I don't understand the controversy didn't the end of the article contain the verdict:

Verdict: Unfathomably good

If he is also saying it isn't a whole heap of fun versus a typical supercar then why

is that a surprise? which is more fun ..

a) flying a biplane

b) flying a cessna citation

which is "unfathomably good" ?

Has anyone watched the newest episode of Top Gear (season 11 episode 1)?

There's a very very brief clip of clarkson in a red R35 GT-R racing a bullet train, saying "bullet train? PAH!"

downloaded/watched that lastnite, trying to work out which episode its coming out on.

does it matter which episode? your going to DL them all anyway... or at least I know I am!

Loved the first episode of season 11... go TG!

Oh yeah, the GTR... does anyone take what Clarckson has to say seriously!? he entertains the shit out of me but I would never buy or not buy a car based on his review

He entertains me too, but if you peel away all the BS and jokes he's actually full of facts and insight, believe it or not.

This goes for his writing (esp. pre-2000), as well as TG.

unlike the gay boy on the new episode. haha

indeed. no GT-R. they all go to tokyo for the GT-R review from the looks of the preview... or some place with a fast train (maybe they painted the french TGV white :D)

they must go to japan to get their hands on one.. are they released in the UK as yet?

this also means that they wouldn't have put it around the TG test track which is a little dissappointing

also, given his review of the new evo, clarkson SHOULD like the GTR as he craps on about how easy the evo is to drive and this is the impression i get out of the GTR.. but he is rarely consistent with his reviews..

There are JDM GT-R's in the UK. Quite a few. At least one has been flogged around the TG test track. Not sure if the Stig has had a go around the TG track yet in one though. Hopefully a JDM GT-R will suffice for there purposes or we could be waitin til next season :D

ye that was shit. i have read on wikipedia that the new gtr, evo 10 and wrx will be reviewed. They clearly f**ked it up, as after the episode was aired, they changed the imformation by getting rid of the new gtr comment they had on that episode.

thanks for posting this. great read!

It clearly says to me that he was shocked with the car and without praising it like he loves it he just bagged nissan for creating something that he never expected could be done.

Yeah I love his writing, read a couple of his books and I agree he's actually quite intelligent... but much of what he does is purely for entertainment so I would be careful believing every opinion he has without doing your own research

Let's go inside Jeremy's head for a minute !!

I am extremely INTELLIGENT. I am hugely MANIC. I am very POPULAR. I am aware that I have a massive READER as well as VISUAL AUDIENCE.

No how can I write an article on the R35 GT-R that's different than anybody else - because I also have my WEAKNESSES (such as some technical savvy)??

So since I'm so much in demand as an intelligent, manic and popular PRESENTER in TG, I can at least stir up people's emotions with SUBJECTIVE comments and leave a few OBJECTIVE TECHNICAL Specifications to someone else!

This is why Post #28 is so 'spot on'.

Cheers,

Terry

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
