lol, where the hell are they going with the cars?

Theres like desert, some island... :S

The one in those pics all seem to be the same car, looks to be a gtr. Theres a cage, mfd, fmic - turbonetics (the piping looks normal). Do all other skylines have the 2 horns at the front?

I'll watch it, regardless.

Thats the point though... they are made purely to make money, without an incidental shred of artistic integrity, of course they work, they don't just make movies like these and release them to the masses, they are shown to a test audience and recut and recut and edited until they appeal to the lowest common denominator, getting people into the cinema doors regardless of the effect on the storyline/plot development, hence the more discerning types tend to take a dim view of them.

this looks like it is taking the best from the 1st and second films.

story seems lame, basically number 2 again.

seen the trailer, they even do the whole truck hi-jack again.

ill end up seeing it because the movies entertain me, but im not expecting much, if the cars look the goods, scenes are fun enough then ill be happy.

Haha Fast and the Furious is awesome! I mean if you take this movie seriously you got to be a joke yourself.

Whenever one of my mates sees me, nearly everytime i go to him "whats the retail on one of those things?" he'd go when i see him in his Ford EL...."More than you can afford pal, FORD EL!" *revs gas powered pile of shit*

Its classic, great movie with heaps of laughs and gags...i mean seriously anyone that is on these forums and doesnt like the movie is weird. Not only is it corny, when the movie comes out most of the time the actual literal market value rises on our cars :D so most peeps that arnt in the know how or comming up from a younger audience see a Skyline and go i want one...you can guess what every kid is gonna want ythe same thing....Bang...your R33 that was 15K is now 17K Ching ching! :D

One thing id like to see is more techincal talk in the movie and engine talk, but then again that wont appeal for the general audience that goes to see cars smashing, doing stunts etc etc, people wanna see blue and white flames come out the back of your car when you press a button and have a giant scuba diving sized NOS tank in your passenger seat. Its all part of the fun, it inspires people to make great show cars, it inspires people to join the automotive scene, it gets people back on the wagon and talking. Why this thread itself wouldnt be a hot topic if not the case...

Awesome? Totally!

the comments that follow aren't meant to be too harsh..;)

In terms of taking the movie seriously; are you saying that you are a joke then? I mean you said it's a great movie. That sounds like you seriously mean it. On the other hand I think it's crappy all round and poke fun at it, doesn't sound like I take it serious but, I kind of like to think I'm still a joke too.

Truth is I think you stand out on this forum if you like the FnF movies. Making either the forum weird or you, possibly both? But, basically to like the movie puts you in with neons and dose pipes section.

It inspires people to make abortions of cars. They are 'Great' for a laugh however whether at a show or driving down the road. Thanks FnF.

It inspires people to buy a car (usually some sort of NA in the case of a skyline proving they are into the image not the cars), put on neons, a giant wing , stereo system that weighs so much it negates any performance, talk, dress and drive like a retard (ultimately crashing and increasing everyones insurance premiums on that type of car) and then in 2-5yrs time work out they actually aren't into performane cars just the image and buy a hybrid car and a house .

I think this thread is pretty decent 'Wasteland' Material too :)

I watched the first two movies again with my girlfriend last night, and she even laughed at the dialogue (not into cars or particularly artistic movies either), I did notice that in the first one the yellow R33 is about the only car missing the 15kg and metre tall wing lol. Oh and Paul Walker reminds me of a labrador.

And yeah 99% of comments in these threads are satirical like rev210 said, poking fun at a movie that walks the line of mediocrity and over the top cheesiness!

THEY ARE MOVIES FOR CHRIST SAKE THERE NOT MEANT TO BE ANYTHING LIKE REAL LIKE THERE MEANT TO ENTERTAIN PPL AND THOSE PPL THAT SAY THEY DONT LIKE THEM WELL THEY STILL ENTERTAINED YOU CAUSE YOU HAD A LAUGH ABOUT THEM. ANYWAY ALL IM TRYING TO SAY IS EVERYONE HAS THERE OWN OPINION I DIDNT MAKE THIS THREAD FOR PPL TO MAKEFUN OF THE MOVIES I MADE IT TO LET THE PPL WHO LIKE THE MOVIES THAT MIGHT WANNA GO SEE IT AND DIDNT KNOW IT WAS COMING OUT SOON KNOW THAT IT WILL BE OUT VERY SOON SO PPL THAT ARE MAKING FUN OF THE MOVIES GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND KEEP THE THE TOPIC OF THE THREAD ABOUT WHO IS EXCITED BOUT IT COMING OUT ETC. THE TOPIC ISNT MAKE FUN OF THE MOVIES. :down:

lol you can't seriously think that you could post about FnF on SAU and not expect the thread to go offtopic into Vin Diesel quotes or VTEC yo pics.

Its like posting about the coolest abortion technique on a catholic forum. Don't expect pleasant results.

Yea i should have know you all would have been so childish if you dont like the movies then dont read the thread simple as that your so childish you dont like the movies but you can waste your time writing in the thread you all should have consideration for other ppl and stop being childish just cause someone likes the movies that you dont i would like to see you make a franchise better that would make more money than the FNF franchise has. Be f***ing considerate to other ppl for once and stop wasting your time writing in a thread you dont like if you dont like the movies you try make fun of me making a thread like this well your just as bad for writing in it when you dont even like the thread or franchise it really shows alot.

i don't think its that people who post in here don't like f&f. I'm sure they like it at least a little bit. Its just that they like making fun of it a whole lot more :down:

    • Thanks! Will get it looked at before winter 🥶 other than that she's a mint ride love it aye 
    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
