Yeah I'm paranoid about this living alone, so try and keep my eye out when I go out if any new cars sitting in the street or dodgy random behaviours, got motorbike / trailer locked up etc.

They are the ultimate turn your brain off movies; the cult following arguably appeared because people took the piss out of the first movie, even if it's now ironically the most realistic one. Producers cashed in on the appeal to ridiculous action? Can't help but wonder if they'd have been as successful if the storylines and action were kept to a more realistic level and cop/racing plots, drugs/gangs etc. instead of the James Bond stuff. I doubt it. The cars feel very much an afterthought in the movies - literally would have been the last inclusion in the writing where they were just looking for places to include performance cars in a film no longer about them. Lambo in the snow? Movie could have worked without any of the cars.

no different to avengers, super hero movies, pretty well all films could be under this banner.

 

you don't pay money to go see a documentary, you go to be entertained for 2 hours by things that go bang.

 

Not seen it yet but will prob go in next couple weeks just for shit and giggles.

On another note, just saw DECA results - only 34 cars? I guess that's what happens when it's put on the F1 weekend? :\ 

Keen for the next one as didn't make this one..

Why do people go see it when they KNOW it's gonna be silly, stupid, unrealistic shenanigans yet still LOVE to complain about it after paying to see it on release week?! 

Maybe they see it so they can complain? See previous post about cult following because people can take the piss out of it...

I expect ridiculous action but they could at least put effort into the writing of the plot which has never been awful...and keep in mind continuity for the previous movies...would take about 20 hours of work for a movie that costs 250 million. I felt much more connected to the characters in the previous films. Maybe absence of Brian?

as of about 4 months ago.

 

no new policies and all current to be spit between AAMI and Shannons depending on the car.

no great loss really had the combined worst bits of AAMI and shannons in one ugly package. and no real lost of competition as the same company ran all three anyhow.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
