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

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
