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

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
