Hey guys thought this would make a pritty cool thread, after all im sure there is atleast one car out there in some movie that you wish you yourself could drive. Some of the rides although in many films the cars they use are nuggets, they do look extremely beasty and many people do envy them.

So i thought idd start off this thread by giving my favourite car of all time even though the film is decently old now.

R34 from ' 2 Fast 2 Furious ' the car which sums up the start of the movie, until it gets run into a wall :)

Hope to hear back and see some of your favourite cars up on here

No computer graphics, no stuntmen. 45 minute car chase. RIP H.B. Halicki, who not surprisingly, died filming an action movie.

There was only one Eleanor for the filming of the movie, which was low budget. Here it is today.

A real movie star.

Stallone's 1950 Mercury from Cobra. Looks different cause it was repainted for gone in 60 seconds.

Some things look better as they get older Bobby.

I'm a poor example. I was a '49 baby - and look at me now :D

+1 for Stallone's 1950 Mercury.

Also, the white 1970 dodge challanger from vanishing point/death proof and the audio slave "show me how to live" video.

What about some of the cars from American Graphiti? The father of all car films...

Or Christine... the 1955 chev

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
