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:

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
    • It sounds farrrrrrr too cold at your place Duncan... Here I was thinking our 10 degrees overnight is getting cold...
