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.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
