I know this is a little 'welcome to yesterday' - but I saw this for the first time on the weekend...

The stupid UK presenters make Ellis, Donnon and co sound like the Discovery Channel. I mean a car-magazine calling it a 'Skyliner' and noting an SR20DET powered S14 has an 8-valve engine? Hmmm.

Plus that disrespectful UK-only soccer holigan style humour is best kept in the UK and should never be shown to anyone, ever.

These things aside - the footage of Nagata san doing a 328km/h Wangan run in an R33-GTR all but makes up for everything else on the DVD. The other highlights are a very 'drifty' corner taken on a busy, rainy, city street - and the S13 doing a burnout that all-but melts the road.

BenHPI - if you read this: The HPI DVDs are vastly superior in nearly every way. Keep up the good work - but try and get some crazy Shutoko/Wangan footage in - absolutely sensational.

Oh - there's another 'movie' on the same DVD about the UK car scene... I'm so happy we (Australia) followed the Japanese culture and not the Brits. Front-wheel burnouts in Barinas surrounded by pale, toothless poms... Blimey :)

Oh - and while I'm reviewing... also saw Final Destination 2.

My one-word review: Harsh.

Slightly more extended version: Very harsh. I see now that Hollywood is using the power of CGI for evil rather than good. Kinda like George Lucas (Greedo shooting first - bah! I liked Han Solo better as a scoundrel).

I have never seen people killed in such grotesque, graphic and imaginative ways. I felt pretty harrowed by the whole experience. Cool (and bloody) car-crash at the start though. Always new Chevy Suburbans exploded on impact :)

Nice cameo from the Candyman. See it if you like blood and guts and seeing people squashed by glass.

I only saw Final Dest2 the other week.. nice accident scene but rest was a bit overdone.. the 1st was good at the time though.

For a nice slash over the top kill fest see Kill Bill.. saw that last night, good for mindless hacking in Tarrantino style.

Yeah i though final destination 2 was harsh too... i think i remember enjoying the 1st one more than i did the 2nd, although that smash scene in 2 was pretty amazing. I played the glass fall bit in slomode a few time too heheh.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
