Missed it to. A friend SMS'd me AFTER the fact. Grrr.

I'd be very suprised if a 2nd series of TG Oz was commissioned. They're all try hard of the original, however I don't blame the hosts, but the franchise.

I'm standing by to get flamed here but...

Am I the only person on the planet that thinks TopGear is a bit too campy ??, I mean it's like 'queer eye for the straight guy' motoring show

Poofy little guy with lots of make up, and two queer old guys going on gay little adventures ???

Not that there is anything wrong with that if that's your kind of thing but, as a car show...

I better go put on my flameproof pink jumpsuit now

Camp, yes. Gay, no. They're English. That makes them fruits to begin with. Doesn't mean they're not highly entertaining.

I bought my TGLIVE tickets the morning they came out. Can't wait.

If you havent already, download season 11 ep 4 and 5... Jeremy vs the other 2... race from one side of japan to the other, GTR v Bullet train and other forms of transport and then Clarkson takes the GTR to Fuji speedway to review it properly...

Gotta love the cars it beats around the test track too.

I think the aussie show aint too bad. If you have ever watched the first season of the UK "New" Top gear it was crap too. They had Clarkson, Hammond and this fat guy named Jason Daw or something like that and he was terrible! The first season of the NEW format was struggling to get the numbers of people in the first couple of episodes and you could see it in the hangar. Once the second season came and they ditched the fat dude for captain slow it started to get better.

You have to remember they are now 12 seasons strong and have worked together for a few years now. The Aussies are only a season in and they have season 2 coming (already filmed most of it) so it can only get better. They need to ditch Warren the cartoonist though, he is sooo far from being a good car reviewer. Give them time they will get it together.

We are not the only ones to have taken the reigns of the show either. The US and Russia have also got 'local' versions of the show.

UK is still the best though and the new episodes were on tonight

Yeah but the Aussie guys have the wit and screen presence of a rotten carrot thats been in a dogs anal cavity for 3 weeks.

I think they should have gotten the dog to host it :)

a bluey, staffy and a labrador would have been funnier.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
