they better not do the f'ing car scenes in f'ing CGI again....

Of course they'll do CGI again, but more of it, the producers arnt trying to make a legit car racing movie, its all about glamorising everything up, entertainment! They'll probably have a car drive upside down or something stupid in the 3rd movie... hahah

Yeh i spose they aint so bad for the sheer hot chick and fast car appeal

but im more for a good story, real acting and most of all good cars.

I hate it how they just wake up and theres a brand new '10 sec' whatever ready for them to drive.. Ide rather them spend 30 mins of the movie showing the car getting put together while blending in some character story then actually getting into the action and main plot. That way we know the characters well, we've seen the work get put into the car etc

not just " these are your cars for today " now race to here and get my cigar

pfff

yeah cos the audience is really going to wait around for half an hour at the beginning of the film while the guys builds his car...:)

These films are pitched at the mtv 2 second attention span audiences, they are not going to waste time getting into anything, besides, a film usually always starts with a 10 minute opening action sequence to kick off the first act and get the audience pumped, so bring on teh upside down driving cars:P

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??

Sorry,

I am an Ex- Toyota Nut

Have a closer look at this scene,

When they pop the hood, the motor is in fact a 2jz-ge not a 2jz - gte......

An RZ supra youre kidding right.......

All the parts that they have on the floor ready to place in the car are for a 2 JZ -GTE..... Funny that....

Also in the second movie you see paul walker racing his evo done the freeway.... But when he changes gear, the pedal shot is from a GTR......... How many EVO's have a R on the pedals.... Hmmmmmmmm

It's all Poo!

As has been discussed in other threads, GTR pedals can flow over 500hp stock, it is a good upgrade for an evo :D

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

is that the one where the guy in the evo flips his car while racing the STI, and he's like full dying (lol) and the guy is like "the rae has not finished" :headspin:

pretty sure i saw a little bit of it

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.
