Default Wanna see like, 7 Skylines?

Go on 2nd st in downtown LA before the tunnel (2nd st. and beaudry). They're filming Fast and the Furious 4 I believe; there's about 7 blue R34 Skylines! Amongst other nice cars, too. Some are dropped, some are not, some are beat up and dirty, some look beautiful. It's AMAZING.

I just drove by and stopped and checked it out. Seems like they are not filming yet maybe tonight or something cause there is nobody there just the cars. And all the windows are down

PS thats right next door to QdotJ's office LOL he took pictures of his Z in that parking lot last month.


Took a picture when I was leaving also. (iPhone picture so it's not that great)

Haha, pretty cool. FF1 = straight line drag racing. FF2 = drag racing with a few turns. FF3 = drift racing. What else is left for FF4? Either road racing, Autocross, or rally racing


Edit: The plot seems kind of....ehhhh. Hopefully it will turn out okay

"As he is released from prison, Brian O'Conner (Walker) teams up with Dominic Toretto (Diesel) work with the feds to bring down a heroin importer by infiltrating his operation. "

"Brian help the feds stop a heroin importer known as Braga. With the help of an informant named James Park, Brian - and ultimately Dominic Toretto - wins a place on the criminal's team, where he - and his flashy Nissan - plan to catch the man red-handed.

Letty has been killed working for drug baron Antonio Braga. Brian, fresh from an undercover stint in prison, is out to catch the man responsible, and so is Dominic. Brian and Dominic go undercover as members of Braga's drug transportation team."


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1013752/


Cast (Credited cast)

Vin Diesel ... Dominic Toretto

Paul Walker ... Brian O'Conner

Michelle Rodriguez ... Letty

Jordana Brewster ... Mia Toretto

other cast:

Sung Kang ... Han



Han came back from the dead?? Or mayyybe the explosion didn't kill him

We gave them an intercooler for the shoot and they have one of the new coolers with the Turbonetics logo rather than the Spearco logo. If you look at the link Dub posted you can see the logo.

funny thing is it's a universal core so I wonder if they actually have it hooked up or just retro fitted to work. On the FF3 tokyo drift we gave them a turbo and intercooler for the Mustang.

Didn't look at it that detailed. I just hope they ain't using those as backup cars cause each intercooler was different.

Found a website with more pictures. It has one of Paul Walker in the R35 GTR

http://www.fastandfurious4.co.uk/

I found this on another site regarding Han.

"...also back is Michelle Rodriguez as Letty and Han (played by Sung Kang) from “Tokyo Drift”. Wait, didn’t Han died at the end of “Tokyo Drift”? Yes, he did, but it is believe that “FF4″ will be a prequel to FF3. Or at least, it’ll take place before the last movie. Unless, of course, they make this Han the other Han’s evil twin brother or something."

I believe some of those are dummy cars but this is just a guess.

Han hasnt returned, this movie takes place before tokyo drift aka ff3. My homie's supra is in the last scene of the movie :-D! thought i'd throw that in there..

He is racing against a 350z so heads up on that. I believe the guy in the Z is a member here on the forums.
