Nomuken's car is not converted to RWD, it's not a GT-R. In fact, it's a four-door(R33 Model had a 4-door GT-R, but I think it was done by Autec).

Joey: Even though it would make sense that drifting was originated by WRC, I don't think it is because Tazio Nuvolari was actually the first(to my knowledge) race driver to use drifts to his advantage.

AWD drifting is definitely possible, and in the rain it's much more controlled than RWD(obviously).

spitty12, could you please explain the method you were using, I'm not sure I understand.
