MANILA, Philippines - The sport of drifting went on a totally different level when Japan’s number one Drift King Nobuteru Taniguchi, or NOB, was flown in by PLDT MYDSL for a weekend exhibition at the Lateral Drift Championships recently. Held at the sprawling grounds of Ortigas Home Depot, Taniguchi piloted Motul’s race prepped Nissan 240 SX. “I like the consistent power and torque of the car, it is the perfect drift weapon,” says Taniguchi.
Powered by Nissan’s bulletproof SR20 DETT, the 240 SX is lubricated and protected by Motul’s 300V 100 percent Fully Synthetic Motor Oil. As the reigning champion of Japan’s D1 Series, Taniguchi wowed local crowds and drift fanatics with fast and precise drift maneuvers, and tire screeching power slide techniques. “The engine never faltered and power delivery is consistent,” adds the D1 Champion and Super Taikyu race sensation.
The secret to Motul’s consistent delivery of power is the patented Double Ester technology, which significantly improves output performance by maintaining high film strength. The ester polymer compound is designed with high molecular strength to withstand constant shearing of oil, as it maintains viscosity even at extremely high engine temperatures ensuring minimal friction and flow resistance during high RPM. Double Ester Technology makes it possible to spur on an optimum output by reducing the friction of the oil film while maintaining stable oil pressure.
