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.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
