Love it or loathe it,the movie series of The Fast and the Furious have propelled import cars into the mainstream limelight. OK,so far from everything in these flicks is accurate,but for a bit of mindless fun for an hour or two,I'm suggesting that Team SAU have a night out at the movies with the new Fast and Furious 3-Tokyo Drift movie(and you can check it out here: http://www.thefastandthefurious3.com/main.html ). It's released on Thursday June 15th,and I'll be heading to Hoyts Woden for a look;I'd love it if you'll all come along! At this point in time,they haven't released times nor tickets,but there's always showings around the 6.30-7.30 area,which I figure is late enough for most to get there after work,but early enough it doesn't make for a late night for those that have to be at work early the next day(or need their beauty sleep...like me,LOL). As soon as a definate time is available,I'll post it and I'll see those that are coming there! Buying your tickets in advance would be advised,and showing up early as opening night is always a s**t fight to get tickets and/or a spot in the line.

There are people that hate these movies;fair enough that's your opinion,but I don't want or need that negativity in this thread:start your own beat up somewhere else. However,those that love this type of flick,feel free to come along for some fun!

This'll be a good chance to meet & greet some new faces,and catch up with old friends. If there's enough that want to,we may even take a few spots at Barbars afterwards...

I'll be suggesting the same thing for the www.valvebounce.com crew and the www.gtrydaz.com squad too,so hopefully it'll be a good roll up!

See you all there! Jayce.

As per our chat, I'll be there my friend.

Hope to see some more of you out there too!

I think Babars afterwards and an in depth breakdown of the movie is a must (i.e. "Didya see the mad rack on that asian chick in the 27th minute" and so forth).

would it be possible (if enough people) to get a group discount?

I believe we need around 150 CONFIRMED payers to get any sort of reasonable discount...but I'll look into it further...

I'm sure with enough forum members and partners we could manage 150 people. I'll talk to my manager friend at Woden Hoyts and find out more.

Nice! Now we have an "insider" connection,LOL! Go Pete go!

It's strangely quiet from the rest of you lot;so how 'bout it?!?

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
