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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
