Tiff is a much better driver but he also comes across as a bit of a cock. Clarkson used to be rubbish but he's been practicing his slidey slidey and he's not that bad now. the TG guys are all much better fun Tiff has the entertainment value of a German once you get past his driving skills and that other broad Vicki is just annoying.

TG for sure. 5th gear bores me to tears oh here's a fast car, Tiff you go drive it sideways. Great.

TG

- better visuals, better commentory, better entertainment

- more biased, sometimes ridiculously stupid

FG

- better drivers, better comparisons

- less biased, boring commentory

Tiff and Jeremy used to be on the same show from waaaay back even before black stig made an appearance. FG is alright and was first to the R35 GTR I think. They fail whenever someone tries to do a TG impersonation. I like it when the 2 groups come together to battle. Anyone remember Vicky driving the fully decked out R32 GTR while Jeremy drove the TVR? One of my favourite moments.

That said, the best motoring shows IMO are BEST MOTORING and HOT VERSION. I just love the way the Japanese do it.

So far as I can see the 'chemistry' on Top Gear amounts mostly to Clarkson treating everybody else (including the audience) like sh*t.

It's fun for about 15 minutes and then his whole mid-life crisis thing gets very tiring.

5th Gear is definitely dull, but it is informative. The assessments aren't plain stupid, like Clarkson's. (English is good just because it's English - even when it's really German or American. Nissans are just Datsuns - and when did the Japanese know anything about sports cars? etc etc etc etc etc.)

And yes, 5th Gear has the fab Vicky. Never heard anybody sound more like they're having an orgasm just driving a car...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
