Nice looking, but if it wasnt in the movie it would be cooler. Also heard its not so fast as it looks (ToT)

but it hasn't been in the movies? it's a look a like. and there are tons of cars in films and very few of them every appreciate in value. something from a cruddy pop culture movie like FF3 is never going to increase in value.

And considering the one they used in the movie was built by Veilside there is a pretty big difference.

Its a little steep for an auto if you ask me though...

agree 100% on that point. the AT let's it down. but on the other hand a car with a massive stereo, full leather interior and a body kit like that is not going to be trashing around the togue doing 3rd gear entries... or ripping it up in a time attack or something, so maybe auto is not such a bad choice given the type of car it is....ok, what am I saying. MT would be far better, even given the cars purpose.

:rofl: exactly what i was thinking.

But then again they did drive it pretty hard in the movie :(

I think based on what is being displayed at Auto-salons and car shows around Japan recently, the trend has swung from "lots of go" to "lots of show". Hence why the car is in this kind of form. But actually there was one of these for sale with the same colours as the movie one before. Not sure if it was manual or auto though...

want one?? the guy who painted my car built some for Tokyo drift (hence post above) and is currently building another for a Prince in Saudi-Arabia along with the Yellow Honda NSX... long story..

haha was reading this on IMDB: "The VeilSide RX-7 driven by Han used to be a special show car built by VeilSide and crowned "Best of Show 2005" at Tokyo Auto Salon, reportedly worth $150,000. Just the custom leather interior reported cost $20,000. Universal got it for $50,000, and the crew promptly destroyed both the interior and exterior by repainting both (with spray-paint)."

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
