When Brian gets his 34 out the garage for the first race, wasn't there a blue GT badge on the front quarter. Thus showing that the car is a R34 GT (non turbo).

You got to take the movie for what it is, pure entertainment!!

I liked it, and wouldn't mind seeing it again, hopefully at the drive-ins on the 21st.

Ive seen in the last auto salon magazine a write up on the movie and the 34 in the mag is definatley a gtr rb26 under the hood even has a nos system on the intercooler to cool the core!

read that too...it's true...as people have seen photos of them having two gtrs one prob is a gtt of something cheaper just for looks and the others a money bag

there's 1 car that is the business, a full blown R34 GTR, used to be called Blackbird, owned by one of the motorex guys I think (sum1 correct me on that). Used to be a black beasty R34 Biatch that would make ya leave stains in ya pants if you saw it... then they got it and redid it for the movie "aggressive style"... ie put wierd riceboy decals on it and made it a billboard for every aftermarket manufacturer under the american sun.

The original car blackbird still lies underneath that ricey shell, and tis a beast n a bit.

THe rest of the cars they use for stunts could have been GT's and GTT's. I know for sure they wouldn't write off Blackbird, that thing costs more than a house in sydney. Apparently they had like 4 stunt double cars for blackbird.

I walked away from 2f2f feeling a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, i loved the movie for the cars, girls and the attempt to actually have a meaningful plot, but i went in to see this movie with high expectations from getting the initial adrenalin rush from watching scenes from the first movie. Was also a little disappointed that there was no REAL driving in this movie, most of this would have been either digital effects, or dummy bodyshells being pulled, pushed around a set...

All i can say, is that after putting up with all the stupid ****s that have walked up to my dual-horn button steering wheels on display in my store and pressing the horn button button and saying "Awwww NOS!!!!! PPPPPchhhhhhhhhh!!!!" from seeing the first movie, will now be pushing both horn buttons at once now and saying "AWWWW double hit of NOS 'bra' "PPPcchhhhhhhh!!!! Siiiiiiccckkkkk mang!!!!"

The amount of times that I have seen poorly educated enthusiasts press the horn button(S) for NOS, and getting a dollar each time, i could afford to buy that R34 GTR....

Some people just have no idea, it cracks me up every time, after exchanging glances between other co-workers which share in my amusement.....

agh, yes... If it the wrong engine loading and rpm, then yes, i'd imagine that there would be a very loud bang followed by a conrod finding it's own way to cool itself........(ie: straight through the side of the block!)

seriously, this would be very dangerous.... but that is what the "ricey arming red missile switch" is for!:bahaha:

    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
