Hey anyone watching this on foxtel....

i think it's on Nat Geo or Discovery channel. at the moment they are doing up chevy SS?? R32 gtr WOOOT and a jetta.

it was on last night at about 11pm and this is the second week ive been watching it.... good stuff to think about for r32 owners, whether you have gts gtst or gtr.

good luck

I watched the first episode of the Jetta series and found it quite lacking, it's more suited for the 50yo midlife crisis type owner than a 20ish petrolhead.

They did a "suspension upgrade" with no real mention of what exactly they did and then the fat dude got in the car and did half a lap with a "yep its way quicker" their was no mention of laptimes etc. Same with the power mods they have done, no initial dyno readouts etc its just a simple "yep it goes faster now".

hey yeah, im watching this, just started to watch the first episode.. when i seen the gtr, im like, im watching this.. interesting show, and good to learn off.. i found :D .. formula D drift comp is on one of those channels as well. but its the 05 session!! .damn it!!.. go alex in the s2000 ;)

ohh rys millin?, i think thats how u spell it..ohh the 05 session was awseome, see the viper?, i beta not say who took the hole thing..hehe, dont wanna wreck it.. yeah that GTO!!. see how its setupo inside?. damn!!.. ken guchi < dunno how to spell it.. he is killing it.. when are they going to show the 06 session at least?

I watched last nights, were they braced the chassis on the GTR to make is stiff and take out the crumple zones...

The SS is pretty cool car also, that little super charger looks sweet...

GTRs have crumple zones.. hehe..

so this show pretty much a lame version of top gear. ive been watching topgear 9 series ive seen the first 2 eps. and hammond aint a retard hehe. but jeremy is still fat and james is as slow as ever.. i am a topgear fan.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
