What he said about the skylines is nothing but the truth. Crap is if he were lying.

R32's with crossed drilled rotors are known to crack when heated and cooled too quickly.

R33's have a 3rd gear syncro that wears out pretty quickly.

Every car has flaws and the GTR's are no different. The difference is weather their minor or major.

yea i was a bit stumped about the syncro statement ???

mine is still going strong. and none of my mates have problems.

i can understand the rotor thing,,,but never heard of it happening.

but he has nothing useful to add. so i think he may just be talking some crap, just to fill his segment.

If I'm a little too harsh on gear changes I crunch in between 3rd and 4th. Granted I don't drive a GT-R, but it is a problem I face every now and then. Just means I need to use my head instead of the syncro sometimes.

As for tyre wear on the inside... negative camber does that... but even so, is this really a "flaw" or just a side effect? Its easy to fix though. How? Buy new tyres. Can't afford new tyres? Then you shouldn't be able to afford a car, let alone a performance one.

did anyone watch TOPGEAR on sbs the other day, the fat guy was talking alot of shit about the skylines and jeremy clarkeson said to him that they were great cars. i heard say that the R32 brakes would explode and the r33 engine is crap with the gear changing, but he said that the R34 GTR is a "bulletproof" that was good until he said the wheels were crap. i love this show but they were too harsh on the skylines they called them a playstation which i think is right to an extent Coz wen u crash u dont get a new car but die. what other people think of this show and comments about the skyline

welcome to yesterday bro

Who gives a shit what Top Gear say about Skylines.

Cuz if the car ain't a English and/or Euro car they nit pick the shit out of it thats not worth listening to IMO.

Clarkson took a TVR out in one episode and blew his load over it and said he'd be up to the change to car, so Vicky Buttler Henderson (VBH) got a GTR R32 and with a few mods and a 2.8lt conversion / stroker kit and put Clarkson to shame.

Good on her for doing so. Shut the old f**ker up.

yeah i know, jeremy clarckson was defensive about the skylines he didnt say anything wrong, but the fat guy was talking alot of crap!

Who cares about what the fat guy thinks, just cuz he needs a fat car to fit his fat ass in the sit and he should go on that TV show The Biggest Loser.

:/

^^Yeah dude Im not going nuts over what he says, I just find it really stupid (If he is "setting up" the scene) just for entertainment / acting.

Top Gear do make it entertaining tho. They can pull of a segment on a ordinary sedan and make it more fun to watch then the AUS car shows doing a segment on a race car. :/

Now who's being one-sided?

He's also criticised the lacklustre build quality, the lack of traction control, ABS, or any other safety aid in a 400hp/ton car, the twitchy handling, the fact that you need to be some kind of art major in obscurism to work out how to open the door or start the car when it comes to TVRs.

And lets not forget that most of the Rover employees blame him and Top Gear for burying their company after they always did demeaning reviews of anything they turned out.

He's not exactly a fan of Vauxhalls (Monaro excluded) either.

good old clarkson,

i have one of his old videos(whats that?) where hes look for the best car in the world ever(so he says)

with richard burns(rip),and tim harvey. test ferrari,porsche,mitsi 3000gt,r33 skyline,and others

gtr eats every thing 1 second quicker fastest lap.

clarkson says fastest there but unexciting.

then says ferrai maranello(i think by memory) is best car

throught there and then clarkson has never put shit on a ferrari

must be sponsored by them or something. :D

I was told about this show after it had aired, but found somewhere to download it yesterday.

Yeah, I was a little like 'WTF?' at the exploding brakes comment, they also said that the turbos are only good for 50,000K's...

Whilst I do find the show interesting at times, I can't stand the compares - especially Clarkeson. He's SUCH a freakin' KNOB.

By the way, that was a very old episode: season 1, episode 4.

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
