having not watched any prior eps last nite didnt get me off on the right foot. however all was redeemed when i saw the stig will be fanging the r35 next week so im eagerly awaiting that ep.

they said unlimited r35 does that mean the mines one??? it looked white so im assuming here...

on a side note i spotted my first r35 on sunday at heatherbrae just north of newi, silver and slick she took my eyes for an extended glance for sure!!!!!!!!!!

i assume it would just be a normal oz spec GTR, so I would expect it to be slightly faster than the one they had, only because of the limiter, but stories I hear are the Jap spec cars carry a little more power (like the original one they took around) so I think the difference won't be amazing.

maybe they're not allowed to review cars anymore after last year's damage :)

Yep. I second that. I cant believe I even sent in an application to be a presenter. I think I would have shot everyone too & then myself for being involved..... bloody hopeless. I have only watch 2 episodes & even then they were taped so I could fast forward thru 90%.

Didnt someone already post the outcome (of the Top Gear Oz unrestricted GTR test)? Suffice to say VERY close to GT2 time.

my problem with the show is they have two people on there with no people skills, and have no idea how to make the show entertaining.

they shoudve got someone like grant denyer and two other funny car nuts to do the show.

Agreed, Grant Denyer would have been great. current line up is sh!te

Grant Denyer !???!! We don't want to turn it into Top Gear's got talent or Dancing with the "STIG".... Or do we ? Hmmm

Try thinking of a decent driver that can actually present a show. The current guys are just hopeless. Maybe one of the drift guys like Leighton Fine or Luke Fink to back him up. They need a genuine personality not some half baked has beens or never was's

+ to all above

if you want to try to force some improvement you better email the advertisers who sponsor the show telling them you won't buy their products because they support it, send in petitions to SBS and other media outlets etc etc

however I think it here to stay because its not a real car show its lowest common denominator mass entertainment - look at the audience - lol and rofl

so if all else fails - use the ff button on your vcr by-pass all the advts and crap and justwatch the least mediocre part, the car test segment if its a car worth checking out - so you only have to endure 3-4 minutes in lieu of 60

I agree 100percent with that they need some decent drivers that can actually host a show too.

Maybe it's just me....but the new 1.07 Lap time would not have been matched by the 500hp rear wheel drive GT2 in the same conditions the GTR

had on tonight's show......looked very dusty/dirty track....... :P

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
