Interview: Martin Reinsch’s new drift carInterview: Martin Reinsch’s new drift car
After a long build Martin Reinsch is back with a new car. A proper Nissan 200SX S14 like he always owned, but this one isn’t just as the old one, it’s a serious step forward to a true top notch competition car. Built with all the love and knowledge Martin has!

Here I’d like to share some of my past 10+ years of experience that some may relate to and maybe help others.
Sit back and take as small travel back in time with me to the last century, when drifting was just stories from a country far far away and the import market in Switzerland next to non existent….

DUG OUT: Two guys barely fit in a carDUG OUT: Two guys barely fit in a car
Just checked out some old pictures and stumbeled upon some old pictures from the Japan trip. Tobias, Thomas, Alain and Dino enjoyed the time there, all pictures with big smile on the face and really relaxed guys.
But the best picture is really the following one. The 2 guys in the PS13 barely finding place and headroom in the car!

Corner Talk: Pro’s / Con’s of the S14 as a drift platformCorner Talk: Pro’s / Con’s of the S14 as a drift platform
I have been driving the S14 since I can remember. It wasn’t my first car, but surely the first one that wasn’t crap.
Having owned and maintained two S14’s over the years, taking one of them from daily-driven car to fire-breathing competition ready machine, I’d like to put down my thoughts on this subject.
Nissan Skyline – The R PlatformNissan Skyline – The R Platform
The R-Platform (R32/33/34) is very famous for it’s RB engine and was Nissans flagship back in the days. The R32 was launched in 1989 and in the beginning a very good and fast sports car. Back in these days an average 911 Turbo had 320bhp and the R32GTR had 280bhp – fact is that the power of the GTR was just developed to that magic 280bhp number because of some sort of gentleman agreement. The reality is that most GTR’s in stock trim had more than 300bhp. This made the car a true competitor against a 911 Turbo. The RB26DETT engine was developed in relation to the 4WD platform to compete in Japanese Group A 4500cc-class racing, where it had big success. The first season Nismo won 29 out of 29 races with the new R32GTR platform.

Photography Friday – Drift EditionPhotography Friday – Drift Edition
„Well, there’s a challenge.. finding pictures for a drift edition of photo friday.. “
That was my initial ironic reaction on seeing this weeks theme.. but then it dawned on me that actually it was gonna be quite hard to pick any driftphotos with some kind of meaning, as I generally look to post something with at least a little bit of relevance to a certain topic, not just random pics. After pondering a few options I came up with the following idea: I want to try and post as many fundamentaly different drift shots as possible. And I’m not talking about the colors of the cars either..
