I don't understand the controversy didn't the end of the article contain the verdict:

Verdict: Unfathomably good

If he is also saying it isn't a whole heap of fun versus a typical supercar then why

is that a surprise? which is more fun ..

a) flying a biplane

b) flying a cessna citation

which is "unfathomably good" ?

Has anyone watched the newest episode of Top Gear (season 11 episode 1)?

There's a very very brief clip of clarkson in a red R35 GT-R racing a bullet train, saying "bullet train? PAH!"

downloaded/watched that lastnite, trying to work out which episode its coming out on.

does it matter which episode? your going to DL them all anyway... or at least I know I am!

Loved the first episode of season 11... go TG!

Oh yeah, the GTR... does anyone take what Clarckson has to say seriously!? he entertains the shit out of me but I would never buy or not buy a car based on his review

He entertains me too, but if you peel away all the BS and jokes he's actually full of facts and insight, believe it or not.

This goes for his writing (esp. pre-2000), as well as TG.

unlike the gay boy on the new episode. haha

indeed. no GT-R. they all go to tokyo for the GT-R review from the looks of the preview... or some place with a fast train (maybe they painted the french TGV white :D)

they must go to japan to get their hands on one.. are they released in the UK as yet?

this also means that they wouldn't have put it around the TG test track which is a little dissappointing

also, given his review of the new evo, clarkson SHOULD like the GTR as he craps on about how easy the evo is to drive and this is the impression i get out of the GTR.. but he is rarely consistent with his reviews..

There are JDM GT-R's in the UK. Quite a few. At least one has been flogged around the TG test track. Not sure if the Stig has had a go around the TG track yet in one though. Hopefully a JDM GT-R will suffice for there purposes or we could be waitin til next season :D

ye that was shit. i have read on wikipedia that the new gtr, evo 10 and wrx will be reviewed. They clearly f**ked it up, as after the episode was aired, they changed the imformation by getting rid of the new gtr comment they had on that episode.

thanks for posting this. great read!

It clearly says to me that he was shocked with the car and without praising it like he loves it he just bagged nissan for creating something that he never expected could be done.

Yeah I love his writing, read a couple of his books and I agree he's actually quite intelligent... but much of what he does is purely for entertainment so I would be careful believing every opinion he has without doing your own research

Let's go inside Jeremy's head for a minute !!

I am extremely INTELLIGENT. I am hugely MANIC. I am very POPULAR. I am aware that I have a massive READER as well as VISUAL AUDIENCE.

No how can I write an article on the R35 GT-R that's different than anybody else - because I also have my WEAKNESSES (such as some technical savvy)??

So since I'm so much in demand as an intelligent, manic and popular PRESENTER in TG, I can at least stir up people's emotions with SUBJECTIVE comments and leave a few OBJECTIVE TECHNICAL Specifications to someone else!

This is why Post #28 is so 'spot on'.

Cheers,

Terry

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
