Why Drifters Love Ebisu and Miss The Old Minami
Whether you know about drifting or not, Ebisu Circuit in Nihonmatsu, Japan, is the ultimate mecca for going sideways.
Comprising North Course, School Course, and Nishi (long and short) drift tracks, two skidpans dubbed Kurukuru Land 1 and 2, a race track called Higashi, and an epic Touge modelled on the traditional Japanese mountain pass, it's no wonder Ebisu Circuit is THE PLACE to go for drifters.
But what drifters from around the world miss the most, is the original D1 Grand Prix icon, Minami - with its famous and infamous jump...

Cool video. Someone told me once (not sure if it's true) that 200 HP in an aircooled 911 is like 400 HP in a watercooled one.
Cheers @alk3myst! As for aircooled hp v watercooled... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I love the 911 Tartan seats and the checkerboard style later on.
The whole car is on point, ay?
Hey Dave, great video. I am also in VIC. Out of interest where did you take it for interior retrim? Cheers
Hi @ChristopherBurton-u4l, glad you enjoyed the vid. I actually ended up retrimming the glovebox, centre console lid, and top box myself, as I've dabbled a little bit with that stuff before on previous projects. You could have a crack yourself or try and find someone local perhaps. Good luck either way and thanks again for watching!
Been saving for 3 years to buy this car hopefully one day!
Best of luck @yodo5701 - I'm sure you'll get there and love the car once you do. Cheers.
i love driving my wrx gc8... cant get enough of it. has sti 6 sp 3.9/r180, 18 psi on a vf28 SELF TUNED on a link g4+, i rebuilt the engine recently to W20c 207 block with recon heads, hybrid ceramic/organic clutch. RE003, DIY wheel align to 1.5 camber all around, 0 toe. astra PS pump. very reliable package, very fun and fast
Sounds awesome! Enjoy it and have fun 🙂
Are you allowed to record? I saw another video where they said you can’t?
Hey @escoplayer10, it can vary, but generally the use of camera equipment is restricted in the cars, which is why footage from the day is limited and mostly shot on iPhone. It's more about the driving experience than living life behind the lens anyway. Cheers.
Not sure that space saver would do much for aero efficiency! It seems EVs have come quite a way in a short time. Thank god. I think I'll hold out for a hybrid/electric ionic 3.....N!
The market definitely has more variety today than when the LEAF first debuted, but I'd certainly opt for an Ionic 5 N given current options...😇 Cheers for watching as always.
Love that v8 sound, and the fact you can get it in a manual! Shame that we didnt get these up here in Canada. Would either get a lefthand converted one of these, or the Ford Falcon v8. What kind of fuel economy yall get on it?
Hey @eyecontrol4900, thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked the video. This or a V8 Falcon over in Canada would be awesome, just don't know how you'd go about it. As for fuel, you'll need to take out a small loan to cover costs - at best I'll get around 9L/100km (26mpg), it averages around 14L/100km (17mpg), and I've seen north of 20L/100km (12mpg) when heavier boots are being worn... Hope that helps. Cheers.
@@DaveZalstein ah ok. My old ram1500 used to get 13-15L/100k as a daily, but it handled and rode terribly around suburbs or twisty roads. Would much rather a sports ute like this. Here in Canada, all our utes are imported from the US, so they're mostly large pickup trucks. The falcon and commodore utes I've seen online look way cooler to drive as a daily. Hope you're enjoying it!
@@eyecontrol4900 Interesting stuff. I most definitely still love driving my Ute, and perhaps you could see if the team at www.lefthandutes.com/ are still doing conversions for the US and North America...
Great sharing, well done ! And the 1977 3.0 still has character - 911 character, of course ! Lovely 😎
Thanks so much @carfan3762 - glad you enjoyed it! Cheers.
Very great video Dave! Happy to see you again! For your next videos, it could be possible to fix a camera on the pedalbox to film driver's footwork please? :)
Hi @constantinrenoir8273 and thanks for the positive feedback - always appreciated. I think driving the car on the road rather than the track makes for possibly less exciting foot-cam shots, but it's definitely something I'll look into doing on other videos in future where possible. Thanks for the idea though and cheers for watching🙂
@@DaveZalstein Great, thank you for your answer! :D Footcam is always interesting on the road or on track. Firstly, we see the driver's techniques, but also the characteristics of the car. So it will be still interesting, don't worry about this Dave. ;)
@@constantinrenoir8273 Oh man, you're making me want to make a whole film of just foot-cam haha. I'll see what I can in do, in the meantime, you can watch my green Nikes go crazy on this heel-and-toe vid: czcams.com/video/wuofBKEcD4s/video.html
@@DaveZalstein Thank you very much! I stay tuned. ;)
What kind of shifter is that?
Hey @danielamhof6150, it's a WEVO Shifter, check out more options here: www.wevo.com/Products/ShifterProducts/WevoShifterProducts.htm Hope that helps and cheers for watching.

Thanks so much @user-we5cp5zl8z, stoked to see so many people like what we put together. Stay tuned for more…
Can you road register a car with a full cage in australia? I was told that it was prohibited. Does it vary state to state?
Hi @charleswhitfield8915, in short, you can - in Victoria at least - provided the cage and padding etc meet specific VicRoads guidelines. Worth looking into for sure👍
This is so epic...I'm just mad at myself for not making this happen instead of just thinking about it... you only live once. Love everything about this 911. 😎
Cheers @grantmail4112 - glad you dug the video and Hugh's car. All the best.
It's so funny that the Ford Escort has such a different reputation in the rest of the world. In the United States, it is an underpowered, cheap, absolute trashcar. So unfortunate for us that we've largely missed out on the hot hatch eras of the 80's and 90's.
Definitely a fun car @jeffshappard8227, but also fun because they're often (or used to be) underpowered, cheap, and an absolute trashcar haha. Cheers for watching and I hope you enjoyed the vid🙂
Amazing work mate! Brilliant car, brilliant video, and in support of a great cause
Massive thanks @ReDriven - very cool to see so many positive comments. More to come once this stupid eye is mended... Take care and I hope things are good🙂
A sensational video Dave. Looking forward to the next one
Cheers @gregkruse2389, me too! Just need this eye to cooperate...
Great
Cheers @elbri7971, thanks for watching.
So good! Hugh's passion for cars (and most things in his life, it seems) is great, and I could listen to you both talk for days. Josh posted in a skateboard forum we both used to frequent that his brother had bought a 911 and it wasn't until maybe 15 years later that all the dots were connected! I agree with the comment about the sale of the 996 GT3RS, that is THE DREAM car and it was great to see Hugh enjoy it as it should be.
Oh man, so stoked you liked it let alone watched it - means a lot. Cheers.
Great video. Love listening to genuine car folk chat about great autos.
Thanks so much @fixedandwelded - stoked you liked it! Now to get a BMW on here haha.
Learn how to pronounce "Porsche"......berk!
Cheers @waltersickinger263, someone was gonna say it haha🤷♂
Fantastic video Dave keep up the production quality and good stories
Cheers Brad - very much appreciate it. Will keep working away as soon as my eye permits it…👊
Great video guys! Who did the hair and makeup? You both look fab.
Haha, classic @bigchrislee81! It’s all done in-house…😉
Lovely car👍🏻
Isn’t it just @andygarcia6619! Are you a 911 tragic too?
Finally found some time to sit down and watch this through. Great first ep, Dave! You can tell both you and Hugh really know your stuff and are super passionate. It's amazing what even a quick 5 minute spin behind the wheel can do for your head space! I've told my partner that my retirement gift to myself is a 911. God knows what they'll be worth when retirement comes knocking in 20 years or so!! Looking forward to the rest of the series mate. Brilliant job 💪
Massive thanks @deganellis - very much appreciate the kind words and positive feedback. You might end up blowing your retirement on just getting a 911, but even then, it might still be worth it haha. As for more eps... that's definitley the plan, just gotta get this busted eye sorted out. Peace out legend👊
I’m going in Oct so I’m waiting till the day I can book, I’m going to book that blue nismo r34 hopefully looks amazing
Hey @johnnyappleseed4166, you're gonna love it! Hopefully the weather obliges, but regardless, I'm sure it'll be unforgettable. Take care and cheers for watching and commenting 🙂
Randomly saw this video in my feed, I hit the subscribe button as soon as I heard you advocate and support mental health, and in particular men's mental health. Great quality content as well, keep it up brother! And if you originally filmed the content in 4k it would be great if you uploaded in 4k too, the cinematography deserves it :)
You're a legend @gavinr9107 - a thousand thank yous! Glad you liked the video and hopefully you'll share it around🤝 Cheers
Owning this vehicle would indeed have a positive effect on my mental health.

This must be from a while ago considering some of these cars are no longer available for hire in the fleet? Was here 3 weeks ago hence the curiosity
Hey @andrecab1125, yeah, as mentioned in the video, I was there in 2019, so some cars remain on fleet and others may have moved on. Would still highly recommend it if you've got the time and coin - huge fun and great people :D Cheers.
Great video Dave! Stunning views AND a coffee and sausage restaurant! 😮
Haha, worth the trip for sure :D
Oh man. Can you believe I lived there for 4 years and never did this? Mind you, not sure my 6ft 6 frame would fit all that well, but that original GTR... ridiculous!
Wha? That's crazy man! Plus 6'6", you'd of fit into something! Next time I guess :D
"a minter it was not" is an understatement! It pulled hard right under brakes when I drove it in 2018!
