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".

    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
    • Cool, I’m just down Sydney today. Not much time to get online.
