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:

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
