You thought exactly as I did when I posted that same pic back a month or so on here. However as I was told ..."Sorry its not a skyline as its shot in the USA and they don't get Skylines, plus, the indicators on the side shot from the clip (on the bumper) are different....

Sorry to burst your bubble but someone popped mine to. Awesoem clip tho.

Heheheh...... well

Matrix is shot in Sydney, but the highway scene was shot on a highway built just for the movie. The highway has since been torn down, it was in California near an abandoned naval base.

Because the V35 Skylines are global models, available world-wide, and they are/will be availabe in the USA.

The different bumper-tail lights are due to the many different variations of the V35 series.

I think it blows up or something in the end.... cos it wasn't fast enough or something. So I think its best this way.

However if they intended the car to simply go so fast that it just loses the pursuing vehicles, the movie would probably lose out cos it would get kinda boring..... so its better this way I think. :)

soooo... did the japs copy yet another design from another car manufacturer or is it the other way round this time... because both look very similar to one another.

down the drags a few months ago and in the pit lane a rx7 s4 and a porsche (whatever the model is thats like the s4, 9xx? ) were next to one another and its good to see the japs have their own unique way of styling things

:lol: :lol:

that shot is friggin crazy! the agent actually flips his own car and starts shooting through his own windscreen while he is flipping in the air just to get a few shots at the cadillac cts!!! that is insane! of course the agent doesnt give a stuff what happens after that cos he just goes back in through another human body / entry point or whateva the popular term is for that sort of stuff.

yeah... ;)

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
