Just one more little gripe I have about the first film.

I also found it peculiar that the director thinks that the underside of a Mitsubishi Eclipse features a 1' x 1' square of diamond-plate steel.

That conveniently sheared off all its bolts when the MANIFOLD started to overheat.

So the heat from an overly-stressed manifold, as indicated by the Atari-style graphics on the laptop shouting "WARNING! DANGER TO MANIFOLD!", is enough to melt the dozen-or-so bolts holding a diamond-plate panel onto the bottom of a car, which is almost in the middle of the underbody.

Cheers Hollywood, your sense of logic is charming but... bleh.

Editors Cut!!!

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

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

well the eclipse is fwd, so maybe all that torque pulling on the engine mounts was enough to pop the rivets holding it in, lol.

as for the EMP killing the ecu from the door, i'd believe it. doesn't have to kill the ecu itself, only has to kill the battery and coils, or even just a heap of relays, and since the engine and the battery are earthed to the body, hitting any metal panel will do really.

lol apparently the 34gtr in the last movie was just a 34gtt with a full gtr kit on it...

there was s tory about the theives who broke in to steal it -

They usualy have 3 or 4 stunt cars with one hero car. But there was a shot in the movie of a close up of the dash and it was a gt dash that only went up to '180' *i think*. dont the gtr dashes go up to 300 or is that the nismo dash.

That would be the Nismo dash or The V-Spec II N1 (I think) / V-Spec II Nur / M-Spec Nur dash (definitely 300 Km/h)

2F2f would have just used a stock base model / V-Spec / V-Spec II with the 180 Km/h dash.

Continuing on from my original India F&F 5 idea, I expand on:

The movie needs to feature some of these MAD things.

0 - 100 takes 20 seconds... MAD! :P

Then Vin Diesel can say "I live my life 1/4 mile at a time, in those 120 seconds, I'm free."

Stick with the 1st donkey drag races, then tatas, then Paul Walker & Vin Diesel will go their separate ways in choosing & modding their cars:

Paul Walker will stick to his usual turbo route & end up buying a white 2002 model Toyota Camry from a local tax accountant & then chuck a T51R turbo on it, while Vin diesel will go with his usual muscle V8 route & get one of these bad boys: Resized%20DSCK0970.jpg and drop a LS7 in it.

sure it wasnt in MPH, it is america remember...

yar it was in KPH, i R34's in 2f2f and the 5th fast and furious were right hand drive anyway. and in the 5th one i dont see why theyd rip out the mfd (if it was a gtr) in order to put a fancy screen the size of my computer monitor.

It would have been a JDM Import and I do remember the speedo in Km/h.

LOL!

That fancy screen was rubbish, stock GTR MFD is good as it is.

your taking it wayyyyyyyyyy to seriously man

what really counts is for that 10seconds or less .... your free :P

i guess someone owes them a 10 second car.

Back to the thread they need an r35. (Speaking of which didnt paul walker pretty much choose one in the 5th when he was picking his car , he picks a white r34 a red 35 and the blue34 and says "i want em all" and then doesn't use the r35.) something well known like mines or zele. wasnt their a japanese movie with the top secret gtr in it?

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
