The new fast and the furious movie will no doubt be shit. i never paid to see them at the movies, but i must admit i hired them as soon as they came out on dvd. the first movie was pretty good, even with all the rice shit and numerous mistakes in it though. The second was for the first 20 minutes was pretty good, but the rest was appalling, i cant believe they killed off the mighty gtr in like 5 minutes!! (and if you look closely in the parking lot of that gay ass rapper/im almost an actor ludicrous' garage, you will see a "sick" hyundai coupe chillin out the front) Even if the third one is in tokyo its still gonna be shit as i reckon. Drifting has taken off in the states so there is a possibility of some drift action, but i bet it wont be hardcore japanese drift, itll be based on the USAs idea of drift, i bet that Vin Diesel will have a "sweet" pontiac gto with a huge GT-wing and 5 NOS tanks and he will take it with him over to Tokyo and beat all the hardcore japanese cars. I can see it happening. You gotta realise though, the fast and the furious will always be aimed at the mainstream, not at the more hardcore and more well informed car nut, like a lot of us are i guess. Its still in essence just another typical hollywood big dollar blockbuster action movie series. It relies on the special effects and explosions and all that other action jazz to entertain audiences. The fact its on cars i reckon is just because there is no other movies where cars play a sort of major part like that.

I vote that SkylinesAustralia.com be consulted to select the cars in the next movie lol, coz i dont know about you guys, but im sick to death of seeing 100000 honda civics and other assorted rice shitboxes in those movies.

lol... the mistakes in part one were good...

The one i particularly liked was when Paul walker brings the RZ supra into Dominic's garage (the ****ed up one) and dominic starts talking bout how shit it is... then they pop the hood and see the sorry lookin Twin Turbo JZ engine and dominics like "i retract my previous statement"

What the **** was he expecting under the hood of an RZ supra??

1st one was great, i could watch it anytime again and again.

I luv it how everyone pays it out....."i'm too cool for the fast and the furious" Don't watch it then.....simple???

I hope more ppl watch it and maybe boost the industry more......strength in numbers i say.

im not sure if it was legend of speed but once on world movies (just after fast and furious 1 came out) i saw a japanese street racing movie and it wasnt too bad. I think the bad guys were driving wrx sti's and i think the good guy street racer was driving an evo 6 plus he had a few other cars coz he was some rich bloke...i think he had a gtr on a hoist in his gargage but dont think he raced in it

Now for fast n furious, the lead cars were always top jap cars (evo, supra, rx7, and of course the good ol r34 gtr) but that eclipse thing is terrible, and, they have to stop using nos so damn much

For the fast and furious 2 dvd i love prequel thing showing how paul walker buys his r34 gtr from the car yard and then takes it miami racing a ferrari 360 along the way

Yeap that sounds like legends of speed, so many black evo5 copies wit SKY-*** no. plates in chinatown after that movie lol.

A real life initial D movie is also being made in chinese with some big name chinese actors in it. http://zombie.bigboon.com/eric/multimedia/...gofInitialD.wmv

yeah i heard about the sequel... seems its gonna be set in indo-china, home of the drift :( sound good.. and vinny coming back will make it even better...

the first FnF was better cos it was set in LA and was more laconic than the 2nd, which was a load of shit if you ask me.. set in miami, with grotesque paint jobs and even worser looking girls... no offence to anyone, but i thought the 2nd one was shit.. it was more of a advertising stunt for miami than a movie..

LOOK AT THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

makes me wonder what you were searching for GTRSRULE when you found this thread mate :) As you were the first new post and all... :D

someone close this thread, before they realise there might be an interested in another FF movie and we have to endure more crap from crap shows like TT, and ACA, and then attention from boys in blue. We don't want this movies being made. Well not during the current "import" climate.

m8 i was just reading the thread, aint no harm in that. its not like i was studying the dates. i wasnt searching 4 anything btw

found this on the web:

Premise: After being allowed to get away by his new undercover cop friend in the first movie, fast-driving criminal Dominic Torretto (Diesel) heads down to Mexico where he lives a life as a fugitive, always just 10 seconds ahead of the law. Eventually, however, Torretto makes his way to Tokyo, Japan, which is the world's current capitol of street racing, where he is recruited to help bail out a friend who is in trouble with a powerful group of Japanese gangsters.

relaeased summer 2005, who's summer? ours or theirs?

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
