Hey guys thought this would make a pritty cool thread, after all im sure there is atleast one car out there in some movie that you wish you yourself could drive. Some of the rides although in many films the cars they use are nuggets, they do look extremely beasty and many people do envy them.

So i thought idd start off this thread by giving my favourite car of all time even though the film is decently old now.

R34 from ' 2 Fast 2 Furious ' the car which sums up the start of the movie, until it gets run into a wall :)

No computer graphics, no stuntmen. 45 minute car chase. RIP H.B. Halicki, who not surprisingly, died filming an action movie.

There was only one Eleanor for the filming of the movie, which was low budget. Here it is today.

A real movie star.

Stallone's 1950 Mercury from Cobra. Looks different cause it was repainted for gone in 60 seconds.

Some things look better as they get older Bobby.

I'm a poor example. I was a '49 baby - and look at me now :D

+1 for Stallone's 1950 Mercury.

Also, the white 1970 dodge challanger from vanishing point/death proof and the audio slave "show me how to live" video.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
