yeah, with the cobra stripes! so american..

i can't believe they got away with putting an R33 GTR in the first movie as like a car "extra" when it could have been equally as powerful as that supra :D least more powerful than all those silly riced up cars. ar well, hollywood!

i am pretty sure that lime green evo7 is what the main character... whats his name... will be driving... but have seen quite alot of pictures with that guy, yes that... err.. was his name paul something ?? , pausing in front of the silver R34 with two blue stripes... (maybe the 'line gets blown up like the eclipse in the first movie... :D :D ;) ...)

all the trailers i've seen so far , they were racing in the green evo7...

Well I'm just happy that the GTR will get more of a feature in this movie, than last time. Rob Cohen who directed "The Fast and Furious" is not the director in this one.

Rob really liked the Supra...(he got the idea after seeing a really nice riced up version on the street) Hence the Supra being Paul Walker's car. Although if you read his production note's he consider's the cars' characters.... (that's Hollywood for ya)

John Singleton is the director of 2 fast 2 furious. Will be interesting to read his notes about the film

They had 5 N/a Supra's made up and 1 2JZ. 2 were used for film shooting... as in they would use 2 Supra's for the driving sequences, and the others were for thrashing and trashing. In movie's car's last forever, going over jumps at 60MPh etc etc. In real life...I dont think so.....

It's MotoRex, not Motox !

They are the official importer for Skyline in the USA, mostly GT-R, even smaller volume compared to our import industry, so u can forgive americans ignorance if they dunno nothing about skylines...

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
