at the end of the day, they're doing good for the import/ modifying community at large,

I honestly enjoy their youtube vids, although some of you may not like them, that's fair enough, but on a reasonable level, they've put time and effort into every project they've gone with and have done so with their own money and/or a little from others, for these guys, it's not profit but for the enjoyment of modifying cars

at the end of the day these guys are making an Internet based show. the reason it is so popular is because it is entertaining. the car mods themselves need to be taken with a grain of salt. i think they do a great job, and really enjoy watching them for the entertainment factor.

i'm keen to what they do with Marty's 180 this season.

I still dont understand it though, Marty was driving an old legacy wagon(?) and he bought Moog a really nice late model Forester, better than his own car.

Then Moog buys him a 1500 broken 180.

I'm still hoping for a final season eposide where they build the ultimate bogan commodore...

Would be pretty easy & cheap to do I reckon.

1) Buy cheap VN commodore

2) Chop the springs

3) Buy a set of 20"chromes from bob jay for the back + retain a set of factory steel wheels for the front

4) Buy some clear tail lights off + Unit/Skin etc etc sticker off ebay

5) Drill some holes into the exhuast for that epic V6 noise

6) Add the chev bage at the back (leave holden badge on front) for the final touch...

Any other steps I missed?

Yep you've forgot a few things,

1) Loosekid and southern cross stickers

2) sick subwoofers from autobarn

3) last of all, the f*ckwit driving it has to be wearing a snapback

But i do commend you on building the almost perfect bogandore

I met Marty and Moog in person when I went and helped them do their 2 tinting episodes at MCM HQ. Top blokes. All the time in the world for fellow enthusiasts, and not shy to lending a hand or a good spanner swinging sesh.

Cheers,

Shaz

marty chose it. moog had to pay for it. moog had to sell his s15 to buy the forester.

i dare say they purchased the 180 together. remember, its a DIY/entertainment show, not a doco. im sure they say plenty of things on screen to fit the plot, that didnt perhaps happen as they are making out..

Exactly, but it is very entertaining!!

Top Gear is the same however I would dare say it is the most scripted show on television to the point it is becoming annoying.

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
