    that is also what I LITTLE understand about it. I am not sure but I read that is why people use racing chip for their Vtec to make it aggresive from the start. meaning a factory tuned Vtec is intentionaly designed for Economy...

    probably that's why there is the CVT. so you can tune it for Sports or Economy for yourself right?

    not an Engine Expert, but in Movies, Games and real Test videos, mas na-uuna po yung Nissan GTR Skyline. I have no Idea what kind of engine design ba siya... basta 2.7L :lol:

    Tokyo Drift? Ito ba yong movie? Haven't seen it yet. But I had a video CD of a famous Japanese race car driver filmed live teaching audiences on how to do drifting. It was actually a documentary/tutorial film and if I can still remember it right, he was using a Toyota (was that a Supra?) -am not so very sure now.

    Mazda RX-7 designed by Veilside Orange/Black 1994 Han[9]
    Nissan Fairlady 350Z Gold 2004 Morimoto [6]
    Nissan Fairlady 350Z Black/Gunmetal 2002 D.K.[8]
    Nissan Fairlady 350Z Gold/Black 2002 Morimoto [10]
    Nissan Fairlady 350Z Blue/Silver 2003 Tea Hair[11]

    The Veilside Fortune body-kitted RX-7 driven by Sung Kang's character was originally built by Veilside for the 2005 Auto Salon but was later bought by Universal and repainted (the original was dark red and not orange and black like in the film)[27].

    Notable drifting personalities Keiichi Tsuchiya, Rhys Millen, and Samuel Hubinette were consulted and employed by the movie to provide and execute the drifting and driving stunts in the film.[28] Tanner Faust, Rich Rutherford, Calvin Wan, and Alex Pfeiffer were also brought it when it was revealed that none of Universal's own stunt drivers could drift.[29]

    Kaya hwag maniwala lahat sa movie.

    they probably just lower the vtec activation point...?

    the GT-R uses a 2.6L twin-turbo straight-six. aka RB26DETT.
