they better not do the f'ing car scenes in f'ing CGI again....

Of course they'll do CGI again, but more of it, the producers arnt trying to make a legit car racing movie, its all about glamorising everything up, entertainment! They'll probably have a car drive upside down or something stupid in the 3rd movie... hahah

Yeh i spose they aint so bad for the sheer hot chick and fast car appeal

but im more for a good story, real acting and most of all good cars.

I hate it how they just wake up and theres a brand new '10 sec' whatever ready for them to drive.. Ide rather them spend 30 mins of the movie showing the car getting put together while blending in some character story then actually getting into the action and main plot. That way we know the characters well, we've seen the work get put into the car etc

not just " these are your cars for today " now race to here and get my cigar

pfff

yeah cos the audience is really going to wait around for half an hour at the beginning of the film while the guys builds his car...:)

These films are pitched at the mtv 2 second attention span audiences, they are not going to waste time getting into anything, besides, a film usually always starts with a 10 minute opening action sequence to kick off the first act and get the audience pumped, so bring on teh upside down driving cars:P

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

dude, all in fun, hence the 3 x " :D " - relax, we're not racing for pink slips :headspin:

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??

Sorry,

I am an Ex- Toyota Nut

Have a closer look at this scene,

When they pop the hood, the motor is in fact a 2jz-ge not a 2jz - gte......

An RZ supra youre kidding right.......

All the parts that they have on the floor ready to place in the car are for a 2 JZ -GTE..... Funny that....

Also in the second movie you see paul walker racing his evo done the freeway.... But when he changes gear, the pedal shot is from a GTR......... How many EVO's have a R on the pedals.... Hmmmmmmmm

It's all Poo!

As has been discussed in other threads, GTR pedals can flow over 500hp stock, it is a good upgrade for an evo :D

How stupid of me to forget the bolt on power of nissan products on the red trident!!!!!!!

I must be punished!!!

ah man 40 minutes to read this thread from start!(i'm that bored)

hrmm... first of all, i am so gonna watch this movie just like the previous 2. all the people that are bagging this movie and the previous, i'd like to see you make one... and for the people that bag the cars.. i'd like to see YOUR car in it! wtf is wrong with hondas or any of the other cars in the movies, i love all cars...cept aussie cr@p and 'american muscles' oh and most of yous that are dissing the movie prolly never even think of getting an import til you saw the movie... so many things i can say because i really dislike brainless people bagging the movie like that and other cars but i ain't gonna bother....

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

is that the one where the guy in the evo flips his car while racing the STI, and he's like full dying (lol) and the guy is like "the rae has not finished" :headspin:

pretty sure i saw a little bit of it

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
