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".

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
