rev210 and Sydneykid:

As a matter of fact our shop is on the Gold Coast, and i might just get some NOS stickers and decals put onto the dual horn buttons...

but that would only encourage people to press them even more....

besides it makes my day when clueless enthusiasts can't determine the difference between what they've seen in a movie and what is REAL in the reality....

One of out suppliers is starting to get a bit unhappy with all of our quotes we are getting for our customers on NOS kits, bottles, solenoids, foggers, etc, etc that don't follow through into a special order, as more often than not most people can't afford these kits...

Have a look at the R34 on cardomain

This is apperently the car used in the movie, you can see for yourself that it does in fact have an RB26 in it. It does have the GTR logo on the front grill however the car is listed under the normal Skylines not the GTR's so i dont know wots going on there.

unless however this is purely a showcar for the movie, considering this car does 12.1 second quarters and nowhere near what is achieved in the movie but neway its still a pretty nice 34.

Zensoku,

Maybe you can offer the rice boy's a NOS sticker up front and say things like ' with this $200 sticker you won't even need the kit! '

Nothing like time-wasters to ruin it for the rest of the genuine customers like myself. I'm almost dreading the next call to my local bottle filler cause I know there's bound to be a bunch of fnf idiot-wanna-be's hanging around. I wish I had a Ozrace kit then I could just go to BOC for a refill.

I can get flames out the exhaust when I bounced off the limiter... Quite easily actually :)

No switch in my car! :)

I'm not saying its not fake, all i'm saying is how can it be done in REAL life. I like the idea of having flames out of the exhaust it looks good (not all the time though, probably with a switch or something).

I saw it yesterday....It started off awesome then just lost the intensity! I miss Vin Diesel! Funniest line in the movie is where the Fro dude rings up Paul Walker and says "Yo, wanna race?" & he says "Yeah I cud use tha money".....yet he's got an R34 GTR in his garage decked out with tha biggest NOS bottles! The things we do 4 our cars.......

:burnout:

it was funny when he calls "brian" and asks if he wants to run and he goes "yeah i need the money", then proceeds to get into a 150k+ car.

anyway, hot cars, hot chicks, it's all good!

i'm not normally a rice fan, but it was the time and the place.. you couldn't really have cars WITHOUT stickers in the movie!

i loved how they filmed the first race scene. and at least they kept it correct (skyline and supra in a diff league to the s2000 and rx-7! *flame* *flame*!)

yeah, but the skyline needed some suspension work... should have gone past the supra on every corner, then pulled away.... but somehow, with a crap driver, he never went past the supra.....

S of S

hhahhaha timmy :D thats a classic ... with all them turns .. as if ... but in a straight line ... maybe .. and the bit where he goes "i cud use the money" thats exactly what i was thinkin to myself ... how the hell can he afford a 150k car ... same goes for the rest of the racers .. the supra guys girl friend .. "u know we need the money" and they are all driving 150k+ cars hahahaa jap cars must be really cheap there ...

    • Ha ha, all good! I've almost caved in and realised I'm buying one.  I know myself well enough by now that I will start chasing ADHD butterflies half way through building it and not finish it so I'm better off spending the extra money buying one instead of making one just so I can get into straight away.  I would very much enjoy making one as fabrication is probably a strength and definitely a passion but I don't want that to be at the detriment to the car I'm ultimately building it for! There's some pretty good ones around for ~$1100 at the moment so I think I'll just go that way.  At the end I sell it or as mentioned, get another project to make further use of it! Thanks gents.  
    • That link was very helpful thank you.
    • That is the option code, not the VIN. Regardless all of that production is considered series 2: https://gtr-registry.com/en-ecr33-vin-table.php
    • Apologies if I sounded like a arse My point was that you will not be able to buy a rotisserie that suits your car, you get the rotisserie frame, and then fabricate parts to mount the rotisserie frame to the body The rotisserie side is easy, but the fabrication of the actual mounts is the tricky part, where to mount so you don't bend/twist the body, plus the geometry involved to get it to turn  If your capable at fabrication, and can work out where the C/L is in relation to the weight is so it actually can turn, you should be sweet I would love to see the progress on this just for the thought processes and fabrication
