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. :(

rb26/30 combo in a tuk tuk

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)

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:

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...

    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
