Well he better stick to the speed limit since he's in a bit of trouble for admitting he was driving 300km/h on public roads

zif clarkson pushed 300kph on a public road... he would be dead. find me a public road straight enough for long enough for this to be physically possible.

autobahns arent straight enough for that long a punch surely..?

i have seen vids of R34 GTR'S on the autobahn holding 320kmh for like 30-40 seconds so its possable but not likely clarkson can do it.

Be sure to check Final Gear for the Top Gear Season 11 Episode 4 Torrent on Monday morning.

On Sunday night, there is a race between a Nissan GT-R and a bullet train right the way across Japan.

It is extremely exciting. I think the best film we've ever made.

Shit, as they say, is on.

I can't speak for anywhere else but there are plenty of places in the nt you can go as fast as you want as long as you want. I used to do the 100klm commute from town to the base in about 32 minutes, sitting on the speed limiter 99% of the way

Theres plenty of places here in Japan to do 300kph..think about the 300 club for a start.Do a bit of digging around on youtube and you`ll see a few of the top car tuners having a crack. I`m not saying its safe or condoning it but it gets done and quite a bit.

Also cops here have skylines and wrx`s.

season 11 is already out, they have shown the first 3 episodes already in the UK

the challenges aren't really anything good this time

and yea the african episode was the best, hammond actually imported his car back to the UK to keep it lol

just watched the torrent. a little dissappointing. although found all the problems they had funny.

Both sides also had some help which I thought was a little unfair. eg jeremy didnt have to worry about paying with money on the tollways*he used the cars electronic ic card) , where as the others didnt get help with their transfers

Ive never seen those Tokyo roads that quiet in the 5 years ive been living here.

I also laughed when jeremy put the headband on his had because it was upside to start with... then in the next scene it had magically changed.

I also like seeing some of the very stations/ escalators I use each and everyday.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
