Hey anyone watching this on foxtel....

i think it's on Nat Geo or Discovery channel. at the moment they are doing up chevy SS?? R32 gtr WOOOT and a jetta.

it was on last night at about 11pm and this is the second week ive been watching it.... good stuff to think about for r32 owners, whether you have gts gtst or gtr.

good luck

I watched the first episode of the Jetta series and found it quite lacking, it's more suited for the 50yo midlife crisis type owner than a 20ish petrolhead.

They did a "suspension upgrade" with no real mention of what exactly they did and then the fat dude got in the car and did half a lap with a "yep its way quicker" their was no mention of laptimes etc. Same with the power mods they have done, no initial dyno readouts etc its just a simple "yep it goes faster now".

hey yeah, im watching this, just started to watch the first episode.. when i seen the gtr, im like, im watching this.. interesting show, and good to learn off.. i found :D .. formula D drift comp is on one of those channels as well. but its the 05 session!! .damn it!!.. go alex in the s2000 ;)

ohh rys millin?, i think thats how u spell it..ohh the 05 session was awseome, see the viper?, i beta not say who took the hole thing..hehe, dont wanna wreck it.. yeah that GTO!!. see how its setupo inside?. damn!!.. ken guchi < dunno how to spell it.. he is killing it.. when are they going to show the 06 session at least?

I watched last nights, were they braced the chassis on the GTR to make is stiff and take out the crumple zones...

The SS is pretty cool car also, that little super charger looks sweet...

GTRs have crumple zones.. hehe..

so this show pretty much a lame version of top gear. ive been watching topgear 9 series ive seen the first 2 eps. and hammond aint a retard hehe. but jeremy is still fat and james is as slow as ever.. i am a topgear fan.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
