Ziko: Hello guys Welcome to Garasi Drift
Dipo: and we are in Japan again for an automotive trip
Dipo: and this time we are at a secret meet-up somewhere in Tokyo which is secret because it is secret
Ziko: and not only meet-ups, we will also be drifting again in Japan
as usual, we will show you what cars are here
firstly, there is an Altezza which looks like this car is used for street drift because if I look at the settings the tires are out and the interior already uses a roll bar
very interesting
but there is a more interesting car, which is the S15 with a stance style
these wheels are one of my dream wheels and are used here
these wheels are really suitable for use on the S15
and I think the low is just right
and this is one of the sleekest S15s I've ever seen in Japan
and there are cars that are no less cool
there is an R35 which has a wide-body
use gold Advan GT wheels
perfect combination
the car is blue
the wheels are gold
and the modifications are not excessive
just added a canard
add wide body
the car is still nice to look at the car is still good for daily use
so there are several cars that have been modified in a very racing car style
there are cars with a half-racing style
some are stance
basically, everything is complete
it's all JDM here
there is a Chaser
there is even an Uras that has just had the body kit installed
this car hasn't even been painted yet
as usual, it's normal to see the R34 in Japan
every meet there must be R34, R33, and R32
but what's unique about this blue R34 is that the license plate is 34 too
and for the gray R33, the license plate is 33 too
cool
it turns out that many cars here have the modification of unpainted bumpers
I don't know why
I find it strange
but yeah, never mind
let's just look at another car
as I said earlier, there are a lot of R34s here
this car even has a license plate of R34
looks like there's a street drift S15 too
the wheels are the same as my S15
but honestly my S15 is neater than the S15s here
next, next to Silvia is the duo Stagea
Stagea is a Nissan whose front end is usually converted to use GTR R34 headlights
if the original is like this
it's just normal
so, if I had a car in Japan, one of the cars I would want to use daily would be this car
this car is a Lexus RC F
in my opinion, even without modifying the car, the car is already cool
the shape of the car is futuristic
but in my opinion, the car here is the coolest, the RC F with modifications that really suit my taste
only use carbon lip on the front
then the engine hood was replaced with a half-carbon one
the wheels are Advan GT
the brakes are painted yellow
fix, one day if I live in Japan, I have to have a car like this
and there is the Evo Wagon, just like the car we reviewed at Garasi Drift
I really like the Evo Wagon because it's really different from the usual Evo
and if we look at the front
from the front, it's the same as Evo in general
but I really like the wheels used by this Evo
and in front of the Evo Wagon, there are two Supras that have a really Fast & Furious vibe because they use neon
and these two Supras are really cool
here is the RX7
but what caught my attention was the car behind it
a Kei car but made wide-body
the wheels are very small
let's take a closer look
it looks like the wheels are 13 inches
the wheels are very small
very funny the modification is neat
the back has a roll bar
there's a duck
the license plate is small
funny
because we were in the parking lot, the vibes were really like Tokyo Drift which had scenes of drifting and cars crashing
plus there are cars that use neon like this
I swear, this is a low R34 and has been modified to use neon so it's cool
so here, even though the car is off, the neon is on
the battery can be drained later
next to the neon R34, there is a white S15 which is quite clean too
but it turns out that if you look closely, the bodies of the cars here are a bit sloppy
like this side skirt, if it gets in the shadow it looks a bit uneven
so maybe people here prioritize function rather than detail
but overall cool
the combination is just right
the wheels are good
the fitment is okay the body kit also fits
what is clear is that Japanese people have good taste
there is a taxi here
but the taxi is an Integra
cool
is it a real taxi?
it’s like a fake taxi
well, hopefully, those of you who watch this video can feel the vibe of automotive traveling in Japan, at a meet-up like this
and hopefully, those of you who watch it will one day be able to travel to Japan, to cool places, that are really automotive
amen
Dipo: so actually the secret meet-up location is on the rooftop
Dipo: but because it was too dark we couldn't go there
Dipo: even though the car is really cool
Ziko: yes, I'm a bit confused too
Ziko: the car is cool but the place above is dark
Ziko: we can't see
Dipo: but above we met a lot of world automotive leaders, right? Ziko: yes
Dipo: there's Hert from Hoonigan, where he's no longer in Hoonigan now
Dipo: then we had time to take photos with Emelia Hartford
Ziko: Wow, that's really great
Ziko: and because it was quite late and many people had gone home
Dipo: we will continue too
Ziko: We continue to the Liberty Walk meet-up
Ziko: this is a special meet-up for Liberty Walk body kit owners
Dipo: that means you can't take part in this meet-up
Ziko: luckily, my brother is one of the owners of the Liberty Walk body kit
I'm in Harajuku now
I split with Ziko
I will come to the Liberty Walk event at Liberty Walk Harajuku
and you must have seen here that there are really cool cars
there's GTR
there is the Supra Liberty Walk
and this event is closed to Liberty Walk body kit owners from all over the world who are gathered here
that's why it's so busy
apart from the Supra and GTR, the Huracan has just arrived
and this is a Huracan that uses Liberty Walk and a left-handed drive
so it's a left-hand drive car
it's a bit unique here
even though the Huracan has the right-hand drive version
and this car is looking for parking
and because Harajuku is not a big place
so this event is making a bit of a traffic jam
crazy
the vibes are really exciting
it really feels like the Japanese car scene
because I chatted with people from Australia, the US, Canada, and all over the world who were here
Liberty Walk fans and owners all gather here
and that was actually after it snowed
so it's really cold here
but what makes it cool is that the car is wet, everything looks wet, so if we make a video it will have a more street feel
Ziko: We have arrived at the Mobara Twin Circuit
Dipo: this is a drifting practice event with Vertex
Dipo: even though I don't use Vertex anymore, I can still join in
Ziko: I, Dipo, Akbar Rais, and Bimo will also practice drifting using this car
Ziko: so we rented a car by Toshi
Ziko: so this is Toshi's paddock
Ziko: there's one car from Chase Bays too
Ziko: and basically we will use one car for 4 people
Dipo: basically I was the last one to drive
Dipo: because if I damage the car again, no one else can drive
Dipo: but I have no intention of damaging the car
Ziko: we are here to race with professional drifters Dipo: yes
Ziko: there's Taniguchi
Dipo: there's Taniguchi
Ziko: then there is also Ken Nomura
Ziko: there's Ueno
Dipo: Vertex Ziko: Toshi
Ziko: and there are several classes here
Ziko: so I entered the Pro class
Ziko: Dipo entered the Pro 2 class
Ziko: why is it so?
Ziko: because there's only one car, we have to take turns using the car
Ziko: so now is the time for Toshi and I to practice
Ziko: let's see first
Ziko: it's easy
Ziko: he said the track was easier than Bihoku
Dipo: yes, I hope everyone is safe
Ziko: amen
Ziko: hopefully everything goes smoothly until we finish the event
Dipo: yes, basically I won't crash this time
Ziko: let's try
so here is the car
this is an SX and the front is an S13
full black
the front part was destroyed, it looked like it was a car used for practice
and the setup of this car is more or less the same as Toshi's car
and all the tires use Valino
definitely grip
the engine is SR20
the undercarriage is N-Style
just look, the rear is really destroyed too
so you could say this car is a missile car
because the car was destroyed
and now we are preparing the cameras first
so that after this I can immediately record a video and practice straight away
now let's just get into the car
and we have just been given racing gloves from Toshi, the brand is AP Racing
if you want it, just check the website
it really matches my purple helmet and purple gloves
and because this is just a practice event, we don't have to wear racing suits
the important thing is to wear long sleeves
and because the car is an SX, it should feel the same
Dipo: this should be the same as our car Ziko: yes
Dipo: but the engine is SR
Ziko: yes, SR engine
he said the angle was quite big
let's just start the car straight away
the handbrake is still the original
Dipo: the brakes should be good
it should be good
let's try starting the car
Dipo: good luck bro
thank you
we just finished testing the car
now it's Akbar and Dipo's turn
and the car is quite good
like using Silvia
yes, the car is a Silvia
the angle is big
but the power is just lacking
and the handbrake doesn't good
according to Toshi, the brakes aren't good because the weather here is too cold
so we have to warm up the brakes first
I also had to warm up the tires first because the tires were very cold and I didn't feel the grip at all
but overall the event was really fun
we can freely practice together with others
not started one by one but released together
it's a different experience
the adrenaline was quite high because other people were sticking behind us
and what's interesting about this event is that the current session has a taxi drift
even if the audience doesn't know the drifter, the audience who want to take part can register
after that, take part in a random taxi drift with whoever it is
and interestingly, this can be imitated in Indonesia, a training event and a taxi drift as well
and now, while we wait for my and Dipo's turn, let's just have a look at any cars here
and to see who is playing at this Vertex event?
there are lots of JDM cars here that are rarely seen in Indonesia
one of them is Soarer Vertex
there used to be people using this car in Indonesia but now there aren't any
but there is something more special, let's see it here
this is Nobuteru Taniguchi's car
180SX used for practice
and this car uses a Wisteria body kit
You could say this is the newest body kit for the 180SX
the livery is camo
and this car is legendary because the drifter is also very legendary, which is Nobuteru Taniguchi
We also chatted with Nobuteru earlier
we will invite him to Indonesia
hopefully, he wants to be in D1GP Indonesia
and he's really cool
He said earlier that he was old, so his skills weren't as good as before, he was just being humble
Japanese people are really cool
even though I actually know he's still good at drifting
and you don't need to ask about his skills anymore
basically, he really is a legend
and now let's see what other cars are here
Ziko: Ryusei Akiba Ryusei: hi
Ziko: hi, I'm Ziko
Ryusei: I'm Ryusei
Ziko: we met at D1GP Malaysia
Ryusei: Oh yes Ziko: yeah
Ryusei: we ever met
Ziko: good to see you again Ryusei: good to see you again
Ryusei: have fun
Ziko: have fun
we just chatted with Ryusei Akiba
he is a D1GP drifter who won yesterday if I'm not mistaken in D1GP round 6
He won first place
He's really good at drifting
50% of the cars here go to Silvia
but there are also several different cars
like this, there is a rotary RX-7 that is used for drifting
In Indonesia, it's a shame that the RX-7 is used for drifting
but it's like a normal thing here
there's JZX here
Silvia again
as far as I know, these are Silvia who often plays on the streets and now playing on the circuit
here, the drifting industry and its drifting community have really been formed
just a normal practice event, the cars brought are proper cars
and there are many participants
if I'm not mistaken there are more than 50 cars here taking part in drifting in various classes
I hope one day Indonesia can be like this
and hopefully, Indonesia has a drifting circuit that can drift together
very exciting
by the way, it's not just sports cars that are used for drifting
there is pick-up too
all the cars drifted together whatever car it is
it is just a pick up can participate
it's funny
in Indonesia, there are rarely drift pickups like this, even though they exist, this car seems to have been made suitable for drifting
there's a new car coming here
this car is like the Lucky car from StanceLab
use VS KF wheels on SX
crazy very cool
settings like this are used for drifting
and we see here that a new car has arrived too
this car was at the Tokyo Auto Salon a day ago
the cars are from the Uras team, Ken Nomura
they will load out
we have entered the final part of this paddock
Here, it's just a display car
this is like a car on tow truck, but it's different, this car is an S13 with a stance, but it's used for drifting
what's cool here is the engine
the engine is really neat, SR20DET
the engine is chrome-coated
that's great
so apart from using the car for drifting, the car is made according to their style
even with settings like this we definitely won't get a grip
drifting is not comfortable
but we drift with our own styles here
and finally, here there is JZX or Chaser which is really cool
Valino yellow
this car looks like it has never been used for drifting because there are no scratches and no dents
and the rest are just booths
there is Yokomo's booth
Vertex booth
Uras booth
and the most interesting thing here is the truck
on top of the truck, there is a simulator
We can play the simulator directly with the same track, in Mobara which is also in the simulator
cool
it seems interesting for us to make an idea like this
lastly here is the BMW E92 or E90
I forgot which type
basically a 2 door car
using a Euro Fighter body kit
and this is the car used in D1GP Japan
and what's interesting, is there are real competition cars, there are pick-up cars, there are missile cars
so the events are really very diverse
and now they are queuing again
looks like this is a professional class
the car is all good
it's really exciting here
now it's time for Akbar to try practicing
Akbar: let's try it
Ziko: basically, this car is quite slow
Ziko: the angle is big
Ziko: but there is no handbrake
Akbar: there's no handbrake
Ziko: remember that yeah
Akbar: let's just try it first
now it's Dipo's turn
good luck be careful
I just finished testing this car and the car immediately broke down because of me
the axle is broken
but the owner of the car has fixed it
and after this, there are still several more sessions but I always want the last one because I have a tendency to damage the car
now let's just see what cars are in the paddock here
here S15 all
there are two black cars
and there is a blue car that I really like
this car belongs to Chase Bays
Chase Bays is a manufacturer of parts like the parts I have used on my S15
radiator and others for S15
and this car is really neat
it was run together with my run
the one who drives is also good at drifting
and there is Toshi's car
now it's my turn to practice again
that was the first session and now is the second session
I'm pretty confident with the car
and earlier the axle of the car had broken
and the power steering also had problems
but now it's been fixed
I hope the car is safe
I'll try to be close to the wall
Bismillah
I just finished practicing
and Bimo has now taken the car Bimo will practice the first
after that, it will Dipo's turn
then it will be Akbar's turn
looks like I'm done because I've mastered the track
I can drift from start to finish
but yeah, the car isn't that fast
only 300 HP
different from Toshi's car
Toshi's car power is now more than 500 HP
and he's the craziest at driving
backward and three wheely
crazy
after this, I will try to be his passenger
and now let's just enjoy watching the others practice
really exciting
Ziko: hi Toshi
Ziko: how are you Toshi: pretty good
Ziko: thank you for giving us the car Toshi: yeah any time
Ziko: it's such a pleasure to drift here in what circuit?
Toshi: Mobara Twin Circuit Ziko: Mobara
Toshi: how did you like it so far
Ziko: it's very good Toshi: good?
Ziko: not like Bihoku, Bihoku is very scary
Toshi: it's scary
Ziko: I enjoy the circuit so much Toshi: Oh yeah
Toshi: over here a little bit safer right? I mean it's just foam barrier and over here there's no wall
Ziko: enter over here
Ziko: yeah
Ziko: so after this let's tandem yeah
Toshi: next round let's go
Ziko: but our car is kind of slow
Toshi: Oh right here yeah Ziko: yes
Ziko: thank you so much for everything
Toshi: ok, you guys have fun Ziko: have fun
Toshi: stay tuned for the tandem video with Ziko
Ziko: let's go
Ziko: it's a wrap for today
Ziko: we've finished the practice
Ziko: really exciting, right?
Dipo: and this time I didn't crash the car Ziko: yes
Dipo: but damaged the axle
Ziko: no, that's also because the axle is already bad Dipo: already ugly
Ziko: and one car is used by four people, so I definitely feel sorry for the car
Dipo: yes
Ziko: but today we only finished one set of tires
Dipo: because the asphalt is good Ziko: the asphalt is good
Ziko: the tires are nice Dipo: cold temperature
Ziko: cold temperature
Ziko: Today it really best
Ziko: thank God, everything is safe Dipo: really exciting
Dipo: and I also learned a lot from learning here Ziko: yes
Dipo: and after this, we will continue to Osaka
Dipo: We're going to Toshi's place
Ziko: our partner Dipo: our partner
Ziko: there's a Garasi Drift now
Dipo: We will go around and see the car scene there
Dipo: I hope it's fun too Ziko: yes
Ziko: let's just go straight to Osaka Dipo: let's go
We're in Naoki Nakamura's workshop
and here are Naoki's cars whose style is really visible
if we look at this, it means that it's either Naoki's car or Naoki's team's car
and let's see what cars are here
Dipo: what can you learn from here
Ziko: what I can learn is that generally here, if a car is for fun, it doesn't need to be modified to make a big fuss
Ziko: Modify it to just relax like this
Ziko: Earlier we saw that the inside was a lot of mess
Ziko: the cables are messy
Ziko: because it's not a car for competition
Ziko: A proper car is only for competition
Ziko: and the difference is that the competition cars use 19-inch wheels
Ziko: the car used for practice uses 18-inch wheels
Ziko: and the cool thing that we can learn is that the car uses thin glitter all over the body
Dipo: that's been his style from the beginning Ziko: yes, and there are gradations
Dipo: Oh yes
Ziko: this is purple then light purple
Dipo: this actually bothers us if we apply it
Ziko: yes, because it's really complicated
Ziko: He's always had this style, right? Dipo: yes
Ziko: N-Style, Naoki Nakamura style
Ziko: great
Dipo: and here almost all the cars are S chassis
Dipo: there are S15
Dipo: SX
Dipo: SX
Dipo: lots of SX here
Ziko: actually, I came here to see the GR 86 Dipo: is there?
Ziko: but Naoki hasn't come yet, we were invited here by Toshi
Ziko: he's still waiting too
Ziko: here are Naoki Nakamura's tires
Ziko: Valino all
Ziko: crazy, there are so many tires, it could be a wall
Dipo: but if we keep all the used tires, maybe it's already like this
Ziko: yes
Ziko: but we don't store used tires, why is he keeping used tires?
Dipo: because it takes up space
next, there is an SX with the same style
I want to see what the engine is
Oh, this car doesn't have an engine
let's take a look at this car
this car looks like it has been in a lot of crashes here
let's take a look and see what the engine is
Dipo: it seems like
Ziko: JZ
Dipo: either JZ or SR
Dipo: the shift knob is really annoying
Ziko: the shift knob is purple too, right?
Dipo: the interior of this car is really exciting
Ziko: continue
Ziko: there's an S13 here
Ziko: there's an S15
Dipo: S14 Ziko: S14
Dipo: We used to have this wing
Ziko: this is the 326 Power wing Dipo: yes
Dipo: but we forgot where we store it
the car that attracts the most attention is the S15, which seems to have been used for his D1GP
I said the rear tire size is 19 inches
really big for the Silvia S15
the style remains the same, purple
there are silver glitters
use a big wing
great
Dipo: there is something mind-blowing about this car in the interior, let's see
Dipo: the hand brake uses a foot brake pedal
Dipo: the position is reversed
Ziko: is that the foot brake pedal?
Dipo: or clutch pedal
Dipo: between the clutch pedal and the foot brake pedal and the position is reversed
Dipo: then the part for the foot was removed
Dipo: but it's still visible
Dipo: this could be a reference for those of you who want to make a really cheap handbrake idea
Ziko: 2JZ
Ziko: look, the cables are not neat
Dipo: yes, my cables are much better
Ziko: but this car is definitely fast
Ziko: because it is used for D1GP
Dipo: yes, but that's the way it is, the Japanese who build their cars don't prioritize aesthetics for their practice cars
Dipo: the important thing is the function and the car can start
Dipo: immediately full throttle
Dipo: maybe cables like this make it easier to fix than cables like mine Ziko: it could be
so Naoki has arrived
and he showed us a car that uses an LS engine
let's see
Toshi: knuckle
Ziko: knuckle Toshi: this is Naoki knuckle
Ziko: N-Style
Toshi: yes, the N-Style
Toshi: so pretty much all his car runs this knuckle, even for the D1GP car
Ziko: so where to buy this?
Toshi: he doesn't speak English
Toshi: so everyone can order it through me
Ziko: okay Toshi: after that, I will send it overseas
Toshi: so if any of you guys want this speak me up
Ziko: so if you want undercarriage, just check Alpha Project Imports, alright?
Toshi: thank you
Ziko: I'll try this
Ziko: arigatou gozaimasu Naoki San
we were treated to coffee by Naoki
so this is Naoki's S13 which uses an LS engine
and before we look at the engine
let's see first that this wing has glitter too
the glitter is colorful
there are silver, purple, blue, yellow
great
and this car has a rear radiator setting
19-inch wheels for the rear
these are the Valino brand wheels too
cool
the interior is full of carbon
the body is full of Origin Labo
crazy yeah
this pink color is brighter than the car outside
and let's just look at the engine
so this is the engine guys
it uses LSXr
Ziko: why did you choose this engine?
Toshi: he likes the engine sound
Ziko: oh because the sound
Dipo: is this supercharged?
Toshi: yes, supercharged
Toshi: he said, do you know our tuning shop?
Toshi: The Diversion
Toshi: they put on the dyno and it made over 1000 horsepower
Toshi: spinning on the dyno
Toshi: so the correct number
Toshi: so once it was over 1000 HP it was just spinning tires on top of the roller
Toshi: so it didn't get the right horsepower reading
Toshi: the boost is only 0.7 bars
Ziko: is it? Toshi: it's so really low
Toshi: it's over 1000 horsepower
Toshi: spinning on the dyno
so this engine has more than 1000 HP of power but it's already spinning on the dyno test
so if it doesn't spin, maybe it can have 1500 HP
crazy
and he chose this engine because it sounded good to him
We've finished looking at the car
and we learned a lot
thank you so much to Naoki
arigatou gozaimasu
Naoki: thank you
Ziko: thank you also Toshi for inviting us Toshi: you're welcome
now let's go straight to Alpha Project Imports with Toshi
let's go
Ziko: so we were riding with Toshi when suddenly he raced on the toll road
Dipo: illegal street racing
Ziko: damn, 100 km/hour
Ziko: it's really like Fast and Furious
finally, we arrived at Toshi's workshop
and the workshop is really fun
the vibes are really Japanese
and it's really cold here
let's see what's in this workshop
on the outside, there are lots of S chassis that might be built
this is the car the materials will be built from
and inside here there are two S chassis
Toshi's car which I damaged at that time
then there is Chase's car, the owner of Chase Bays
well, this is the SR20DET
what's cool about this workshop is the basement
so we can go down the stairs to put things in and also under there to look under the car
it's quite spacious down here
it's a bit similar to what is usually found in workshops in Indonesia
but this is a really big
so it's more functional
maybe we can even replace the gearbox and dismantle the engine through the tunnel like this
so apart from there being a repair shop, or what people here usually call a shop, Toshi also has a place to store cars in the area, 15 minutes from here
so if you want to build a car in the Osaka area, you can build the car here
after that, put the car in its stored location
I really want to build a car here and we can just leave the car here
so if one day we want to drift to Japan, we just send the car from here
and it turns out storing the car here is not that expensive
if I'm not mistaken, the price per month is only 10,000 yen or around 1 million rupiah
it's quite affordable to store a car
and if you're interested, just check Alpha Project Imports' Instagram
You can also DM Toshi directly
a lot of information there
basically, it's great here
we cooled down first, then entered the place, immediately greeted by a cat with f**k hand
go away
and here there are some parts for sale
Ziko: what's going on here?
Dipo: there is a Turbo whose turbine is purple
Dipo: it seems Toshi really likes the color purple
Ziko: for whatever reason, it's not visible
Dipo: even though in Indonesia, purple is the color of widows
Ziko: there's merchandise
Ziko: this is gloves
Ziko: if you're interested, just buy it on Instagram
Dipo: we already have it
Ziko: there is N-Style, the undercarriage for the Silvia that we use in Bimo's car
Dipo: so these are drifting magazines from time to time
Dipo: but it's useless because we don't understand the language
Ziko: Oh, there's a Kawabata car that we'll see tomorrow
Dipo: cool
Ziko: this video is really fun
Ziko: We've been to Japan meet-ups, drifting, to Naoki Nakamura's workshop, and finished at Toshi's workshop
Dipo: and in the next video we will go to Kawabata San and Mad Mike's workshop
Ziko: it's definitely no less exciting, so just stay tuned
keep driving safe and goodbye
