The convertable is known as a Mitsubishi Spyder, from memory is a Turbocharged 2 litre V6 4wd.... The Coupe is an Eclipse, which uses the Turbo V6 2 litre with 4wd, but I may be wrong about the new Spyder, they may have changed it recently. Dunno, and the 2F2F site doesn't help.....

from that NissanPerformanceMag interview:

NPM: Have you had the chance to Dyno your car?

C.L. No, but according to MotoRex, it made about 500hp without the nitrous. In my opinion, it's more like 440 or so.

woohoo - 500 whole horsepower? All at once???????? From an R34 GTR??!?!?!?!?! Amazing. We'll all be well impressed with that.

I'm sorry to be a downer, but I just can't get myself excited about a street-racing movie starring a GTR with 500 hp. It wouldn't even get a look-in at a Japanese "light-tune' street meet. That said, I enjoyed the first movie, but I think I'll wait till this one comes out for rental.

do you know how hard it is to make a honda hit 500hp man? you gotta put it in context. Sure you can make a GTS hit 500hp with the amount of money they spent on that GTR, but still... meh, think I jus contradicted myself... fvkkit... its like watching transformers man, like its all cool and shit but you know optimus prime ain't big enuff to convert to a semi trailer.

The "Self-fixing" frontbar is when the EVO ram-raids the gates into the boat shack on the waterfront when Brian and Rome R racin the otha dudes to get that "package" for Verone. Next scene after he ploughs through the gates it is virtually unscratched.

The Convertible Spyder was also briefly in the first film on the 1st drag nite when everyone is lining the streets.

I know it's hard to get 500hp out of a Honda, but it's not even stretching a GTR, so I just can't get excited about it.

I'm not sure if your meaning was this or not SydneyKid, but the mitsubishi Eclipse was the coupe, and the drop top is a version of the eclipse, called the mitsubishi eclipse spyder. The spyder in the movie seemed like the 4th gen of eclipses, so it uses a 2.4L inline 4, or a 3L V6 FWD, no turbo came out for that car, for that generation, nor did a 4wd version. The previous generations used the 2L turbo 4g63 from the evo's, and that was 4wd.

Ah, ok. I get confused with US Spec Mitsu's. They seem to change so often, and well before i can keep up. I now wanna know how a 2.4litre FWD can kep up with an Evo VII..... But uour right, it is a 2.4litre 4....

did u know they are maiing the a new movie for transformers...transformers are the best.

2 fast 2 furious was SHIT.....they cars are all teeny bopper poxy shit....id only watch for that fine ass latina...WHOA...cant john howard start getting latina migrants here instead these afghans...!

yeah new transformers movie coming out, and its not cell animation based, its like semi animated (which means people acting in beast wars style shit) by the looks of it.

And suki sux teh cawk... there's much much better looking asian chix they coulda cast. Or a korean chik... mmm inoccent good looks of a jap and tenacity of a chinese...

to clear up the convertible debate, it is known as the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder, and yeah it is that latest generation eclipse in the U.S but the one in 2f2f has a turbo kit in it :) i'm pretty sure greddy america make bolt on turbo kits for the eclipse spyder :)

adrian :)

it's about 20kUSD, or there abouts, it would have been about 40k here, if it ever came out. Hmmm, turbo kit, yeh, noticed it had the BOV sound, but, i didn't really expect it to be turboed, thought they just added those sounds for effect.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
