jevansio Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I remember everyone making a big fuss when he pops the bonnet & it's a NA engine, but where are they technically wrong, all he says is 'its a 2JZ', not a '2JZ-GTE', or has this been covered many times before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Yes it has been covered, and they were technically correct by only saying 2JZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Isn't it that he's like "Holy shit! A 2JZ!" ? Like wtf else would you expect to find in a MkIV Supra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 I dunno, I just remember a big stink at the time about how little the people who made this film knew about Supra's, watching it now it seems like they knew more about it than most people give them credit for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Well, being surprised to find a 2JZ in a MkIV Supra doesn't show a great deal of knowledge about them, does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the fact that it contains a 2JZ, it's the stink that was kicked up at the time, mocking the film & the film makers about their lacking knowledge of the cars that they were dealing with. Yes we all know the a MKIV will contain soe sort of 2JZ, what I remember most is the comments along the lines of 'haaaaaa did they not know that's a NA engine not a turbo engine, the ****king muppets' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall any kicking of stinks but then I've never actually seen the film and didn't own a Supra at the time the movie came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exectly the thing I'm on about, you're taking the micky out the film, yet what if they did remove the NA engine & replace it with a TT lump, you seem to infer the film makers are idiots, yet we all know there are various people who have taken an NA car and replaced the engine with a TT engine. If in fitting an NA-TT conversion the only mistake they made was fitting a FMIC upsidedown, then they'll do a lot better than some of the ex-traders on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 They used Craig Lieberman as a "Picture Vehicle Technical Advisor" for both films but I guess he didn't have control over the cringeworthy bits http://www.megaboost.co.uk/misc/fun/TFTF/19.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
