yo yo, hang on the turbo on one side thing, i heard somebody said something about flame thrower kit, ya? ya i heard of it before and they said they just fixed another ignition system with a automatic cut off for the coil, any body had any idea of an efficient way to cut off the primany circuit of the coil? or any suggestions?

An open, hook it to a switch and you are good to go.

wait, a bit of history, the scc said the camaro-stripe skyline had an almost stock rb26, and it ran slower than a stock skyline, meaning- 280hp or less. but thats beside the point, somewhere along i heard that the car originally belonged to c.g, whoever he is, and it was called blackbird, it was black, it had a powerfully modded engine, the owner sold it for a diablo. then i saw another site that has photos of the original car, which was blue, had a sporty red line on the side, and was owned by the same guy, but after the movie was finished he painted it blue and red again because the fnf design was "horrible". and now someone says the car actually had a toyota engine in it. what the hell? someone tell me everything in a nutshell.

and dont flame me for being so curious in a shitty movie, i only want to know which is rumor and which is true. and yes i hate the movie, dont worry

It did not have a Toyota engine.

Craig Leiberman(sp) Owned it, never heard anything about him selling it for a Diablo.

He was a buy out for the MAN! so he let them paint it for the movie, hey you gotta go for the cash some time in your life. lol

It was slow because it had no traction RWD only

SkylineUSA · 12-01-2003, 11:43 AM

Let me go into this a little more.

GTRs are not set up for the 1/4 mile. The fact that they have a very advanced drive train that allows them to launch very well helps a ot with 1/4 mile times, but that is not what they are built for.

You disconnect the front trans-axle and you have lost that all important 60ft time. Say your busting out a 1.8 with the AWD, then you disconnect to RWD only. Now, your 60ft times are 2.2. What do you think that will do to your elapsed time for the 1/4? Do you think it will only shave off that .4 from the slower start? Of course not, your going to drop a lot futher than that, probably close to .8-.9 sec.

do you really think that all 6 of the cars that were used in the movie were the blackbird?
do you really think that the stunt car used for some of the driving was the black bird?
the main car that the skyline was based on was craig's car, which was the blackbird. which was sold for a diablo. that info is in Nopi Street Magazine.

the main point here is that the cars didn't use supra motors to anyone's knowledge (that we can find), and that they were beat to shit and ran worse than a stock skyline. surprised? why?

they are worn out, have extra weight, and have burnt clutches, etc. why are you surprised that they ran slower?

come now kids.

why is this so difficult to believe?

NISMO LMR · 12-01-2003, 05:52 PM

My god... Haha, my point exactly. What has previously crossed my mind is that BlackBird may have been left 4WD and left at the 520hp (correct hp? I dont feel like researching it) and used for all the speed shots, such as it tearing around the corners before being wrecked. Now for the actual wrecks, jumps, risky shots etc. I am guessing that the RWD Skylines were used. Make sense everyone? Just a fly though. peace

flylwsi · 12-01-2003, 07:43 PM

of course it makes sense...
i doubt that the blackbird was used in any of the action shots, prolly more for closeups and what not.
but the skyline had such a minimal role anyways...

in any case, cars like that are treated with tons of respect, and used sparingly so they don't get messed up.

NISMO LMR · 12-01-2003, 08:08 PM

Exactly. Oh and by the way guys. I asked Victor of RB Motoring, he says that Blackbird dyno'd out at 444bhp... He says it would have about 500-520 at the crank. Just thought I would let y'all know.

Guyanson_Mendiola · 12-01-2003, 11:25 PM

isn't that those Nitrous blow off valves?

SkylineUSA · 12-01-2003, 11:43 PM

Yes, it was a N2O purge valve.

SkylineUSA · 12-01-2003, 11:45 PM

Yes, it was a N2O purge valve.

Here is a question, if you to put a lighter up to it when it was blowing out, what would happen?

a) Nothing
b) Blow out the flame
c) Make a big flame
d) Blow up the car

raysoh8 · 12-02-2003, 03:56 AM

a, and if you mean the lighters flame, b. i dont think nitrous is flammable.

if the blackbird had 444bhp, how come the painted one ran slower? i didnt think the chrismas tree decorations were that heavy.. but yes i think rwd was a real speed problem.

what color was the car? black or blue?

fly- well they had to leave one car alone for the closeups and for shows.. so they didnt make the blackbird soar like an eagle

NISMO LMR · 12-02-2003, 06:44 AM

Well Blackbird... HENCE, the car was black. How do you know it ran slower? I think it moved pretty quitely in the shots that I saw it in (it was obvious which shots it was used in)... But the used Maya in so many shots (for animation) it was really kinda tough to tell which were done on computer, and which were really shot. If you really want I will link the fastautos link, post what Victor at RB Motoring told me, and post random sites on the Blackbird, so we can clear this all up, and stop talking about this movie. peace

SkylineUSA · 12-02-2003, 09:06 AM

Your the only one in disagreement. We are all readding from the same sheet of music

The car posted pretty slow 1/4 times, as documented in SCC. The car did not have a Toyota engine. The front drive shaft was disconnected.

What is the debate about?
