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....

i saw it when i went and watched The Matrix Reloaded

what i wanna know is, does anybody know if you can just go down to your local Nissan dealer and buy the DVD, and they will have some in stock. or do i have to order it from the nissan site and wait 1-2 weeks like it says.

i want it now dammit :D

anyways, spose the best way to find out will be to go down to the local Nissan dealer. may do that sometime this week

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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
