Since it’s S13 day and we’ve been asked to select our favorite S13, there was really no way I could pick anything but Yoshinori Koguchi’s black 180SX. This car had and still has the perfect style in my eye, and it’s made all that much better by Koguchi’s talents behind the wheel. This famous clip of him driving at Nikko Circuit just sums it all up.

It also takes you back to a simpler time when the only real way to experience drifting for most of us was through imported Japanese video tapes.

I just wonder how many people went out and bought an S13 after seeing this clip?

I can't believe how old this is I remember seeing this when I first bought my 240sx, made me want to buy lots of goodies

I was about to buy a gold kouki 240SX hatchback after watching Koguchi's and Itairen's Ricoh Racing 180SXs on VHS from J-wave. Owner got upset with me for taking it out too long on a test drive and using up his gas. Ended up getting my AE86. but I still think 180SXs are one of the best looking FR cars ever made.

This was like my very first drift video I saw, I think this was like back in 2002, I remember watching it over and over, definitely got a 240 because of this and a few others like this.
