ugh still average...

my wife who happily watches UK TG was like WTF is this crap... I said Aus TG and she watched 5 minutes then went and got her book to read

the best thing about UK TG is even non car people can watch it and enjoy it... even my mum watches it FFS... Aus TG is boring in comparison... I mean nobody wants to hear an interview with Mark Skaife... he has the personality of cardboard (great driver though)

Was still average. Worth seeing skaife's face though, danm that was funny what an arrogant kent, so serious behind the wheel, didnt look like he was doing that well without his big $$$$ race team.

I will try one more episode, if still crap then wont watch no more.

And agree to an above statement, TG UK can be watched by non car people, both my parents and grandma enjoy it!!

i really really didnt like it still. can they just have one guy to promote the next segment other than all 3, it reminds me of an awards show where each one says a little bit then the next guy says something then the next guy, its stupid.

also that was the worst interview ever with skaife each question was so similar to the last it was pointless.

i think they should just talk about the cars and stop with the incredibly lame jokes and stop reading what they are saying its way to obvious, they really need to relax more and say whats on there mind, but that still wont change much they need 3 new hosts and have a competition where we choose the hosts. blood, sweat and gears is better than this so is fith gear.

everyone should get foxtel the discovery channel has way better car shows on, i love them. :P

Better improvement then the 1st season! Glad they got rid of the other host and brought James Morrison in :P

I enjoyed the first episode of the new season, its slowly becoming more of an aussie feel rather then the UK feel!

I know there is only 8 episodes this season, so i guess we will see how the other 7 go before i make a final judgement on it!

Episode 3 should be go, i was at the filming and enjoyed it :D

that james morrison has less charisma than charlie cox! warren is crappy with interviews and did an equally bad job at commentating the star lap. that reversing challenge would have managed to be cool and funny if the UK guys did it, but the aussie guys said almost nothing of any value the whole time and wrecked it.

none of them have any personality!!

Its still really really bad lol i went as far as sending an email to SBS telling them to just give up and leave it alone. How many road tests do holden and ford need?? lol will be interesting to read there reply lol :(

Thank god for Tivo, i just record it and fast forward whenever

i see Warren with his sketch pad.

And they should've blasted Walkinshaw for putting those stupid rims on that

nugget, not praise them for swapping the wheels to get a better lap.

Utterly painful, a massive waste of money.

Rapport shouldn't be assumed with the characters. It needs to be earned. It's painful to watch. For example, last night when they asked the bloke with the massive nose as a 007 fan which car he would have, the Maserati or the Aston. They assume you think he is somebody. "There you are folks, you heard it here first" said afterwards. I stopped watching at that point.

I totally agree. I watched about half the episode aswell, I still only know one presenters name (Morisson) simply because of his musical exploits (I will admit that guy drew a mean picture though!). Compare that to when Top Gear UK first brought in James May, they eased him into it and intriouced him to the audience to create a rapport. I still remember one of his first segments (if not his first) where he did a review on his own Bentley and the audience was able to see what he was all about.

Top Gear Australia seems to not know exactly what it wants to do IMO.

For me watching I was thinking "WTF, they may as well ask any idiot in the street than this bloke, why should I care about his opinion" only to have them exclaim "There you go folks, you heard it here first" as if it was a revelation!

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
