I didn't like it. In fact, I disliked it so much I changed the channel. The skinny small guy has an annoying voice and to me its just a big immitation.

Edit: Unlike the british version, these guys TRY to be funny, and it just wasn't working. The part when they're sitting down talking about the stretch hummer with dubs. "i'll pop a cap in yo ass".

One word "Cringeworthy"

I still reserve judgement until i have seen at least 1/2 a season..... The first three seasons of Top gear were crap IMHO

It seemed to be a bit too much of a rip off, its also a shame that next week will be bogan v bogaaan (Holden Vs Ford)...

Still give it a chance i say......................

Yeah it's like the Brit version, But really it is the same show but Australian... i thought it was alright, but like mentioned they need time to find their own way... at the moment the producers would have handed them a rough script and said read this...

not watching it again. total shit.

and didnt anyone notice how it wasnt a stock gtr. it was the haltech tuned gtr......hmmm fair or unfair advantage much

Yup. I'm not going to watch it again for another 2 years, if it doesn't flop by then they might find their niche and make it work. Otherwise I've got better things to do! (like watch the real Top Gear)

That blew

GT-R was the only highlight of the episode. The hosts are boring, and lame, and what was with opening the first show with a soft-roader comparo? Where's the sideways supercar action?

Oh look! a new Lamborghini... that we won't drive. That was crap Ray.

We already have a car show for old people... it's called The Car Show (creative name right there :nyaanyaa:) on CH9, and it sux just as bad.

Better come up with some good drives next week...

not watching it again. total shit.

yer i no ay

preaty unfair lol

beautiful skyline tho

but it will never be as good as the UK version

thats the first thing i thought of....all a bunch of puppets mimic-ing the original, even in the way they speak. Dicko look a like, choppa looka like but super punce, and that other skinny weasle, he looked so random. absolutely no aussie flair at all. thats what you get when you put out a nation wide call for real enthusiaists but opt for so called intelect. half a bogan would make the show a tad more entertaining.

I thought the main host lets call him [clarkson impersonator] was pretty ordinary. the other two call them [Hammond and May[ were not too bad. I really want to like this show so im going to give it a go over the next few weeks and see if the characters grow on me... fingers crossed!!!

and by the way is it just me or is that track the most boring track ever!?!?!?!

Hated it.

Hosts dont fit, especially not when they are trying to emulate the original show.

The guy who did the shark stuff just irritates me.

That track is the most baron and and pointless piece of tarmac in australia, is it an old go kart track!?

I sincerly doubt that it will go past the 8 episode contract. But then again, they voted bush in again so who knows these days

I would make a judgment on the track, but I HARDLY SAW IT

The footage of the cars doing their hot lap on the track was appauling. All you saw was the inside of the car + stig, then car on a straight, then car + stig again, then straight again. I couldnt really make out what the track looked like.

Also, there were a couple scenes of the Porsche where they blurred in and out on the bumper of the car, did anyone's eyes get all funny? who needs to blur in and out of a bumper 6 times straight! haha

Other than not bad, always improvements to come.

Agree with points about the Lambo + "cap in yo ass" (cringe worthy indeed)

I'm still going to watch it though haha i still have faith in it

I sincerly doubt that it will go past the 8 episode contract. But then again, they voted bush in again so who knows these days

and what do 50 million retarded Americans re-electing a fellow retard president out of sympathy have to do with Australian produced television? :D

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
