Yeah, I thought Nissan would've had a say, but than again.... FF is the only modified car movie out there. Why wouldn't they jump into free advertising? Of course if the director for FF was like "This R32 will break down and this R33 will lose to this Honda and the R34 will JUST beat a Supra" it could be bad marketing.

Well, apparently R34's are illegal in the states due to some "safety" issue? Didn't pass it in the states, I dunno, that's what I keep reading on youtube comments. But the fact they use an R34 in FF2 kinda defeats the purpose of not "using one", the fact they used it for a scene, one would only assume why not use it for the rest of the movie? Also, the R35 GTR was seen at the VERY end of FF5 - why not use it during FF5? Sure, if the R35 GTR loss to a car, a debate could be had given it's performance but.. yeah.. I just don't understand why they wouldn't use them.

they didnt use the r35 for 1 reason and i know what it is lol...

It was the FIRST 35 ever sold. the owner said they could use it IF he drove it, parked it and they couldn't touch it. the owner drove it, parked it. It sat there for the scene and then he drove home haha

But what is weird about FF is when they screened FF4 and then FF5 with the WRX hatch in FF4 and saying that it was the in between movie for FF2-FFTD the time span of the movie (when the story happened) was actually before the WRX hatch came out so was a little confused with that.

They didn't bother with Skylines because the whole domestic vs import scene is about ricified Hondas and stuff, well at least when the first one came out. They probably wanted to appeal to the kids who actually drive those cars, rather than some "dream" car that doesn't exist on the streets ever there.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
