The show was pretty good. Was a bit better than the one last year. I think may was a better choice to partner clarkson this year. And the third guy was Greg Murphy this time...not the other kiwi guy from oz top gear. We did the paddock pass backstage thing which was pretty kool. Get to go look at the cars up close and go on the burnout pad etc. Would recommend it if you go.

Saterday night 8pm show was awesome :D loved it to bits ... had some good humor and lots of cool stuff ... especially loved the heat changing paint that the Focus stunt team cars were painted in ...

They were dark grey then went into this big heat booth thing and came out white .... ( AWESOME )

Also loved the 1.3 million dollar rolls royce :D

Also took some pics of the GTR in all of its glory ... love that car

I also took part in the Harley davidson Dyno drags and on the dyno I ran an 11.18 second 1/4 mile :) not bad for my first go :( stuffed the start and could have been quicker again with practice those bikes were heaps cool ... a little bit different to the 09 Suzuki GSXR 750 that I ride ...

The show was good. A pity they only used half the arena so they had to try and fit alot of car stunts in a tiny space. Imagine what they could have done with the whole arena? But then where would they park the 30 cars they brought with them I guess. I arrived early so I got to have a good look at all the exhibits. Didnt see you among the 10 thousand attendees Gem, maybe next time lol.

I agree the show could be so much better if they had more room, but yeh it would be hard to fit it all in including the Tractor they had as well.

I thought it was pretty good, the missus got me front row seats in Row II, in the middle, the flames were really hot!

That Murphy dude killed it though, he wasn't funny, he wasn't witty.. The show would have been much better if it was just James May and Jeremy Clarkson IMO

And Hammond.

Yeh +1 for voting that the 3 of them should come out would be way better.

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
