"Sorry Ricey, we can't beat that four-wheel-drive 600bhp monster with our pissy V8s, so please rack off."

so true

funny how they said it to a 4 cylinder ford as well. and it should be noted that the only v8's that the gtr was racing were the commodores. the fords they were racing (and sometimes being beaten by were the sierra, of which peter brock raced while he was fueding with holden)

Because its a bullshit comment. Given that there was no longer a group A formula worldwide, cars were no longer being homologated etc, so theres reason a) for the axing, reason b) being falling attendances, falling TV ratings and just generally stupefyingly dull and boring racing, with unbelievably high entry/prep costs. Have a look at the FACTS people. Its not just Australia, circa 1991-92 we see the appearance of control formula DTM, BTCC, evolution of JSS/JGTC....Because FIA had ditched Group A, it no longer existed.

Anyone who still trots out that ridiculous OMG THEY BANNINATED TEH GT-R BECUZ TEH GTR CAN NEVAH LOOSE bulldust in this day and age deserves a swift kick to the nutsack. That includes Top Gear in this case, because the statement they made was utter balls.

Edited by floody

we all know top gear is simply an entertaining show for the masses... they get ratings from bagging out the yanks, japs and frogs... hell i drive a skyline and i still enjoy watching it :P

... you can't be serious.

Although Top gear is great for Entertainment and the fastest, most expensive cars around, I agree with HotPlates. Tiff and Fifth Gear is a more toned down and serious show that can help an everyday person buy a car rather than hear Jeremy Clarkson bitch about road taxes and drive a TVR around a track yelling 'POOWWAAAA!!!' :P

This list is obviously not The 100 fastest cars in the world, in order from 100 to 1 but............ actually, I have no idea what it is :domokun:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
