I would have thought you of all people would know the story.

Top Gear has been around for a very long time. Since 1977. I still have episodes from the 1980's kicking around. Tiff split away from Jeremy to start 5th gear on channel 5 in 2002.

Anyways Top Gear is funnier than 5th Gear while 5th Gear has better drivers. I just watch both but Top Gear usually keeps me entertained more.

agreed! and thanks for the background. I knew Tiff had been doing it for year, I just assumed it was the other way 'round :(

clarkson has his good points, but Tiff is hard to beat. His enthusiasm for everything is just infectious

I really don't get how you think she is hot, she is the most average looking girl that i wouldn't look twice at.

I watch both fifth gear and top gear, i find top gear more entertaining as they do some stupid funny shit lol, fifth gear is just good for the reviews.

Do you reckon Clarkson could dumb the content down some more? I mean, I understand what he is on about when he says the motor has more torques, but there is no way in hell I could ever get across the whole concept of a Newton metre. :D

Fingers crossed that Tiff drives the RS6...

Im much more of a fan of Top Gear than 5th Gear... So i'll more be watching this episode to see the review on the RS6... I'll still watch the GTR review though.

would have been awesome if Tiff had ago in it. When he was on Top Gear the show was so much better his reviews are the best, remember that mclaren f1 review he did? Actually described the sensation of driving one so well and how i would imagine it to be (having not driven one / never going to)

well, fifth gear was the replacement for Top gear, it originated on BBC, but after shit ratings top gear was canceled. so FIVE decided they would start it up again with most of the original presenters, they wanted to use the Top Gear name but BBC refused, so they went with fifth gear. BBC wanted to get in on the action so they started Top Gear up again with new hosts (except for Jeremy) and it came to what it is today. in reality, Jeremy carries the show, it would be nowhere near as popular as it would without him.

Fifth Gear still remains a proper car review show, Top Gear is becoming a entertainment show based around cars, sure its funny but its about as informative as a WOW player teaching sex ed.

Shit I dont know why people bag Fifth gear

its a good show, sure it aint no top gear but it certainly is the second best car show on TV

anyone ever watched Vroom Vroom on the How To Channel? Tuesday nights - now there is a shit car show

not to mention all the other Brit, American and Australian car shows that aren't 1/4 as good as top gear or even fifth gear

My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
