Project Movie Car V2.0
 

What's up everyone,

Got some pics of our new project Z getting dropped off earlier this week. We know the members here are already familiar with it, as it is in an upcoming movie (can't be specific / not hard to figure out), and we know most are not too happy with how the car turned out or how it is portrayed and what not. Anyways, we were not permitted to make the creative decisions when the car was built the first time around, so Paul thought it would be cool to give the car a redo and really build it up right.

So over the next couple of months we will be going through the car, documenting what was previously done, which isn't much, and then building it into something real Z enthusiasts can be proud of.

So stay tuned...

Can you elaborate on that?

And is Paul actually paying for this and is this going to be his own car? Or is it going to be sold at an auction or something?

If that's an interfooler, then the hunch is obvious. ;)

Meh, it's basically a movie prop, I don't think it is a big deal that it didn't really have FI. I'm just wondering about the "how it was portrayed" line.

Does Paul still have the R34 from the first FF?

Yeah, just meant lack of screen time, lack of mods, etc.

Paul owns it, we are building it. Not sure about his plans for it beyond that, but I doubt he'd sell it at an auction.

That is correct, not actually FI, yet...

That's correct, small part so no need.

One thing they did have to change on the car for functionality in the movie though, which was pretty cool, was an LSD. This car is a base model, open diff, so to keep the car sideways for the shot they wanted they had OS Giken send them a couple diffs.

I don't think so, but I don't really know. I didn't even know there was a 34 in the first one?

Just to be sure, yall talking about paul walker?

not sure on the R34 but last time i heard he had a black R35

does he still have the AE tuned 997 & M3?

oh and this is pretty cool if you guys havent seen it

Nice Vid MC :)

Ah okay, I hadn't heard the "lack of screen time" complaint before. That's a bummer, as I thought it would be his main car. Glad to know this before hand, I would of had my hopes up.

Looking forward to see what you guys do with it. Is he going to be stopping by to discuss mods and the cars progress at all? Or is he being "hands off"?

It seems like the movie's budget was pretty low. From the Import Tuner magazine article, they borrowed most of the high-end cars (aka couldn't do anything crazy to them). It also mentioned the GTR had a pretty short cameo.

They always borrow the cars. It's how every F&F movie has been done.
