A grey Ford Anglia, a brown Hillman Hunter, a white Morris Minor and a duck 5hit green Mk1 Escort van which they use to pick up overnight parts from England that have arrived at the airport.

I like to see it set in India... with Paul Walker & Vin Diesel racing with donkeys, Tatas & finally a Camry modded with a T51R turbo like this

f**k the imports & v8s! The movie needs to have some realistic white goods car. :(

1 and 3 stand out for me as being more related to the cars and the driving thereof, whereas 2 and 4 have the most disgraceful storylines imaginable only made worse by the hideous cars and ludicrously irrelevant depiction of the scene and the people in it.

Lol

now THAT is a sleeper :D shame about that frontbar though, ruins the whole apeal of the car :bunny:

Let's look at the track-record of Skylines in the films:

The Fast and the Furious

- Leon drove a Skyline, can't remember if it was a 33 or not, although it wasn't featured enough.

- Canary-yellow, 'nuff said.

2-Fast-2-Furious

- Aside from the idiotic vinyls, the silver R34 didn't look too bad apart from the peacock driving it.

- "OMGWTFBRIDGE?!"

- Also marked the day that hollywood introduced thousands of street-racing fanboys to the absurd array of nos-purging nozzles as he rolled the '34 up to the start line. This was then carried over into NFS Underground 2.

Tokyo Drift

- Almost nil. There was the back-end of a 34 for a split second as DK confronted Shaun for the first time.

- Also, there was another brief glimpse of a skyline in the middle of the conga-line drift sequence.

Fast and Furious

- Can I just ask you all something first? In the scene where he picks out the three cars from the impound registry, near as I can tell he picks out two r34's and a r35, rips the white one to shreds and drops the engine into the blue one... So why for the love of all that's holy does he settle for the blue r34? I mean don't get me wrong, I didn't quite understand Nissan's decision to push the Skyline series into the luxury car market and not bother to call the new GT-R's either Skylines or R35's. We've already seen an R34 in a overly-drawn-out racing sequence in 2f2f, so why not go for the newer model and showcase that one?

- In the DVD commentary, Justin Lin states quite clearly that he's not a car guy. So if that's the case, who is to blame for the RPM gauge/screen thing? That thing looks like it's fallen out of Tony Stark's Iron Man helmet or something.

- "Sorry car." Yes, you f#*king heretic, you should be. You're just lucky that Justin Lin made all those picnic tables and benches out of balsa wood.

- "When you blew up your car back there you blew up mine too." "Yeah?" "So now you owe me a ten second car."

God help me, I hated those lines more than any other part of the film. If I had to change any part of the film, I'd have Paul Walker take that hatchback to the garage where he'd tuned the blue R34 and get the R35 GT-R that he clearly did nothing to. Then I'd have him dump the hatchback in the river or something because against Fenix's Torino it was useless.

Didn't mean to rant so much, I just couldn't help myself. I don't hate the films, I'm definetly looking forward to the fifth one, I just hope they put another Skyline in there and not just blow it up for fun 5 minutes into the film.

^^ Tokyo Drift had the Signal R34 GTR at the 1st meetup and the same 1 hammer past the FD RX7 on the highway, which I remember.

The 4th one, atleast the R34 GTR went for a more subtle look, which was better, no graphics / neons / GT Wing like in 2F2F.

2F2F also killed off the silver R34 with that fictional cannon, shooting that great big limpet EMP hook or whatever it was.

Interesting theory they came up with, that you can overload the electrics of a car and shut down the engine by hitting the DOOR PANEL..

I wonder how many horsepower they have???

Yeah man!

I think that's why they put the R34 GTR back in the 4th one as a bit of 'come back' for the R34 GTR fans.

:O @ DOOR PANEL!

It is just car fiction, these movies don't mean shit in real life.

If I was directing the film, the plot will have to take off from the 4th one, saving Dom from going behind bars.

(As hinted in the last scene of the 4th with Jordana Brewster in her Honda NSX)

So when Dom in rescued, his is considered as a fugitive and on the run from the authorities.

While on the run, there will be plenty of highway car action, crossing boarders, dodging authorities / spike strips / road blocks etc...

Till maybe they hit the coast and aboard a cargo ship / plane along with their cars and head off to a different country... As you assume the whole of USA is on the look out for Dom.

Maybe head back to Japan as there was a cameo of Vin Diesel in Tokyo Drift... Or head to Euro for a change of scenary...

I will try and pick the cars which have not been in the FnF movies or they may have but give them more air time...

The cars of the 5th Fast and the Furious should have:

Actually put the R35 GTR in, instead of picking parts from it and putting it into the R34 GTR

R34 GTR (Or maybe wait till they get to Japan)

EVO X

Yanks love their Zeds, so probably put a in 370Z (Powerhouse Amuse) it actually looks wicked...

To keep the muscle car fans happy, a Corvette ZR1

Dodge fans will love this...

New school Charger will be there.

Table_15_112608_issue_102_Original.jpg

Dom's Old school Charger will have to show up somewhere...

(Kieran mentioned about listing 90's car)

If the location heads to Japan, the cars will be:

R32 GTR Veilside Widebody.

R33 GTR Nismo 400R

HKS-R34-GTR.jpg

HKS R34 GTR

I am sure the R35 GTR will be in Japan...

If the location heads to Europe, I would have:

Underground Racing Lamborghini Gallardo

Ferrari F430

My all time fav, Ferrari F40

The film will consist of many inner city runs all the way to highway top speed runs and a mix of hill climb to down hill touge runs.

Sure a "NOS" scene will have to perform somewhere...

    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
