With how iconic the Datsun 240Z is on this planet of automotive lovers, it may nearly be thought of an inevitability {that a} model of it might finally present up within the “Fast & Furious” franchise. Indeed, a variation of the car reveals up in 2023’s “Fast X,” pushed by Daniela Melchior’s character of Isabel Neves.
Not solely does the automobile have a definite shiny yellow coloring paying homage to a number of the best Datsun Nissan/Z special editions, but it surely’s additionally powered by an RB26 engine with a turbo characteristic on the hood — at the least, film magic makes it appear that means. Truthfully, there is a Chevy small block V8 below the hood, and the seen turbo is simply an aesthetic addition with no useful qualities. Unfortunately, the Datsun finally ends up totaled by the top of the movie, as Jason Momoa’s villainous Dante Reyes causes Isabel to crash throughout a race.
While Isabel’s Datsun in “Fast X” in the end meets the harmful destiny of most vehicles within the “Fast & Furious” franchise, there’s really a means for followers to check out driving the car themselves in online game type.

Who amongst us wasn’t wild sooner or later of their lives? I imply, I could still be considered wild by buddies my age and I’m practically 40. But it is all the time attention-grabbing to listen to of different folks’s wild tales, chief amongst them celebrities of our childhood.
Recently, Dawson’s Creek stars James Van Der Beek and Kerr Smith sat down with People’s Breanne Heldman at 90s Con to speak in regards to the filming of the well-known present, however the topic turned to how Van Der Beek, Smith, and the remainder of the crew used to boost hell on jetskis after filming was over.
Smith advised People, “A couple of like a couple of the guys on the crew had boats and you know we had the guest stars come in and the writers come in every episode and we would take them out on the water on the weekends. We’d stop and eat crab in the morning yet. And we’d fill up the boats with whatever we needed. We would barbecue out on the island. We all had jetskis.” And on these jetskis, Smith added, “I’m surprised I didn’t actually kill myself!”
Van Der Beek then added that the world they filmed “used to get hurricanes every. What I’d do is I would book the first flight out the next morning and I would get on my jetski and would ride the hurricane waves. When you rode the back of the toward shore, the way the wave was going, it was an optical illusion because you couldn’t see the shoreline but you were convinced you were going up and up and up and up. By the time the wave broke. I was convinced I was, like, 200 feet in the air.”
Smith additionally advised People that “I remember one time, I hit a sandbar and I flew 100 feet over the handlebars and made some waves.”
Clearly, the 2 have been fairly competent riders, although, as none of what they’re describing would enable for many novices to trip. But it is also humorous to listen to Dawson and Jack speaking about their stunt-filled after-hours exploits relatively than some equally melodramatic teen angst they have been portraying on the time on Dawson’s Creek.
Who knew they ripped so exhausting? Now we have to see some dope photographs of the pair ripping jetskis from again within the day. Come on, boys, give the folks what they need.
A bike’s clutch might be thought of an unsung hero. It’s a lot greater than a way to have interaction and disengage the transmission, because it performs extra vital roles, significantly in relation to grace and finesse.
It’s additionally a useful gizmo when doing hooligan strikes like wheelies and burnouts…
With the electric age properly and really upon us, it will seem that the clutch’s job is being phased out. A variety of the brand new electrical bikes have a one-to-one drivetrain, with the electrical motor linked on to the rear wheel both through chain or belt, and there’s no want for a transmission, and therefore, a clutch. As a consequence, nevertheless, motorcyclists who need the utmost finesse—which might solely be supplied by the precision slippage of a clutch—are left wanting.
And whereas electrification is a side of life we will’t deny, it’s good to see that some producers have our backs. Zero, for instance, acknowledges the extra finesse and management a clutch offers, because it not too long ago filed a patent on a “simulated clutch” system for its electrical bikes.
The Zero FXE is an electrical motorbike I’m significantly enthusiastic about
Different in precept from tech like Honda’s E-Clutch, Zero’s innovation exists solely to offer one other layer of management separate from the bike’s throttle and brakes. In reality, in Zero’s patent, it doesn’t even make use of the phrase “clutch,” as a substitute calling it a “Vehicle Control System.”
Operationally talking, Zero’s Vehicle Control System sees the addition of a significant part to the bike’s left handlebar: a lever that appears similar to a clutch lever discovered on an ICE bike. The solely distinction right here is that pulling the lever doesn’t launch a bunch of plates throughout the motor permitting it to rev up with out load, however as a substitute, connects to the motor’s digital controller thereby regulating torque output.
Zero’s Vehicle Control System appears to be like similar to a daily clutch
The patent explains: “By reducing the torque output of the engine, the control lever on the left-hand side mimics the operation and feel, for example slippage, of a clutch of a multi-speed transmission present in motorcycles and other vehicles that are powered by internal combustion engines.”
The graph exhibits how the Vehicle Control System impacts the motor’s energy output
Of course, on paper, that is all thrilling stuff. But we’ll have to attend and see if Zero’s simulated clutch characteristic truly looks like a clutch. It’d be cool should you may hear the electrical motor zipping up as you pull within the lever, akin to that of an ICE bike or a few of the new EV trials motorcycles. Nonetheless, it’ll absolutely make enjoyable stuff like wheelies and burnouts a lot simpler, extra controllable, and to not point out, a lot safer.
It’s good to see producers like Zero investing time and sources to develop expertise that focuses on the subtler nuances of motorcycling. And tech like Zero’s simulated clutch goals to convey again a few of that really feel that’s been misplaced in translation.

And whereas merely including a clutch-like gadget to an electrical motorbike—which on paper, doesn’t actually need it—certainly not replaces the allure and distinctive character of an inner combustion engine, it’s good to know that producers are nonetheless pondering of us fanatics when growing new tech.
I not too long ago joined a moto gymkhana competitors (keep tuned for my full story on that), and have been casually into the game for fairly a couple of years now. The clutch performs a significant function right here, as maneuvering tight impediment programs and successfully placing energy to the bottom contain a better degree of mastery in relation to balancing the clutch, throttle enter, and rear brake actuation.
Quite frankly, I can’t think about competing on an automated motorbike, not to mention an electrical bike. But perhaps this may assist?
