i'd pulled out too f i found out i was riding in an IS250 :D

lol, of all the cars in oz to choose from an IS250f would not even be an option, i would much rather something from a chevy car club, a nice low rider impala maybe, that would be cool.

its bullshit how they cancelled the tour, not surprised if Vin Diesel was double booked but Paul Walker...i feel sorri for the SAU guy who wud hav had the chance to take him around in his GTR...oh well maybe when F&F 5 comes out we'll b ready

the premiere movie showing is still on tonight, i'm still going, but just wont be driving paul walker from the hotel to the red carpet. must say it doesn't really matter to me, at least i still get to see the movie! :(

I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie. It looks really great compared to the early trailer that I saw of them stealing the petrol and about 20 seconds of flashes from the rest of the movie.

I watched a 20 minute behind the scenes video and I am very impressed.

Enjoy the movie mate. :(

do you need a date???

just to let u know ... i dont put out.. :(

Well it was fun walking down the red carpet which went for for like 30 meters haha. Lined with people waiting for autographs LOL :)

To be honest I didn't enjoy the movie.. too many unrealistic stunts/driving, and overall boring.. just didnt have the same feel of the other movies. It's timeline is set before the tokyo drift movie. the blue R34 used for most of the powerslides and stunts is a GTT. Some brief scenes were nice with the jap cars and girls... but not enough of it!! The storyline was crap, acting was crap, cars were average. I enjoyed the tokyo drift movie, but Fast n Furious 4 just doesn't live up to the hype.

Matt, where were you hiding all night?!

I agree about the movie, weakest in the series so far and the cars didn't do a huge amount for me either.

There was a substantial amount of girl on girl in the movie however :sick:

You can probably tell from the trailers and the recycled title that it wasn't going to be a quality movie.

I hate the F&F series using GTTs, NA supras and 540is and mod them to pass them off as GTRs, turbo supras and M5s.

wow so this will be a "possibly rent on dvd if i can be bothered and am so bored with life if i don't do something i'll off myself"

By the sound of it this a movie for torrents.

lol couldnt agree more... i always thought it was going to be, nice to have confirmation so i dont waste my money though cause some of the guys from work wanted to go.

Watching the specials on the first few movies, they use about 4 different versions of the same car. imagine the amount of money they'd have to fork out to have all 4 GTRs or whatever, and then how much it would cost to maintain them, seeing as two of them are used for stunts and end up getting smashed around fairly badly

They only had one real GTR and the rest were GT-Ts modded to look like a GTR.

Hopefully I won't be able to notice that in the movie. :(

    • 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.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
