Hi Guys,

Yes I made it onto TV, and no it is not some porn show.

Me and my car will be on DriveTimeTV on this coming Tueday night, it's on Channel 10, late after Sports Tonight.

Luckily this time I didn't have to say anything, in fact they actually gaffa taped my mouth so I couldn't speak, it's true.

Tollie the host, takes my car and gives it a damn good thrashing, hand-brake turns and 360's, my brakes were smoking after he had finished, plus he managed to collect a few witches-hats while drifting it.

This was supposedly a drive comparison between my car and a 4-door Skyline they did a while back. They also had a Stegea wagon and a JZX90(chaser) which they will be roadtesting soon.

See'ya:burnout:

Geez your generous!! I have the look but dont touch policy on my car. Used to really annoy my ex after being together for 2yrs he wasnt allowed to drive my car and all his mates used to give him crap about it - then again would you let someone that has lost their license 9 times drive your car?

Will have to take a look!!!

too right!! I'd never let some other guy take my car out and give it a working! The only person who touches my car are my bro and parents (bro coz I trust he won't, and parents coz they drive as slow as a wet week anyway)

anyone else don't have a chance (annoying when your mates KEEP asking for a drive!!

But anyway, it wasn't my car, so will tune in and check it out

did they give you anything for the privelage of thrashing your car Paul? :P

The filming was done at the end of the drag strip at the Motorplex.

Tollie has been a rally driver for years, and knows how to drive a car better than most, including myself, so I wasn't too worried. My car is built to withstand a fair bit of punishmnet, so if something breaks I just fix it with something stronger.

so were you on ages ago? I seem to remember a gun metal line with silver and red rims ages ago, but at that stage only had a POD and exhaust or something? And that was a show saying they were gonna road test a few imports and apart from a 4 door skyline, they didnt do any.

Oh, and if you count the NA soarer they riced up, that makes 2.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
