Hallo

Got my internets connected today - ADSL2+ is purely amazing when you live 600m from the exchange.

Top Gear nuts - which episodes featured skylines in them? Is there some sort of database where I could find this info?

Tristan = ripple strip?

Martin = ???

yeh grass side of a ripple strip

Proof that jap rims > cheapo chinese rims

not quite - if you'd hit the wrong side of a ripple strip, sideways at 100-120ish km/h your wheel wouldnt have survived either :nyaanyaa:

Yeah I'd also be keen to find that Top Gear info out...

I found this, downloading now so I'll report back.

Hallo

Oh hai

Got my internets connected today - ADSL2+ is purely amazing when you live 600m from the exchange.

NBN soon(ish), even better :nyaanyaa:

Top Gear nuts - which episodes featured skylines in them? Is there some sort of database where I could find this info?

One episode back in season 1, and a couple of episodes around when the R35 was released

Hit up wikipedia, pretty sure it has a list of what was in each episode

not quite - if you'd hit the wrong side of a ripple strip, sideways at 100-120ish km/h your wheel wouldnt have survived either :D

that 'pothole' I hit would have been as bad or worse than a ripple strip

So that torrent link I posted about the 1000hp R33 was pretty nice to watch hahahaha. Got my heart racing just that little bit :nyaanyaa:

Yeah I'd also be keen to find that Top Gear info out...

I've seen it before on youtube, there's another where he races the mclaren f1 in a stock gt-r. It would have been awesome if they did one with all the gt-r's.

I just wikipedia'd Top Gear and the GT-R was only featured in a few episodes, r34 in series 1 and then the 35 in series 11.

The wikipedia page for the original Top Gear doesn't list what cars are featured :nyaanyaa:

how is tafe?

I was struggling to stay awake today! Running on 2 hours sleep. Drank many coffees.

Sup mangs

My birthday this weekend...... you carnts gonna come out for a beer friday or saturday night?

My birthday before yours, broad minded person.

Hylian - RE top gear stuff.

You tube it bro. It'll save you a lot of time. There's bugger all. The new series of TG started in 2002 or something, so it was after the last of the real Skylines was done. As Martin said - a bit in season 1. But it's a crap review because the stupid fat bastard only rates them on their street car aspect, and really only reviews the 34 because the others are "too old".

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
