watched 2 fast 2 furious today. >_<

near the start of the movie when he first comes to race in the r34, as he drives through the pack of people he gives it revs or something and gas, steam or something comes out of the side of the car... i think it comes out of flutes in the guards or something.

i thought it was pretty cool.

NOW. does anyone know how its done or what creates this cool effect? is it something to do with releasing pressure in the atmosphere via turbo/turbos? and if its possible for it to be done with a wider range of vehicles? or is it just a movie thing....

and i know it would be illegal... :laughing-smiley-014:

cheers

Heard a rumor of people using fire extinguishers as fake tanks with thier sytems and using CO2 mixed wit something. Heard watever it is strips your paint. Anyone come accross a wanker with something similar to this on thier car (hopes and prays its not on a skyline) >_< ??

i dont keep the bottle in the car at all for daily driving, only goes into the car when at a show for dyno and track use only.

it is defectable, and yes i know that.

touch wood nothing happens.

its a blue led light you can buy separatly for the effect, as it gets higher it looks like this :

it definatly draws a crowd!

fact 1: the fast and the furious is not a guide for modifying your car

fact 2: if you decide to go this route, be f*cking careful, its all well and good to see paul walked spray it over some chick and get 'the look' from her, but reality dictates that nitrous oxide can cause cold burns (i think lol)

don't ever nitro purge near someone who's smoking :)

its more wank than anything else as portrayed in the movie... betcha half the muppets that run the system after watching that movie don't even realise its to get the air out of the lines. Cos you know... running a nitro purge for more than a couple of seconds really is pointless. the air's out of the lines... now get the f**k on with it and stop wasting the shit.

the other reason would be to relieve the pressure buildup from expanding nitrous stuck between the solenoid and the closed bottle after you use it on a run. if you don't relieve the lines the pressure can wreck your solenoids and connections in the long term. bet you don't see any cars in F&F venting after their runs.

thats a really cool effect, it looks alot better than large amounts of it comming out the side like in the movie

can also make i giggly and sleepy :)

Screw date rape drugs, just nitrous purge the chick for a minute until she starts passing out :(

I have a nitrous bottle sitting in my room, so tempting to get it refilled and install it in the skyline, hmm maybe one day.....

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
