Hey Everybody

Has anybody seen the latest 350z commercial, known as the Run. Its 40 secs of one 350z hooning arond in Prague, France. Its absolutely awesome and I was fortunate to see it first saw in the cinemas.

But get this, the nice people at Nissan also gave me a demo disc with a recording of the commercial all for myself! :( So I can now watch it as often as I want.

The thing is, you can buy the full 7 min version plus extras on DVD. Has anybody go that? Wouldnt mind checking it out!

The commercial is very cool and it does indeed mimic a movie that circulated many years ago when a film director drove his ferrari through the streets of Paris very early one morning with a comera strapped too the roof to his model girlfriend waiting for him at the end. It remais one of the best peices of footage for car enthusiast going around. It and the ruf Porsche curculation around Nurburgring are my two favourite pieces of driving footage.

If someone gets a copy of the full version of "The Run" I would like to hear what it is like.

I think you guys should try downloading Getaway in Stockholm 2 from any of the shareware available (Kazzarr etc)

It features a Supra and Escort Cosworth gunning it around town.

The cooler part abt this (compared to the 350z ad) is that its actually done on public roads and its not staged.

There one part where they run from the coppers and u can actually hear the cops sirens fading away as they power off.

The last part the Supra hits 320kmh.

From what i read the cops were out looking for the 2 drivers after the video was released.

Rates 11/10...imho at least

Dude,

I downloaded it from the net using Kazaa. (File sharing program: www.kazaa.com)

Its quite large (100mb) so i hope you're using cable.

Search for video files under the name of getaway in stockholm 2.

Theres also getaway in stockholm 1 where they used a 911, but its nowhere as awesome as number 2.

Do it asap man, i dont know what bov the cossie used, but it sounded like a million dollars.

Apparently theres also number 3 but i havent seen that.

All the best!

Another one is a jap nutbag who took his F40 for a run through Tokyo. He got arrested, of course, but made more money by selling the footage than the fine was. :bahaha:

I got the cd-rom from Nissan in the mail the other day. Something missing in it, just seems too staged....

soulja, im on 56k, so it would take 1-2 weeks to download it anyways. lol

i downloaded the preview from the nissan site.

thing is though, i want the actual DVD, so i can play it on the home theater, and also for the special features.

im gonna head down to the local nissan dealer, will see if they have it there.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
