Project Movie Car V2.0

Casey@AEperformance

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?

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.

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"?

I think he is pretty psyched about it. We have the white Z which we built as an enthusiast class car, so it was pretty mild. So he wants to step it up on this build. We have already gone over the plans so next is documenting the current parts then building it.

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.

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.

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

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

AFAIK there was not a R34 in the first one (it was in the second one).

Thanks Guys,

Yeah, we were psyched. There was definitely a lot of ae in the movie.

If anyone liked the shirts, we have them up on our new shopping cart:
