Yeah the movie was pretty lame in parts.

No Vin Diesel = bad, he was a big part of why the last one was good (sic)/funny. I suppose he "got away" and kudos for following the plot but still... same goes for vince/mia/etc, that whole crew.

Also, fark me "Suki" was ugly! I'd hit it.... with a brick. She's far worse than Dom's g/f in the last one.... between losing mia and one ugly bitch being traded for a worse one, there was a shortage of quality poon in that movie.

It had a very different character to the last one, and while some parts were amusing the general impression was it was worse than the first. Enjoyed the night and going to the drive-ins tho, it was good :P

Yeah top night guys.

Hopefully I won't have to wait for another 20 years to go to the drive-in again...although...back then I remember the screen looking godly - at least 10 times bigger...

My first appearance so was great to meet some of you. Felt a bit left out next to Majanal and Duncan. If only I thought of the cardboard and tape spoilers. I could have turned my R33 into an R34 for the night...or a Ford KA Laser 5-door hatch. Next time bub.

Must admit, I went in there a little biased of the movie due to all of the bad reviewing it got from in here. But after letting the movie hold its own, it was some pretty good entertainment still. A little more cultural I thought having a black Vin Diesel - very Miami Vice.

But what the f*uck was that ending ? He's in an American muscle car ...YES... he got a pretty good runup along the shoreline on that dirt road which didn't seem to have too many bumps in it ... OK still possibly believable... he then pulls a perpendicular launch up a tree and clears at least 200 metres off shore to land on a boat and pulls up on a coin so as not to fly off the other end.

I know I have been reduced to wearing glasses at times due to working with computers all day so I may have missed the jet engine and gull-style doors he may have used...but did I also forget my physics and reasoning ? I know I know - Hollywood... Thats why I'll let them have the jump and the landing...just not the 90 degree turn from runup to launch...

Overall a decent movie, but I'd still prefer if MAJANAL organised an SAU movie production night where we make an Aussie equivalent. Fast and the Furious meets Mad Max 2 meets Herbie the Love Bug. (meets WWF ?!)

Bwahaha, thats exactly what I said to Tex whilst trying to park my car ...

"What the hell is with this bump" - It seems if you put your front wheels on it you get a great view of the screen instead of the back of someones car.

"Who the **** stole our speakers" - It seems only rows infront of us got speakers, the ones behind just got the wires to stick on the cars.

movie was ok in parts......but "worst ending evah!". I guess they're trying to keep the yanks happy instead of just ricers.

Funny part with the cars going into that warehouse. Im using that next time cops chase me - can you guys all go park in a diused warehouse until I need you?

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
