i reckon they rice every car and makes it look ugly

it should be rice and the ridculous back wif more rice den ever

they even riced the amercian cars. The lanevo has clear tailights like is200 omg how can they do that

well not meaning to dis the movie but just don;t like what they do to the car, its good to see a car movie though now and then.

absolutely loved the first, cant wait till this part 2 cums out.

its good to c that they have more skylines in this 1, and ofcourse a 180.

didnt c any evo's or rexies though.

should be good. heard vin diesel isnt in it though cause he was filming pitch black 2.

wouldn't it be awesome if nz and serious performance did a similar thing. Ketzal Sterling could finally act out his dream although the accent would stufff it. But imagine cars like flyen,osmans,ghhost,yume,try09,denzo's whole collection etc with a bit of a plot and a bit of drift wars and drag action. I guess I'll have to wait for that phone call for me to direct it hey!!!!!!!!!!

for starters the clear taillights were out in america LONG before they put them on the IS200

go hire out the movie Edward Scissor Hands and look at the wanker in its van.

i don;t have any thing against clear tailights

its just an evo is an evo it is already good the way it looks like you don;t see that everyday you wouldn;t go put clear tailights on a skyline gtr would you. It just wouldn't be a gtr we come to know.

although they have released an evo7 autotech or something along those lines which has auto transmission and clear tailights so yeh.

OH! MY! GOD!

Is that a neon tube in front of the intercooler on the R34? (see close up)

Oh great earth, open up and take me know!!

wtf is this world coming to. If that is a neon tube, the owner and however fitted it should be shot.

looks sorta yes and no.. who knows...

its some sort of honda in america which the person had converted into a skyline the front and back its a replica.

The lights just give an indication of what clear tailight skyline lights might look.

here is another skyline wanab.

But let's not forget that the neon tube in front of the intercooler can actually INCREASE the airflow thru the cooler - depending on what colour it is :bahaha:

I'm gonna guess that one of those 34's gets blown up. That's what they did in the last movie with the little green Eclipse. Made a couple that looked identical and blew 'em up...If they do it this time - it'll be a sad day...

I wonder how you can drive with your front windscreen covered top to bottom in stickers. :freak:

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
