lol, where the hell are they going with the cars?

Theres like desert, some island... :S

The one in those pics all seem to be the same car, looks to be a gtr. Theres a cage, mfd, fmic - turbonetics (the piping looks normal). Do all other skylines have the 2 horns at the front?

I'll watch it, regardless.

Thats the point though... they are made purely to make money, without an incidental shred of artistic integrity, of course they work, they don't just make movies like these and release them to the masses, they are shown to a test audience and recut and recut and edited until they appeal to the lowest common denominator, getting people into the cinema doors regardless of the effect on the storyline/plot development, hence the more discerning types tend to take a dim view of them.

this looks like it is taking the best from the 1st and second films.

story seems lame, basically number 2 again.

seen the trailer, they even do the whole truck hi-jack again.

ill end up seeing it because the movies entertain me, but im not expecting much, if the cars look the goods, scenes are fun enough then ill be happy.

Haha Fast and the Furious is awesome! I mean if you take this movie seriously you got to be a joke yourself.

Whenever one of my mates sees me, nearly everytime i go to him "whats the retail on one of those things?" he'd go when i see him in his Ford EL...."More than you can afford pal, FORD EL!" *revs gas powered pile of shit*

Its classic, great movie with heaps of laughs and gags...i mean seriously anyone that is on these forums and doesnt like the movie is weird. Not only is it corny, when the movie comes out most of the time the actual literal market value rises on our cars :D so most peeps that arnt in the know how or comming up from a younger audience see a Skyline and go i want one...you can guess what every kid is gonna want ythe same thing....Bang...your R33 that was 15K is now 17K Ching ching! :D

One thing id like to see is more techincal talk in the movie and engine talk, but then again that wont appeal for the general audience that goes to see cars smashing, doing stunts etc etc, people wanna see blue and white flames come out the back of your car when you press a button and have a giant scuba diving sized NOS tank in your passenger seat. Its all part of the fun, it inspires people to make great show cars, it inspires people to join the automotive scene, it gets people back on the wagon and talking. Why this thread itself wouldnt be a hot topic if not the case...

Awesome? Totally!

the comments that follow aren't meant to be too harsh..;)

In terms of taking the movie seriously; are you saying that you are a joke then? I mean you said it's a great movie. That sounds like you seriously mean it. On the other hand I think it's crappy all round and poke fun at it, doesn't sound like I take it serious but, I kind of like to think I'm still a joke too.

Truth is I think you stand out on this forum if you like the FnF movies. Making either the forum weird or you, possibly both? But, basically to like the movie puts you in with neons and dose pipes section.

It inspires people to make abortions of cars. They are 'Great' for a laugh however whether at a show or driving down the road. Thanks FnF.

It inspires people to buy a car (usually some sort of NA in the case of a skyline proving they are into the image not the cars), put on neons, a giant wing , stereo system that weighs so much it negates any performance, talk, dress and drive like a retard (ultimately crashing and increasing everyones insurance premiums on that type of car) and then in 2-5yrs time work out they actually aren't into performane cars just the image and buy a hybrid car and a house .

I think this thread is pretty decent 'Wasteland' Material too :)

I watched the first two movies again with my girlfriend last night, and she even laughed at the dialogue (not into cars or particularly artistic movies either), I did notice that in the first one the yellow R33 is about the only car missing the 15kg and metre tall wing lol. Oh and Paul Walker reminds me of a labrador.

And yeah 99% of comments in these threads are satirical like rev210 said, poking fun at a movie that walks the line of mediocrity and over the top cheesiness!

THEY ARE MOVIES FOR CHRIST SAKE THERE NOT MEANT TO BE ANYTHING LIKE REAL LIKE THERE MEANT TO ENTERTAIN PPL AND THOSE PPL THAT SAY THEY DONT LIKE THEM WELL THEY STILL ENTERTAINED YOU CAUSE YOU HAD A LAUGH ABOUT THEM. ANYWAY ALL IM TRYING TO SAY IS EVERYONE HAS THERE OWN OPINION I DIDNT MAKE THIS THREAD FOR PPL TO MAKEFUN OF THE MOVIES I MADE IT TO LET THE PPL WHO LIKE THE MOVIES THAT MIGHT WANNA GO SEE IT AND DIDNT KNOW IT WAS COMING OUT SOON KNOW THAT IT WILL BE OUT VERY SOON SO PPL THAT ARE MAKING FUN OF THE MOVIES GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND KEEP THE THE TOPIC OF THE THREAD ABOUT WHO IS EXCITED BOUT IT COMING OUT ETC. THE TOPIC ISNT MAKE FUN OF THE MOVIES. :down:

lol you can't seriously think that you could post about FnF on SAU and not expect the thread to go offtopic into Vin Diesel quotes or VTEC yo pics.

Its like posting about the coolest abortion technique on a catholic forum. Don't expect pleasant results.

Yea i should have know you all would have been so childish if you dont like the movies then dont read the thread simple as that your so childish you dont like the movies but you can waste your time writing in the thread you all should have consideration for other ppl and stop being childish just cause someone likes the movies that you dont i would like to see you make a franchise better that would make more money than the FNF franchise has. Be f***ing considerate to other ppl for once and stop wasting your time writing in a thread you dont like if you dont like the movies you try make fun of me making a thread like this well your just as bad for writing in it when you dont even like the thread or franchise it really shows alot.

i don't think its that people who post in here don't like f&f. I'm sure they like it at least a little bit. Its just that they like making fun of it a whole lot more :down:

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
