yeah rhys millen set up the Evo's for the movie (all the stunt ones were RWD from memory), and he's no stranger to em...

love the number of cameo's in the movie from "people in the industry" that you'd only pick up if you weren't a newbie.

They should have a spinoff TV show or something on it about the life of Han... he's probably the only character that's even half decent in all 3 fast n furriest movies.

As for the cars in the movie... all of the hero cars (with the exception of the S15) are available in the US. US movie, US cars. What bollocks... only a splattering of S13's, AE86's and Skylines for "oh shit it must really be japan" sake.

Damn right there mate, cringed everytime that crunched that silvia. Stupid thing was that when he crashes the Evo at the docks against various things, it seems like that car was made of rubber...just didnt have any effect on its bodywork at all!

Too many american accents for it be in 'Tokyo' for my liking.

The thing that did it for me was when they were in the RX7 and the R34 blasts past on the wangan...that sweet RB sound...then it got better when he 'hits the gas' and bounces that 13B off the limiter. Two of my favourite sounds in the world - shame though, if only they had really buzzed that rotary instead of just dubbing the sound over! (If you dont know what im on about, watch the tacho vs the sound)

Final word - surpisingly not totally crap.

Gotta love that Nismo Mustang. >_< I'm sure it would have made a few V8 fanboy's cringe, but still very sweet.

yeah that'll be to appease all the american fanboys who seem to want to stick RB engines into everything from their 240sx's to their hondas.

Over here its cool to put a LS1 in a skyline shell that you pick up for a couple of grand :D Or actually own a mustang with a proper ford engine... now that's an achivement.

the album for this movie is awesome, it does my stereo system justice.

although, i feel weird driving around in my commodore with the jap music LOL, but then again, ive ussualy got the bass up and the treble down, and my tweeters are ussualy disabled so all i can here is doof doof fkn doof....

anyways, album = cool, go get it biatches.

EDIT :

Hey, what do you guys rekon of a prequal for this movie? my brother was saying they should do a prequal of when vin dick..i mean diesel was friends with han, i rekon that would be pretty cool but i think it would be unrealistic for them to focus on muscle cars, UNLESS they base it back in america, wich would be gay, damn americans.

Also, have any of you seen "Shuto Kousoku Trial 3". It stars keiichi tsuchiya and its meant to be the movie that inspired the fast and the furious.

i just got it but havent bothered to watch it because it looks really...really old, BUT..i did see a gtr in it so i might watch it :D

Man that album is soo warped. Only good track on it is the Mustang Nismo, cos no screechy Jap girl is squealing in it. OK maybe thats a bit harsh but damn japanese have some weird music. :D

Prequal would sound pretty good too. At least Forrest would be gone. "Life is like a box o' used spark plugs..."

Shuto Kousoku is a series of 6 movies or something from way back in the day that basically covers the highway racing/culture of the time. I think the first one dosen't have Tsuchiya, but the rest have em (2 thru to 6). I remember getting it on VHS aaages ago, might still have it around.

The soundtrack was ghey. The only decent tracks in it were the ones by the Teriyaki Boys (the title song, not that rubbish with daddy yankee), Slash and Evil Nine. The rest was just reggaeton/hip hop garbage strung together to sell to the masses. And yeah J-Pop/Electronica sucks balls.

I bought the album the other day and enjoy quite a few of the tracks, especially DJ Shadow feat. Mos Def - "Six Days" but on the album it doesnt have "Whistle Song by Juelz Santana does yours have it? because on Amazon it seems to be on it. >_<

If they were to only use your common everyday S13 - S15 in th emovie, then how damn boring would that have been...

Also if you did your reasearch...or even put 2 and 2 together, you will realise that the EVO was built by Rhys Millan, and no longer AWD.

damn betme to what i was gonna say to that post lol.

i liked it, way better than the 2nd one, but of course nothing beats the origional.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
