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.....

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
