the US, which was demolished to make space for malls, parking lots and all of that rubbish.
Been drifting on the simulator for a couple years now, letting the steering wheel self align and catch it is the most natural way i found when learning drifting. When i started learning i never let go of the wheel entirely but i let it instead slip it through my fingers while still keeping a light amount of hand grip on it so i could feel when it's the right time to gently clench my hands and catch it. After a bit of practice and getting used to it, you can be smoother and smoother by just adjusting your hands pressure on the wheel as it spins and self aligns during the drift. This is the kind of technique that comes most natural on drift cars and tight mountain roads, while if i were racing on faster but still twisty roads i would instead keep a good hold of the wheel and feel the tire grip that way, using throttle and brake to move the car weight around and initiate the 4 wheel drift that way instead of going for max angle, so one technique per kind of driving. i'm no pro by any means and so far i have experience only in the sim but man that's fun, my favourite combo is the good old 86 for angle and something like a 70's mustang for faster and longer slides but with less angle on the Targa Florio map on AC. 70+km of twisty roads, no worries for fuel, crashing or the sorts, just pure fun, i highly recommend it.
@@darksenshi1337 only sim game ive really played is assetto corsa modded but its great ive gotten pretty good at drifting and i think you should give it a try
@@darksenshi1337 assetto corsa is the go to for drifting but also CarX, BeamNG are very good. Just know that direct drive wheels don't work properly on CarX but if you have a Logitech or thrust master, you're golden. Try different cars, the Toyota ae86 with the drift tune that comes as default in AC is a great place to start learning, jump into the drift map and practice there. BeamNG is significantly more difficult because you have also extensive damage simulation but it can be very rewarding once you start getting how the cars behave and it's super fun even when you end up wrapping your car around a tree. Look for ctoretto drifting tutorials, the dude explains pretty well the basics. Another one worth watching is TheSimRacingBloke (TSB) for expainations of the car dynamics. If you've raced F1 you might know how do drive to the limit of grip and how to rotate the car in corners with brake and throttle control, the next step would be intentionally brake traction and send it sideways and learn how to countersteer to hold angle. Effectively what you're doing with drifting is steering the cars with brake and throttle to shift weight while the steering is for direction and adjusting the trajectory. Low powered cars like the AE86 are the best to start learning, then once you get the hang of it you can try higher powered cars (300+ hp) for bigger angle, quicker transitions etc.
I wasnt around in 2005 but I do remember seeing this dvd when I was younger for some reason I dont know if it was just reposted ALOT online back in 2012 or what
14:08 Using high caster angle and modified suspension alignment to self steer. Slipping the rears will allow the caster to do it's thing. - That's why they just give minimal input.
I still have all my HPI and Drift Battle mags/ DVDs (including DB01) even the Dress shirts HPI and Drift Battle released to subscribers 🤣 Hard Tuned Imports (the DVDs) were also benchmarks back in the day. it was the golden era of the Australian Import/Drift scene Ben Ellis and Yourself were a big part of it Alexi ❤️
This is why I call you an Og in the Automotive world 😊, Might car mods are the ogs of Automotive RUclips but you wer making dvds long b4 they started 👌💯🤙
Oh man, I have a very large collection of HPI magazines still. Driftbattle, auto salon magazine etc. Thanks 🙏 for this upload, really cool nostalgic vibes 🎉❤
Omg Alexi. I still have all my original Hpi magazines (from very first issue), drift battle & zoom magazines as well. The company I worked for at the time advertised in all the mags being the official Australian Motul oils importer - used to sponsor a bunch of well known, and not-so-well known Aussie drifters around the country. I was highly involved in the products and promotion side of the company and went to bucket loads of motorsport events (on company dime & time!). Miss those days (I've just nudged over 50) and it was a great time in Australia for Japanese imports and drifting...
I hope this is the prologue to the new version of the video. I'm looking forward to seeing it! I believe that it will be very useful, considering all your experience that you have gained over the years! also, it is so fun to see a smile on your face as you see your old self! it brings so much joy 'cause of nostalgia I think, and for us it brings so much joy because of how cute you are haha! we need a modern version of a drifting lesson video! (especially, if it is possible, using a low-powered cars)
I have a collection of those drift battle magazines I used to go searching for them in my kp60 with a sick Kenwood sound system lol as hardly anyone stocked them. It Was where I first discovered Nigel Petrie and his black 180.
Drift Battle magazines!! I used to love reading those on the Toilet, an drifting a CA18 at Oran park. Man, that is some goooood, wholesome Nostalgia right there. I seriously miss this era of drift. Funny you should mention the oil going on the Turbo potentially starting a fire an the Battery shorting out. I had both these things happen to my car when learning to drift 😬🤐😂 I had one of those Supercheap plastic Battery boxes in the boot of my car, which was fine, initially, but when i started getting better an my entry speed increased to, ill say, a socially acceptable level, one day the Battery escaped an ended up on the other side of the boot. I was actually lucky it didnt go through the quarter window on the other side.
0:12 Thanks for making me feel old. The white cargo pants was a interesting choice. The OG accent sounds fine to me. Aaggggh, I know that static sound. I quite enjoyed this old video. Modern version of this would be cool.
Now I feel old I used to go to the Friday night Oran park drift days and I remember getting told of by you cause me and my mate kept drifting when someone had spun out, good old days
This was so rad I bought a heap of drift battle mags back in the day I remember I watch this video about 10x in my young teenage years lol really cool blast from the past the drift battle budget builds were the sickest!!
Couldn’t agree more with the LSD comment! I started with a welded and switched to a Kaaz 2-way after about a year and the level of control is totally different! LSD has helped save me a couple times on the wet especially.
Watch the original video on RUclips here: ruclips.net/video/dCGyDAj_dYw/видео.html
This and Drift Bible is all you need to be a pro drifter 🍻
If you make a modern version, try to re-create that hair cut!
I liked that vid ten years ago lol
I remember watching this year's ago 😅
do the revision in 2023
We definitely need a modern version!
1000%
Drift scene is almost dead in many country now due to massive regulation & punishment revision. It's all about Electric car rocket launch upgrade now
@@fabrb26 me drifting an electric car. The Scene might be almost dead in many countrys, but thats an even better reason to make a new version. To keep the scene alive!
Yes!
And Alexi needs a new hair style.. Sorry Alexi...
love how alexi's gotten to the point where there's alexi lore, and this is just the directors cut
what a fancy way to call him old!
😂😂
Alexi lore, lmbo!! 😂
There has always been Alexi lore, he's just revisiting it now.
life be like that some times
Dude, making that road animation but in 2005 would've been hardcore. I struggled to model a fish in Maya for Uni last year 😂
I started on Maya 3.0 on an SGI Irix box 😆
3D Studio max is what I learnt. Wouldn't have the patience for it now.
@@gav240z maya is a whole different animal, 3ds is much easier to learn
Totally reminds me of the Initial D animations!
@@noriyaro where the hell did you get an SGI from?
Instructions unclear my car is now stuck in a tree thanks alot Alexi
Painfully unfunny
So what you're saying is that you have the best spectator spot at the track?
fuckin 2005 alexei
step tree?
Hahaha
This fashion style has definitely come back, baggy cargo pants in bold colors and printed long sleeve tees.
I know i was just thinking about it. I love this fashion style it’s how I dress almost every day
Still got this DVD dude, remember watching back as a 7 year old, let alone drifting at drift cadet with you, mad times
That signal sound triggered my muscle memory and i looked for my phone automatically, only to realize ive last heard that sound like 12 years ago. I havent even realized we stopped hearing that sound and now i need to know why.
if anyone is curious this track does exist on assetto corsa!
Uau
name?
Damn, I remember watching this back in the day.

Good times..
this man has been drifting longer than i’ve been alive cheers
Making ME feel old- god damn
The video is as old as me 😅
😮
Oh wow, Noriyaro had a mullet back in the day.
Drift Aussie Jesus
I remember these. So many memories.
You fitted up a sil80 with a diff and taught a guy to drift.
And your trip to Japan in HPI 10. One of my faves
That interference noise is almost nostalgic at this point. lol I could be in an online game lobby, and know when I'm getting a phone call before it actually gets to my phone. xD
This oscillation between nods of approval and concerned looks is golden, great content as usual !
Wow. This was absolutely spectacular, amazing! One of your best episodes ever! Waiting for the modern version with the S15 :)
We were really lucky to have HPI, Zoom and Drift Battle magazines back in the day. R.I.P Express Publications
Subscriptions were the key. I still have my digital tyre gauge that I got from one of them.
This is why Alexi is who he is, not an imitator & a total OG legend!!!
I was right there with you, own every issue HPI & Drift Battle mag/DVD. I'd eat, sleep, & breath it! (still do😅)

I think phones can still cause interference, but that sound was from the GSM network phones everyone had back then before 3G came out.
14:36 A modern lesson from Alexi on how to drift would be awesome !
I actually learned how to drift from this old video on my CA18 powered S13. Thank you very much for creating this back then!

I like how kind you are about 25 year old Alexi, not saying you did anything wrong… it’s just nice to watch and yeah modern version would be cool 👌🏼
I had this back in the day. such a good magazine. good memories!
Yes would love a modern version of this Alexi! I'm Aussie and remember watching the original when it come out, good times!
Oran Park was a sweeeet track for a track day. That exit of the final turn against the concrete wall was real
I was a HUGE fan on the HPI magazines and DVDs back in the day. I never missed a publication and was sad to see it go. Thanks for the memories.
Best era in my opinion. I had all the magazines and DVDs.
That was my Purple SR20 AE86 on the Drift Battle, sooo awesome
@4:56 That speaker interference noise I am so familiar with it. I am so happy you stopped to bring it up and I was not the only one to remember it. 🤣🤣
I’m going to say that the 2005 style is the best style of drifting, since I was born that year!
Sorry if I’m making anyone here feel old…
I remember watching this 10 years ago when first getting into drifting, actually helped!
teach us how to do real backies *glances in sammits direction*
I wasnt around in 2005 but I do remember seeing this dvd when I was younger for some reason
