sorry, decided not to spoil it for you.

What? you think I haven't read the book??? I have read all three of them in fact...

What I mean was how the movie is gonna be like, in terms of how they are going to describe the scene from the book to vision.... the way they design Isengard, Helm's Deep, Rivendell, the crater of mount doom itself, the way the landscape looks... What the battle scene looks like, what the spider that stung Frodo looks like....

No one will know until the 3rd one.... unless they release a sneak preview.

i liked the two towers, but i don't think it entertained me as much the chamber of secrets did (maybe im just a kid at heart :D) ....

that said, the special effects in the two towers were absolutely amazing. the fight scene at helms deep was tantalisingly real as it could get, some of the tactics used, such as the ladders, were just fantastic...

and the fightin trees and the water....oh how cool!

and how does appreciating a movie relate to being nerdy? :shake:

im so keen to see it i have read all the books except the 3rd one which i will read b4 the movie. I cant see it yet the cinemas are to packed and alot of tickets are prebought so im got some for sun night. I didnt like the way the story of gandolf(spelling) and bilbo was so compressed in the the first movie but to get this right they would of had to do a seperate movie so all in all they did a good job. You dont have to be a nerd to like a movie or a book thats like saying you a pervert for admiring a fine woman!!!!!!!!!:lol:

mad movie!  

Whats the name of the book for part three ?

I wanna read it before the movie comes out !

Anyone?

The 3rd one is The Return of the King - much better if you read them all though starting from The Hobbit.

Self confessed Tolkien fan

the film was great but i enjoyed FOTR more than TTT since Peter Jackson didn't play with Story as much in the FOTR.

He messed some of the story up big time.

Faramir, Eomer, the Elkengard (spelling), Haldir the love triangle to name afew things.

Don't get me wrong I loved the film as the effects were great and the battle was at Helms deep was amazing. Golum was awesome and I think hes portrayed better in film than in the book. I just think the few story changes Jackson made detracted from the film abit which made me enjoy it less than i would of.

Oh and a last note which twit reviewed TTT for the Sydney Morning Herald. Lol his comments made the West Australian and boy did he stuff up. Pointing out bloopers that weren't even there, from what he said it sounded like he hasn't read the book properly and doesn't know the story to well. ie he was complaining about things that where left out when there not due to shoe up till ROTK haha. Also pointed out that Jackson used his kids in the film and himself as an extra in the Helms Deep battle, why not its his movie and directors do it all the time. Man that reviewer is a tool.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
