i saw the movie, wasnt really that impressed with it. Its a little to fake for me. Its like there driving at 120 mph and can slide around a 90 degree corner. And as if you would even think about bumping someone during a race with those sorts of cars.

and i was tired of hearing the word bro all the time

and the colored flames out the pack, ppppft

and tell me any of those people would really be able to afford any of those cars. (if they werent movie stars)...

the girls were good though!

Didn't like the show. The generic drug dealer sting has been over done..... Toooooo much rice to trick people into thinking all the cars are legit 10s.

The first movie was sick, got my heart pumpin in the first drag----

Left the cinema this time real disappointed........

My 2 cents

other than the spark plug rig, you can't get away with constant flames unless you have no cat.

If you have no cat, then you might as well just shorten the exhaust and plumb it to the passenger side.

The taka kaira fuel limiter burns off excess fuel when you hit redline so u don't fubar your engine. Its an actual race tech with a lil rice value for show, but if you have a cat it'll melt your insides.

As for coloured flames, in yr 12 chem I remember if you put sulphuric gases intot hepath of a naked flame the flame turns orange, if you put chloric gasses it turns green etc. I'd imagine after the muffler there'd be an ignition plug, and an injector which feeds these gases as well.

the cars have 'stupid nerd factor', I get tired of explaining nitrous oxide to people after they watch fnf.nothing like fnf to provide tuners with an endless source of people to laugh at and make money from when they ask for things they saw on fnf.

Ive thought about that too. You could have all sorts of flames coming out of ur exhaust. Add salt get cool red flames. add little chucks of magnesium and have sparkling mega bright white flames. Add a few different chems and have a whole rainbow firing out the back of ur skyline!! :bahaha:

you all know you'd all give anything to bend the lead chix over that pink s2000 and inquire as to "who's ya daddy?" anyday.

I say watch it with an open mind, be one with the inner ricer. Experience it in the movie, let it out...

That way when you come out of it your inner ricer has been driven to insanity and no longer exists and your inner power pimp is unleashed...

hmmm das sum good weed.

the reason that r34 does not look as fat is not because of the graphics....its because its an atmo!! i was watchin flyTV the other morning, and they had an interview with 'Brian' a quick glance under the bonnet of one of the Supras revealed an engine that was all polished up and everything, but...no turbo, intake pipe went straight to the throttle body. besides, do u think they would pay that much money for an R34 GT-R Vspec II, when they are gonna blow it up eventually and people wouldnt have a clue whether its a GTR anyway...even they are not that stupid.

if u want flames, take out ur cat. leave the fake american stuff for the Lancers and Mirages... Skylines dont need any trickery.

cheers

Hey Ya'll

My fave bit of stupidity in that movie is when the show the accelleration factor, and they fake for ever to accellerate, and the continually change gears...

i love it when they stuff up the editing.. they won't win any awards for the Editor.... They show the "footwork" when Paul Walker changes gears in the GTR, and thats kool, you see the GTR logo on the pedals... then in the EVO VII they show the EXACT same gear change... GTR pedals and all....

Overall, its an OK movie... better than the first, l;ess crap than the first (the first movie - the 1 mile races take 2 mins....)

the r34 is a gtr...i have just seen photos when they were preping it..the guards are fat as anything...also an idea for the scene when they crashed it they used a gtt or something.seen inside the cabin and all the dash and screens work with all details like a gtr.

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
