The new fast and the furious movie will no doubt be shit. i never paid to see them at the movies, but i must admit i hired them as soon as they came out on dvd. the first movie was pretty good, even with all the rice shit and numerous mistakes in it though. The second was for the first 20 minutes was pretty good, but the rest was appalling, i cant believe they killed off the mighty gtr in like 5 minutes!! (and if you look closely in the parking lot of that gay ass rapper/im almost an actor ludicrous' garage, you will see a "sick" hyundai coupe chillin out the front) Even if the third one is in tokyo its still gonna be shit as i reckon. Drifting has taken off in the states so there is a possibility of some drift action, but i bet it wont be hardcore japanese drift, itll be based on the USAs idea of drift, i bet that Vin Diesel will have a "sweet" pontiac gto with a huge GT-wing and 5 NOS tanks and he will take it with him over to Tokyo and beat all the hardcore japanese cars. I can see it happening. You gotta realise though, the fast and the furious will always be aimed at the mainstream, not at the more hardcore and more well informed car nut, like a lot of us are i guess. Its still in essence just another typical hollywood big dollar blockbuster action movie series. It relies on the special effects and explosions and all that other action jazz to entertain audiences. The fact its on cars i reckon is just because there is no other movies where cars play a sort of major part like that.

I vote that SkylinesAustralia.com be consulted to select the cars in the next movie lol, coz i dont know about you guys, but im sick to death of seeing 100000 honda civics and other assorted rice shitboxes in those movies.

lol... the mistakes in part one were good...

The one i particularly liked was when Paul walker brings the RZ supra into Dominic's garage (the ****ed up one) and dominic starts talking bout how shit it is... then they pop the hood and see the sorry lookin Twin Turbo JZ engine and dominics like "i retract my previous statement"

What the **** was he expecting under the hood of an RZ supra??

1st one was great, i could watch it anytime again and again.

I luv it how everyone pays it out....."i'm too cool for the fast and the furious" Don't watch it then.....simple???

I hope more ppl watch it and maybe boost the industry more......strength in numbers i say.

im not sure if it was legend of speed but once on world movies (just after fast and furious 1 came out) i saw a japanese street racing movie and it wasnt too bad. I think the bad guys were driving wrx sti's and i think the good guy street racer was driving an evo 6 plus he had a few other cars coz he was some rich bloke...i think he had a gtr on a hoist in his gargage but dont think he raced in it

Now for fast n furious, the lead cars were always top jap cars (evo, supra, rx7, and of course the good ol r34 gtr) but that eclipse thing is terrible, and, they have to stop using nos so damn much

For the fast and furious 2 dvd i love prequel thing showing how paul walker buys his r34 gtr from the car yard and then takes it miami racing a ferrari 360 along the way

Yeap that sounds like legends of speed, so many black evo5 copies wit SKY-*** no. plates in chinatown after that movie lol.

A real life initial D movie is also being made in chinese with some big name chinese actors in it. http://zombie.bigboon.com/eric/multimedia/...gofInitialD.wmv

yeah i heard about the sequel... seems its gonna be set in indo-china, home of the drift :( sound good.. and vinny coming back will make it even better...

the first FnF was better cos it was set in LA and was more laconic than the 2nd, which was a load of shit if you ask me.. set in miami, with grotesque paint jobs and even worser looking girls... no offence to anyone, but i thought the 2nd one was shit.. it was more of a advertising stunt for miami than a movie..

LOOK AT THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

makes me wonder what you were searching for GTRSRULE when you found this thread mate :) As you were the first new post and all... :D

someone close this thread, before they realise there might be an interested in another FF movie and we have to endure more crap from crap shows like TT, and ACA, and then attention from boys in blue. We don't want this movies being made. Well not during the current "import" climate.

m8 i was just reading the thread, aint no harm in that. its not like i was studying the dates. i wasnt searching 4 anything btw

found this on the web:

Premise: After being allowed to get away by his new undercover cop friend in the first movie, fast-driving criminal Dominic Torretto (Diesel) heads down to Mexico where he lives a life as a fugitive, always just 10 seconds ahead of the law. Eventually, however, Torretto makes his way to Tokyo, Japan, which is the world's current capitol of street racing, where he is recruited to help bail out a friend who is in trouble with a powerful group of Japanese gangsters.

relaeased summer 2005, who's summer? ours or theirs?

    • As GTS mentioned, it takes a bit of faffing, some fiddling and a little modifying.  With the strainers, you can buy different styles. Some sit flat on the pump, some angle down.  Here are some photos of mine, ignore the ugly welds lol. 
    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 🥴
