yeah rhys millen set up the Evo's for the movie (all the stunt ones were RWD from memory), and he's no stranger to em...

love the number of cameo's in the movie from "people in the industry" that you'd only pick up if you weren't a newbie.

They should have a spinoff TV show or something on it about the life of Han... he's probably the only character that's even half decent in all 3 fast n furriest movies.

As for the cars in the movie... all of the hero cars (with the exception of the S15) are available in the US. US movie, US cars. What bollocks... only a splattering of S13's, AE86's and Skylines for "oh shit it must really be japan" sake.

You could hear who the real car enthusiast's were though, because when that S15 hit the pole sideways, some laughed and others nearly threw up.....

Damn right there mate, cringed everytime that crunched that silvia. Stupid thing was that when he crashes the Evo at the docks against various things, it seems like that car was made of rubber...just didnt have any effect on its bodywork at all!

Too many american accents for it be in 'Tokyo' for my liking.

The thing that did it for me was when they were in the RX7 and the R34 blasts past on the wangan...that sweet RB sound...then it got better when he 'hits the gas' and bounces that 13B off the limiter. Two of my favourite sounds in the world - shame though, if only they had really buzzed that rotary instead of just dubbing the sound over! (If you dont know what im on about, watch the tacho vs the sound)

Final word - surpisingly not totally crap.

Gotta love that Nismo Mustang. >_< I'm sure it would have made a few V8 fanboy's cringe, but still very sweet.

yeah that'll be to appease all the american fanboys who seem to want to stick RB engines into everything from their 240sx's to their hondas.

Over here its cool to put a LS1 in a skyline shell that you pick up for a couple of grand :D Or actually own a mustang with a proper ford engine... now that's an achivement.

the album for this movie is awesome, it does my stereo system justice.

although, i feel weird driving around in my commodore with the jap music LOL, but then again, ive ussualy got the bass up and the treble down, and my tweeters are ussualy disabled so all i can here is doof doof fkn doof....

anyways, album = cool, go get it biatches.

EDIT :

Hey, what do you guys rekon of a prequal for this movie? my brother was saying they should do a prequal of when vin dick..i mean diesel was friends with han, i rekon that would be pretty cool but i think it would be unrealistic for them to focus on muscle cars, UNLESS they base it back in america, wich would be gay, damn americans.

Also, have any of you seen "Shuto Kousoku Trial 3". It stars keiichi tsuchiya and its meant to be the movie that inspired the fast and the furious.

i just got it but havent bothered to watch it because it looks really...really old, BUT..i did see a gtr in it so i might watch it :D

Man that album is soo warped. Only good track on it is the Mustang Nismo, cos no screechy Jap girl is squealing in it. OK maybe thats a bit harsh but damn japanese have some weird music. :D

Prequal would sound pretty good too. At least Forrest would be gone. "Life is like a box o' used spark plugs..."

Shuto Kousoku is a series of 6 movies or something from way back in the day that basically covers the highway racing/culture of the time. I think the first one dosen't have Tsuchiya, but the rest have em (2 thru to 6). I remember getting it on VHS aaages ago, might still have it around.

The soundtrack was ghey. The only decent tracks in it were the ones by the Teriyaki Boys (the title song, not that rubbish with daddy yankee), Slash and Evil Nine. The rest was just reggaeton/hip hop garbage strung together to sell to the masses. And yeah J-Pop/Electronica sucks balls.

I bought the album the other day and enjoy quite a few of the tracks, especially DJ Shadow feat. Mos Def - "Six Days" but on the album it doesnt have "Whistle Song by Juelz Santana does yours have it? because on Amazon it seems to be on it. >_<

If they were to only use your common everyday S13 - S15 in th emovie, then how damn boring would that have been...

Also if you did your reasearch...or even put 2 and 2 together, you will realise that the EVO was built by Rhys Millan, and no longer AWD.

damn betme to what i was gonna say to that post lol.

i liked it, way better than the 2nd one, but of course nothing beats the origional.

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
