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".

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
