watched 2 fast 2 furious today. >_<

near the start of the movie when he first comes to race in the r34, as he drives through the pack of people he gives it revs or something and gas, steam or something comes out of the side of the car... i think it comes out of flutes in the guards or something.

i thought it was pretty cool.

NOW. does anyone know how its done or what creates this cool effect? is it something to do with releasing pressure in the atmosphere via turbo/turbos? and if its possible for it to be done with a wider range of vehicles? or is it just a movie thing....

and i know it would be illegal... :laughing-smiley-014:

cheers

Heard a rumor of people using fire extinguishers as fake tanks with thier sytems and using CO2 mixed wit something. Heard watever it is strips your paint. Anyone come accross a wanker with something similar to this on thier car (hopes and prays its not on a skyline) >_< ??

i dont keep the bottle in the car at all for daily driving, only goes into the car when at a show for dyno and track use only.

it is defectable, and yes i know that.

touch wood nothing happens.

its a blue led light you can buy separatly for the effect, as it gets higher it looks like this :

it definatly draws a crowd!

if u watch this vid my car is in it within the forst 30 seconds, and shows the purge

fact 1: the fast and the furious is not a guide for modifying your car

fact 2: if you decide to go this route, be f*cking careful, its all well and good to see paul walked spray it over some chick and get 'the look' from her, but reality dictates that nitrous oxide can cause cold burns (i think lol)

don't ever nitro purge near someone who's smoking :)

its more wank than anything else as portrayed in the movie... betcha half the muppets that run the system after watching that movie don't even realise its to get the air out of the lines. Cos you know... running a nitro purge for more than a couple of seconds really is pointless. the air's out of the lines... now get the f**k on with it and stop wasting the shit.

the other reason would be to relieve the pressure buildup from expanding nitrous stuck between the solenoid and the closed bottle after you use it on a run. if you don't relieve the lines the pressure can wreck your solenoids and connections in the long term. bet you don't see any cars in F&F venting after their runs.

thats a really cool effect, it looks alot better than large amounts of it comming out the side like in the movie

can also make i giggly and sleepy :)

Screw date rape drugs, just nitrous purge the chick for a minute until she starts passing out :(

I have a nitrous bottle sitting in my room, so tempting to get it refilled and install it in the skyline, hmm maybe one day.....

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
