i rate it 3 out of 10. the first one was far better imo. nice cars. nice girls. the driving was about as far from realistic as you can get and the plot was thin at best.

still recommend it tho :thumbsup: lots of top secret/veilside/signal etc etc cars. poor showing of skylines and like jayce said - no amount of nos in that ts rx-7 would allow them to catch that r34 gtr that flew past them. *grumble*

still it was good to see you boys and girls! its been like 6months since i've activley sau'd! :ermm:

d

i didnt like it.

The BAD was: acting was poor, story line = there was none / lame , unrealistic drifting (especially down the mountain at night) , lack of Skylines shown, Too many 350Zs !!!!

The GOOD was: The cars that were shown were crisp.

Rate it 2.5 / 10

Rate first F & F 9 / 10

Rate second F & F 7 / 10

just my 2cents..

Rate FnF3 - A good movie.

Yank actor - didn't like the texas drawl (dribble).

Plot was good acting was ok.

Car scenes, mainly good.

Asian chicks :rofl: mighty fine.

Music Trax - needs to be better and LOUDER. You'd of thought "LiL Pup" wouldve been able to get some decent tunes in the movie!

Good to see the whole row+ filled with SAU.

Sorry couldn't stay to chat afters. Had to get son home to eX's and also keen on seeing the 2hrs of Family guy and American Dad.

All up a good movie. Id love to see the first two guys (Paul Walker n Vin) do each FnF sequel but it didn't work that way.

hahah, that was awesome, we had the whole center row of the cinema from end to end! (not the 3 seats against the walls on each side, they don't count :(

loved it, much more than the 1st two, although FnF1 will always be good.

loved everything bout the movie. finally in Japan, and had nothing to do with police undercover which was great, girls were great, beats were japanese as they should be in japan (i thought Teriyaki Boyz did a good job with the theme song), and there was japanese spoken, i thought the movie would be "yank-efied"

10/10, awesome.

tokyo drift was a brilant film. and exsacly every thing i whanted it to be. as i am a film student i look out for the codes and conventions of cinima. and this was by no means your tipical holywood film. the film is filed with asian influance. the opening scence and many of the camera angles throughout the film are definetly asian influance. most of the music throughout the film is asian aswell. what i whantd to see was a cross between the initial-d live film and the fast and the furious. and it was just that.

for those of you who say the drifting was unrealistic, lern how to drift. most of the drift coriography was wacthed over by Keichi Tsuchiya "the drift king" who even makes a small aperance in the film (the guy sitting by the peir with the blue jaket making coments on the drifting)

after waching the first two films again, the day before seeing tokyo drift. the acting particularly in the first film is terable. the third fims acting perfomances leave the first two for dead.

as for story line there is one, with an important message. one the people you chose to hang around determan the type of person you wish to be. and second. dont just street race for the sake of racing. if your going to race do it for somthingimportant.

so overall, i think it was an excelent film, ive all ready seen it 3 times and i plan to see it again.

Well,it's Sunday eve',and I'm still thinking about seeing the movie with most of SAU ACT on Thursday night. I reckon it was a top movie;OK,so some things weren't perfect,but I thought it worked well for the majority! My highlights were more general:seeing a heap of SAU'ers in one spot-more than I've seen in a long time,thankfully-laughing and getting along,faces I haven't seen for a while,new faces(Frink had a particularly notable one with him,and it wasn't his bro'!),nice cars filing into the carpark outside,as Bluprint has said a full row of Skyline nuts and nutettes,the "oohs' and 'ahhs' of fast cars and drifting,the well spotted appearance of the real Drift King in the movie(well picked, M!) and many more things...

Thanks to those who made the effort to come out on a particularly freezing night(mmm....more boost)-good to see y'all!

That was the worst movie I've seen in some time. It had some good bits, the drifting and girls were sweet. I really liked the mountian run and the shots in the city. Great work.

But the issue for me lay in the plot. Who throws the keys the their hot ride to some dude who they have never met before so they can have a go at drifiting??????

That aside, there were too many story shots, and not enough driving. I didn't think the acting was that great either, but it sure beat the last two.

But yeah, I'll wait for the DVD before I take a look again.

I am excitied that it'll help lift the profile of drifting .

Hey Viper, I don't think that street racing ever is a great idea, even if you think whatever its about is important.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
