To be honest I was expecting more.. I think having read a review of Friday night's show I realised pretty quickly that they just do the same show every night and use the same jokes, there's not much ad-libbing. Some of the earlier synchronised driving shows with the cheap cars was impressive but when they brought out the expensive ones (ferraris) you could tell they had been told to keep a couple of metres apart to be sure they didn't crash :)

It was a good show I think I'm just difficult to please :D

I was at thursday nights show, I enjoyed it and was entertained the whole time, the only thing I was hoping for was a short film like in the regular tv shows or maybe even an interview with someone.

What did other people think of having Steve Pizza-Oven there instead of May? I thought it highlghted how far behind our Aussie TG hosts are against the UK guys :D

I thought it was boring, but maybe my standards are too high.

The "drifting" wasn't even drifting. It was just random skids. It was the kind of thing you see VL drivers do on Today Tonight's stock footage of hoons.

I have to agree with your comments and alu-siv_stagea's comments. It was well designed but lacking something. The addition of the australian host was useless, they should just have had the Stig play the third person. During the start one of the audience called out "fast forward the adds" which got great applause.

When he was doing the cool wall he "randomly" picked a person who ownded a porsche to talk about the porsche, he aso picked out some dumb ass "possible hearing impediment" that could not speak about anything but his dream of a commodore R8. Anyone have something similar?

Did we all get first place in the driving game???

No GTR or Nissan advertising at all.

paying for the f**king parking after coming out of the show was f**king gay!

4 ticket machines?

for a f**king stadium that holds what 50 billion people

I WAS LINING UP FOR 35 MINUTES TO PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF PARKING THERE

COCK HEADS!

show was good though

You shouldve prepaid your ticket like many ppl did.

The soccer and bike stunt inside that ball was my highlight.

Driving sim and that stupid ninja act was terrible.

The Oz host, whatever his name is, was as useless as my grandmas tits. Even Clarkson mentioned to him on several occasions, "SPEAK UP!".

Enjoyed the car soccer game; oh yes the Alfa precision driving - but hey, for $120 there should have been a lot more.

Clarkson had to carry the show imho.

Still prefer Roy & HG for Aussie hosts imho.

Not a bad idea Terry, they've got the charisma to lift the shows standard alot closer to the UK variant. Not sure if they have the driving skill though.

Lol hopefully the producers of Aussie TG saw Clarkson having to do that, and will realise they need to do something about our hosts...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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?

      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

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
