Well, I will be watching tokyo drift most probably this weekend - so I decided to start off my weekend with another import racing movie, "initial D". Story was a waste of time! But the racing was sooooooooooo cool!! The old school rx7 and the gtr looked bloody awesome!!!! Its in chinese or japanese, but there were subtitles - though that proved hard when I was gawking at the cars like a 10 year old school boy :P .

Anyway, if no one has seen it, Id recommend it, just for the cars, the skids, the high reving. The only down side to it as I said was the story was lacking sooo bad! The other thing is, there is some fat rich kid in that who was annoying the shit outta me!

Wished, they had the newer cars - but still, one can really appreciate the R32 gtr when its going around those mountains....sooo nice...

Anyway, I will post before I go to watch Tokyo drift on the weekend - maybe I will see some of you guys around.

I have only seen it recently too, but I wonder how much of the story is lost in the translation to english? is it dummed down for the american audience - just look at crouching tiger, I remember one scene where they sat down for tea and explained what you should have figured out so far, it was at thet point I had to stop watching and go find a copy with the propper subtitles...

"You'll nevar beet my R model car!"

"Teh GTR can nevar lose!"

* sigh

Such fond Initial-D engrish translation memories...

All I can say is thanks to all those Chinese pirate DVD bootleg sweatshops and their laclustre screening process for good English subtitle writers. You made my cheap, bootlegged eBay DVDs so much more satisfying.

I have not seen the Initial-D live action movie though. Cartoon to 'real' conversions have left me scarred since "Super Mario Bros" and "Masters of the Universe".

Should have start your import movie a year ago :laugh:. Don't know if you knew that Initial D has cartoon version too.

Haha, yeah - I shoudl have! Was an even bigger n00b back then! Just watched tokyo drift - couldnt wait till the weekend - man, soo much better than 2f2f!! The cars! The women! The whole plot was actually better than the 2nd one! But the thing i knew was gonna happen was that the ending was gonna be between a Jap machine and a Yank machine. atleast the mustang had the s15 engine in it.

Favourite part(s) - When han was going around that r33 gtr. 1) it looked so cool, 2) the chics in that were so hot :D

The other one was the chase - where the rx7 and the evo were trying to get away from the 350Z. Was totally awesome.

The only downside is, the movie makes people feel soo energised - its very intense. Hopefully, the recently licenced dont get all hyped up and do what the guys did in the movie.

wow..... s15's have rb26's! y0

Crap - was that an RB26 in the movie???? Ok, now it makes more sense as to why/how that car kept up with the 3-fiddy Z

Edit: why did they show the damaged s15 then? The emsta is confused - he mite have to see the movie again :D

I still think the 1st was the best, this third one come second and the second one is rubbish :D.

You can see typical Yanks try to promote the Z and the EVO but didnt' want to upset their texas cowboys (American muscle fan) so they used the Mustang yet they had the RB26 in it so that they don't upset the Jap either, pretty smart.

I belive they try to us a HINT that VIN DIESEL will be back and obviously there will be FnF four.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
