I’m sure this is old news to some and since it’s been going around, I thought I’d put in my two cents and then some. In January of 2011, Nakamura was arrested for street drifting in the mountains of Osaka Prefecture. This led to his removal from D1GP on the grounds of staining the D1 image of “circuit-based drifting”. I personally see why said action was taken, but I don’t fully stand behind it. A vast majority, if not D1 as a whole, has had some affiliation with street drifting. It’s the origin and concrete stem from which drifting originated. My feelings and reaction to this unfortunate event were and are biased seeing as I don’t fully care for D1 in that it radiates an obvious sense of competition. I never thought the day would arrive when drifting was judged on such a massive scale that could undoubtedly be correlated to grand events such as the ones held in America. Nakamura knew the consequences of street drifting as he held his D1 license, but he was merely partaking in what got him there in the first place. Many could contest the actions of street drifting and for good reason, but it will always be the birth place and “holy grail” to those who truly love drifting. I might sound cliche and redundant, but I’m fine with that. I respect D1 and it’s group of drivers, but I do so from a withdrawn standpoint and view what seems to be the inevitable fact that drifting is breaking away from it’s primary construct. A large amount of adoration for Nakamura will always be reserved. That can be said for myself and hopefully many others.

Please, stop the madness!
An ode to things lost in time and consumed by social glamour.
As an individual with a large pallet of interest in correlation to the automotive word, I take pride in my immersion of things new and old. Like any selective person, there lays the human condition of “personal interest”. Speaking on my behalf, I side with all things equating to the “old school” way, so please understand the underlying biased appeal.
With the basis topic of “cars”, one could present an endless amount of information on par with their own preference. This ability alone, serves as the catalyst to the many groups and divisions found in the automotive world and should be treated with reverence and an open mind. What is selected and taken attraction to, is the foundation in which people construct chemistry within their own selves. To outwardly impede someone for the sole reason of conflicting actions, is to present a demeanor saturated in ignorance. Take pride in what you truly enjoy and attempt to simply embrace a portion of the opposite spectrum, rather than bashing said thing due to a lack of comprehension. With that being said, I’d like to present the issue of ignoring the past due to the sheer factor of laziness and depletion of foundations.
The photo above is of an E-AT civic, which holds the position of the best Honda ever made in my eyes, along with the EF. In 1984, Honda introduced it’s 1.6L twin-cam ZC heart. Sporting a 4-cylinder layout with 4 valves per cylinder, it produced 130hp at 6,800rpm. It was put to rest in 1991, but shortly revived for the limited edition EG5 Civic Si. A simple glance at it’s output would steer many in the other direction due to the heightened performance automobiles currently contain, but it’s not always about holding the “new and improved” title. Many, like myself, don’t confide in the figures advertised.
What some of us view, is the immense potential it, or any other vehicle posses. The above photo contains Ichishima’s spoon E-AT civic. It contained a 1.6L DOHC fuel injected ZC, that produced 230hp at 9800rpm. This particular E-AT, became the first civic to enter the Japan Touring Car Championship.
An apparent statement can be made that a large group of people seem to contain this notion, that older vehicles are incapable of maintaining a steady position among the masses in today’s society. This is only made possible by those who fail to realize the infrastructure in which vehicles were formed upon. My perception of cars, stems from the idea held by those who genuinely appreciate craftsmanship and the ability to create something that directly sustains the parallel relationship between interest, and self content. I display a frequent love for high powered cars that are in an entire different league when compared to this Civic, but I love it just the same. It’s not about being number one and appealing to the world, it’s about being number and appealing to yourself.
Yeah it would be considered Kouki aero and not Type-X but I just said it for ease of reference. Type-G and Type-R had no aero while Type-X and Type-S did. There was an option to receive aero each though.
It’s a culmination of various Aero but the ones that stand out the most to me are
- Type X
- GP Sports G-Four
- Full Vertex
- GP Sports G Sonic Evolution
- URAS Type-GT
I’ve answered this so many times but honestly,

Nope. The S15 was sold in Japan as an S15 Silvia while other countries such as Australia and New Zealand implemented the 200sx tag but it still retains it’s chassis code of being an S15. The 240sx is North American based being either an S13 or S14 with the exception of European countries calling it a 200sx.
The following are all under the S13 chassis -
- Silvia
- 180sx
- Sileighty
- 200sx
- 240sx
S14 -
- Silvia
- 200sx
- 240sx
S15 -
- Silvia
- 200sx
I thank you for being the select few who read my FAQ before asking a question. RPS13 is the chassis code for a 180sx with an SR20 but is not the designated code for the 240sx seeing as it came with a KA. It can however be used to distinguish a 240 with an SR20 seeing as R represents “fastback” and P represents “SR”. When people see a 240 fastback they always tend to say “RPS13” but in fact it could be an RHS13, RMS13, or KRMS13.
It’s a common mistake in which I don’t see the confusion but aside from the front end and rear end tail lights looking different, you’ll notice that the S12 has a slim body and isn’t as beefy. The main way to tell if you are hopelessly lost between the two is to view the corners of the rear side windows. As the window cuts off towards the back of the hatch you’ll notice a slight curve upwards on an AE86 while an S12 has a tight finish moving downwards.

There is so much missing but I though that I would go more in depth for the chassis that people get more confused with (older models) and set aside the wagons and estates.
