We definitely need a modern version!

love how alexi's gotten to the point where there's alexi lore, and this is just the directors cut

Instructions unclear my car is now stuck in a tree thanks alot Alexi

Dude, making that road animation but in 2005 would've been hardcore. I struggled to model a fish in Maya for Uni last year 😂

This fashion style has definitely come back, baggy cargo pants in bold colors and printed long sleeve tees.

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.

this man has been drifting longer than i’ve been alive cheers

Oh wow, Noriyaro had a mullet back in the day.

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

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..

if anyone is curious this track does exist on assetto corsa!

Wow. This was absolutely spectacular, amazing! One of your best episodes ever! Waiting for the modern version with the S15 :)

This oscillation between nods of approval and concerned looks is golden, great content as usual !

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

We were really lucky to have HPI, Zoom and Drift Battle magazines back in the day. R.I.P Express Publications

Nostalgic edit: I never thought I'd call something from 2005 as nostalgic...

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 was 5 when you made this.

“Ya need pa’ar to keep ‘er goin’” About as Australian as The Chats😂😂

Hey Alexi, I'm really enjoying this retrospective type content. Love seeing the extended Noriyaro lore. As someone on the cusp of being financially capable of getting into drifting it's stuff like this that keeps me motivated to do so despite the whole financial aspect, especially given the state of the US used car market (oof) ((and epic upcoming recession)). How dare you inspire me to get into such a money pit. The fun better be worth it. Much love, can't wait to see where your videos go

One of the better explanations for how to handbrake entry that i’ve seen. Glad you are sharing this with us and breaking it down! Maybe a remake with the beans at Tsukuruma? Remind the kids that they dont need horsepower to get sliding haha

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

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.

I just binged all the otomoto stuff last week, some real gems in there including Darren Appleton blowing up an RB20 box on his 2nd lap of Nikko

My dad actually collect drift battle magazine, he is really into drifting back in the day.

Please find more archived videos, these are gold ^^

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.

BAE WAKE UP, ALEXI JUST POSTED!!!

I am just here to see those un-cracked dashboards, oh what a time to be alive

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.

Should bring back that haircut.

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!

omg the concept of DVDs being sold alongside magazines is certainly an unlocked childhood memory of mine

I LOVE these old videos. Fantastic content as always Alexi!

Love the nostalgia this content brings. All of your content is great really. Thanks for sharing!

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.

"You go bigger, then you go smaller, then you go bigger again" - Alexi, 2nd May 2023

Yes more videos like this please!! As someone trying to get into drifting this was fantastic!!

I LOVE THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS!

i really love this type of videos 🤘

Love that retro styled videos! Definitely need a modern version of how to drift!

i am LOVING all these uploads!!!!

THIS is a pure gem bro

Couldn't get any more bang on advice man, well done!!

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

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.

This is so amazing!!

The background while your talking of Japan and the car meet spot is epic. Love the info you bring about the culture over there ❤

Taking a moment to appreciate the old rego sticker on top left windscreen

We totally need a 2023 version of that drift tutorial

That was awesome! Love the throwback vid review!

5:11 I was genuinely glancing at my phone waiting for it to start ringing even though it is new and doesn't even use that radio system aymore.

This one the actually one of the legit videos I used to learn how to drift.

yesssss we need a modern version, this was really good! love it!

Hahaha I remember religiously studying this video! It helped me out so much when I was learning to drift. Thank you for all that you have done, Alexi!

This video was incredible 🙏🙏

This was really cool to see thank you for sharing it with us. An updated one would also be very cool, not to mention very beneficial to someone like me who still doesn’t have a manual RWD car yet

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.

I remember watching this 10 years ago when first getting into drifting, actually helped!

Really enjoyed this video and the recent work you're doing, hopefully once I can afford to spare some money for the patreon I'll remember to actually do it. Stay safe Alexi!

YESSS ANOTHER UPLOAD!!

I remember searching up how to drift on youtube and unexpectedly found your old driftbattle video. I was surprised when I saw you in it

That was fun! Looking forward to the 2007 road trip to Ebisu video as well! ;)

i love this type of your videos, they are like stories told by this cool uncle

14:36 A modern lesson from Alexi on how to drift would be awesome !

I literally learned to drift from this tutorial, and learned to drift on that exact course 🙌

Fully sick mate!

Please do a updated version! it would help heaps of people

your driving was really good for the time. Would love to see a modern version, you're probably one of the most indicated people for that!

I actually learned how to drift from this old video on my CA18 powered S13. Thank you very much for creating this back then!

Damn im 34 and this was a trip to the past thank you so much for uploading this old ones. Amazing how good old advice is just good advice in general . PS please make a garage update soon.

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 😂

Alexi, you've gotta bring back that hair man. Ngl you'd rock it now. I'm 21, so if a youngster if suggesting it, you know it's facts.

So happy to see you that happy 😂🥰 very cool content!

100% we need it!

Really good content, it's refreshing from the batshit crazy car stuff (don't get me wrong we still love those vids) but these sit down chill videos are really fun to watch

daam this is so old... blessed days!

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!

Boy is that ever how we all were back then. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

fave video yet! 🤣 updated version! do it up!

i quite like the angle from inside the car during the driving segments, gives a big view of the inside and also the outside of the car

I had this dvd, I remember watching it when getting into drifting in my s13 all those years ago. Man I feel old!

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 would definitely watch a remastered version of this video 😁

Bring back stock knuckle drifting

That track is so cool. I love the sort of figure-eight with the bridge.

What funny timing seeing this video after I have just done a beginner session night at Archerfield drift park. I was struggling to grasp the basics and was instructed to enter with a clutch kick which although very effective didn’t seem like the correct way to learn how to initiate a drift. I hope you do a revised video and I’ll be watching the inertial/Scandinavia flick drift entry guide which just seems like both the most stylish and mechanically friendly technique on what’s already a very violent style of Motorsport ! Multiple thumbs up for this video also

This is legendary

Please make an updated version of this! would be great to see the difference between the two.

i have over 15 years of driving experience, i have driven to the moon and back in racing. the KEY to drifting is Eurobeat. if you play this music in your car, your car will drift. everytime.

Definitely need to make one now with all your experience

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!!

The power of finding stuff when you clean up! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Uncle alexi watching young alexi is a vibe 😅❤

lessgo new noriyaro vid just dropped

Still have all my HPI, Hard Tuned Imports and Drift battle DVD's, got HPI v5 first and that really got me into drifting.

Hey Noriyaro, That was totally cool 👍. I lived in Narellan back in the day and would frequent Oran Park on a regular basis. Motorcycle ride days, street drags and of course race meetings. It was devastating from a motorsports point of view when the place closed. It’s been a fading memory, so thanks for posting your history lesson on drifting and bringing a little bit of Oran Park back to life 🏁. By the way, what’s happening in your massive garage at the moment? I get great enjoyment from watching your content…thanks heaps 👍 Cheers from home 🇦🇺

That in car camera set up is elite. Bring it back mate
