This is probably old news, but for those of you who like drifting, Initial D is no longer just a manga series. They have brought out an Initial D movie. Its not too bad, and there are a couple of laughs in it. At least it is not americanised (its somewhat believable). Also, not sure which company it is but they are planning to bring out a video game based on Tokyo Drift. Should be interesting.

and who said evo's dont drift, go search for the reviews of the evo test drive on the Top Gear program and they certainly do drift bloody well, they aint no wrx 4wd :yes:

Here's proof.

All in all the movie wasnt too bad.

There were some good one liners at the beginning lol....

"This car has 500hp and does 0 - 60 in about 4.6 Sec", the american accent just kills me....

watched it last night...it was pretty good imo..more substance compared to the last 2 and less rice...or the mention of rice ie neons, subwoofers, NAWS...

The fact tht US drift champion Rhys Millen was responsible for most of the drifting sequences makes it believable...

But whats with the Yank accent??? Is it only me or does anyone else think that he speaks a bit like Forrest Gump?????

A pretty good effort overall from Hollywood....we should just take it for its entertainment value...

The ending was a nice surprise..:yes:

saw movie last night

i reckon it was a mad movie......some of the girls were dam fine

yea after the movie in the carpark everyone was going nuts ripping burnouts and saw an r32 and r33 revving the shit out of their cars...awesome flutter echoing the whole car park

I was a bit dissapointed with the representation of the jap drift scene, a bit too americanised imho, and i didn't like the main character dude one bit. The girls were fantastic though and that Aussie chick is absolutely gorgeous. I guess i got what i expected for an entertainment produced hollywood flick but i kind of did hope they would be a bit more realistic. Tsuchiya is the old guy fishing on the right at the docks. That EVO is RWD btw, still didn't like the fact they used an evo though.

i just got back from the drive-in's where i saw this movie, i went in expecting nothing and came out pretty pleased, i can honestly say i really liked it, the black 350z was tough, no stickers on it was what did it for me i reckon.

And on the evo topic there's a guy here in S.A called Tom Monkhouse now drifting an evo and doing quite well, i'll see if i can find a pic!

this movie was actually really good imho.

the first 2 were f**king stupid, this one was good because it was completely different in every way to the others, no cheesy pun lines or anything.

i like what they do with the muscle car in this, that was pretty cool.

i think everyone is just jumping on a bandwagon here and saying the movie sucked cause everyone else is saying it sucked lol.

Besides, the chicks were rediculously hot in this, anyone who doesnt like that factor of the movie needs to stab him self in the face ^_^

Killer movie,

Just seen it,

love it every bits, a movies with hot cars and hot gals, hmmm...cant complain!

Damn hot ass Chics,

made me wana go japan for the perve!!!! :P

They probly recruited all the hot babes just for the movie, lol

damn

i saw it yesterday....

i was physically cringing in my seat at his driving abilities (or lack of) at the start of the movie..... i think i will need therapy after seeing some of the things he did....

still a little bit too much rice for my liking, though NOWHERE near as cheesy as the last 2 instalments.

chicks were FINE :P

storyline was semi-believeable.

overall, i rate it better than the other 2 movies, and i didn't mind it TOO much... lets hope they make another one, and make it even better again!

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
