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...

yeah most can appreciate the corniness, but you'd never say it was a well made franchise lol, or anything other than mindless entertainment.

I think that they should have used a VL for the hero car though, just like in real life :)

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!

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.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
