Yeah, I thought Nissan would've had a say, but than again.... FF is the only modified car movie out there. Why wouldn't they jump into free advertising? Of course if the director for FF was like "This R32 will break down and this R33 will lose to this Honda and the R34 will JUST beat a Supra" it could be bad marketing.

Well, apparently R34's are illegal in the states due to some "safety" issue? Didn't pass it in the states, I dunno, that's what I keep reading on youtube comments. But the fact they use an R34 in FF2 kinda defeats the purpose of not "using one", the fact they used it for a scene, one would only assume why not use it for the rest of the movie? Also, the R35 GTR was seen at the VERY end of FF5 - why not use it during FF5? Sure, if the R35 GTR loss to a car, a debate could be had given it's performance but.. yeah.. I just don't understand why they wouldn't use them.

they didnt use the r35 for 1 reason and i know what it is lol...

It was the FIRST 35 ever sold. the owner said they could use it IF he drove it, parked it and they couldn't touch it. the owner drove it, parked it. It sat there for the scene and then he drove home haha

But what is weird about FF is when they screened FF4 and then FF5 with the WRX hatch in FF4 and saying that it was the in between movie for FF2-FFTD the time span of the movie (when the story happened) was actually before the WRX hatch came out so was a little confused with that.

They didn't bother with Skylines because the whole domestic vs import scene is about ricified Hondas and stuff, well at least when the first one came out. They probably wanted to appeal to the kids who actually drive those cars, rather than some "dream" car that doesn't exist on the streets ever there.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
