Wow!

She sung about getting up in the morning, going to school and waiting for the weekend...

Then sung which day comes before and after each other...

Lyrical content = FAIL!

Was a good :laugh: though.

dont know how to break it to you man, but top gear is a TELEVISION SHOW!

it was designed to be commercial, an has been since episode 1. they have NEVER had any worthwhile technical info, and they never will as that wouldn't rate.

5th gear is even suckier. people who say it's the show for enthusiasts need their head examined.... it's just a second rate topgear, with an even more overtly gay presenter (although he is a much better driver)

and dont even start me on the other 2 homo's and the woman....

5th gear segments that dont involve tiff ALWAYS result in me changing the channel...

did you go see topgear live?

Their focus has changed from delivering car information to entertaining the general public with no knowledge of cars. When a woman or 10yr old kid say they enjoy watching Topgear you know that Topgear has lost the game. This was never the case a couple years ago. Proof of this is when ch9 purchased it because they saw the growing popularity amongst everyone, else it would have stayed on SBS as it has for many years.

Just watch any episodes from a couple years back, theres a reason why ch9 doesnt play any of the older episodes.

Unfortunately with all fads they will soon drop off. Gordon Ramsay, Bear Grylls and now Topgear. Look forward to 50% off Topgear merchandise at Target

I'd imagine their budget is ridiculously high, and without ratings they don't have shit. Technical info about cars that the audience can actually afford is boring as bat shit, which is exactly why it's not part of their show. Their tests and challenges are ridiculous for a reason, people enjoy watching that shit, which gives them the ratings and budget they need to keep going.

Just looked at 300rwkw R33 gtst (turbo is Blitz K5-660) goes pretty hard, in coming days I'll contact the mob who built it as the motor is forged (seen the receipts).

Noticed couple of things, there's a sensor on inlet pipe (next to BOV which is blocked) and pink label afm (it's R33 S2 and running on Power FC), hence my curiousity.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
