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?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
