Hallo

Got my internets connected today - ADSL2+ is purely amazing when you live 600m from the exchange.

Top Gear nuts - which episodes featured skylines in them? Is there some sort of database where I could find this info?

Tristan = ripple strip?

Martin = ???

yeh grass side of a ripple strip

Proof that jap rims > cheapo chinese rims

not quite - if you'd hit the wrong side of a ripple strip, sideways at 100-120ish km/h your wheel wouldnt have survived either :nyaanyaa:

Yeah I'd also be keen to find that Top Gear info out...

I found this, downloading now so I'll report back.

Hallo

Oh hai

Got my internets connected today - ADSL2+ is purely amazing when you live 600m from the exchange.

NBN soon(ish), even better :nyaanyaa:

Top Gear nuts - which episodes featured skylines in them? Is there some sort of database where I could find this info?

One episode back in season 1, and a couple of episodes around when the R35 was released

Hit up wikipedia, pretty sure it has a list of what was in each episode

not quite - if you'd hit the wrong side of a ripple strip, sideways at 100-120ish km/h your wheel wouldnt have survived either :D

that 'pothole' I hit would have been as bad or worse than a ripple strip

So that torrent link I posted about the 1000hp R33 was pretty nice to watch hahahaha. Got my heart racing just that little bit :nyaanyaa:

Yeah I'd also be keen to find that Top Gear info out...

I've seen it before on youtube, there's another where he races the mclaren f1 in a stock gt-r. It would have been awesome if they did one with all the gt-r's.

I just wikipedia'd Top Gear and the GT-R was only featured in a few episodes, r34 in series 1 and then the 35 in series 11.

The wikipedia page for the original Top Gear doesn't list what cars are featured :nyaanyaa:

how is tafe?

I was struggling to stay awake today! Running on 2 hours sleep. Drank many coffees.

Sup mangs

My birthday this weekend...... you carnts gonna come out for a beer friday or saturday night?

My birthday before yours, broad minded person.

Hylian - RE top gear stuff.

You tube it bro. It'll save you a lot of time. There's bugger all. The new series of TG started in 2002 or something, so it was after the last of the real Skylines was done. As Martin said - a bit in season 1. But it's a crap review because the stupid fat bastard only rates them on their street car aspect, and really only reviews the 34 because the others are "too old".

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
