"Sorry Ricey, we can't beat that four-wheel-drive 600bhp monster with our pissy V8s, so please rack off."

so true

funny how they said it to a 4 cylinder ford as well. and it should be noted that the only v8's that the gtr was racing were the commodores. the fords they were racing (and sometimes being beaten by were the sierra, of which peter brock raced while he was fueding with holden)

Because its a bullshit comment. Given that there was no longer a group A formula worldwide, cars were no longer being homologated etc, so theres reason a) for the axing, reason b) being falling attendances, falling TV ratings and just generally stupefyingly dull and boring racing, with unbelievably high entry/prep costs. Have a look at the FACTS people. Its not just Australia, circa 1991-92 we see the appearance of control formula DTM, BTCC, evolution of JSS/JGTC....Because FIA had ditched Group A, it no longer existed.

Anyone who still trots out that ridiculous OMG THEY BANNINATED TEH GT-R BECUZ TEH GTR CAN NEVAH LOOSE bulldust in this day and age deserves a swift kick to the nutsack. That includes Top Gear in this case, because the statement they made was utter balls.

... you can't be serious.

Although Top gear is great for Entertainment and the fastest, most expensive cars around, I agree with HotPlates. Tiff and Fifth Gear is a more toned down and serious show that can help an everyday person buy a car rather than hear Jeremy Clarkson bitch about road taxes and drive a TVR around a track yelling 'POOWWAAAA!!!' :P

This list is obviously not The 100 fastest cars in the world, in order from 100 to 1 but............ actually, I have no idea what it is :domokun:

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
