having not watched any prior eps last nite didnt get me off on the right foot. however all was redeemed when i saw the stig will be fanging the r35 next week so im eagerly awaiting that ep.

they said unlimited r35 does that mean the mines one??? it looked white so im assuming here...

on a side note i spotted my first r35 on sunday at heatherbrae just north of newi, silver and slick she took my eyes for an extended glance for sure!!!!!!!!!!

i assume it would just be a normal oz spec GTR, so I would expect it to be slightly faster than the one they had, only because of the limiter, but stories I hear are the Jap spec cars carry a little more power (like the original one they took around) so I think the difference won't be amazing.

maybe they're not allowed to review cars anymore after last year's damage :)

Yep. I second that. I cant believe I even sent in an application to be a presenter. I think I would have shot everyone too & then myself for being involved..... bloody hopeless. I have only watch 2 episodes & even then they were taped so I could fast forward thru 90%.

Didnt someone already post the outcome (of the Top Gear Oz unrestricted GTR test)? Suffice to say VERY close to GT2 time.

my problem with the show is they have two people on there with no people skills, and have no idea how to make the show entertaining.

they shoudve got someone like grant denyer and two other funny car nuts to do the show.

Agreed, Grant Denyer would have been great. current line up is sh!te

Grant Denyer !???!! We don't want to turn it into Top Gear's got talent or Dancing with the "STIG".... Or do we ? Hmmm

Try thinking of a decent driver that can actually present a show. The current guys are just hopeless. Maybe one of the drift guys like Leighton Fine or Luke Fink to back him up. They need a genuine personality not some half baked has beens or never was's

+ to all above

if you want to try to force some improvement you better email the advertisers who sponsor the show telling them you won't buy their products because they support it, send in petitions to SBS and other media outlets etc etc

however I think it here to stay because its not a real car show its lowest common denominator mass entertainment - look at the audience - lol and rofl

so if all else fails - use the ff button on your vcr by-pass all the advts and crap and justwatch the least mediocre part, the car test segment if its a car worth checking out - so you only have to endure 3-4 minutes in lieu of 60

I agree 100percent with that they need some decent drivers that can actually host a show too.

Maybe it's just me....but the new 1.07 Lap time would not have been matched by the 500hp rear wheel drive GT2 in the same conditions the GTR

had on tonight's show......looked very dusty/dirty track....... :P

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
