Where do you see Top Gear? 5th Gear is on the lifestyle channel on foxtel. Or at least it was, it hasn't been on lately. I've heard a lot about Top Gear, but never actually seen it.

I'll download it if I have to but is it on any channel on Foxtel or Free-to-air?

5th Gear can be a bit boring sometimes but the last one I saw was good. Had Porsche vs. Porsche and Lamborgini Gallardo vs. Ducati. The crash tests are usually good as well. I think the boring parts are usually the non-performance stuff. Like when they road tested different fuel efficient cars, or some bloody people-mover.

Top gear is on BBC World on foxtel but at random times. It's also a heavily cut down version of the one the BBC shows in the UK.

I watch Top Gear by downloading the full length episodes from usenet.

I already posted this on the Arial Atom thread, but for Top Gear fans Final Gear have some classic Top Gear episodes (1989-90) for download if you're interested.

Yeah ive been going throught them. Very interesting to see the old reviews... 1990 episode 7 - Tiff Needle gets show how to do the scandinavian flick in a rally car - this may be the first epsiode where tiff learns to go side ways... and now look at him... all he does is go sideways.

Also in the season of fifth gear episode 2 tiff drives a williams f1... man he was nervous and excited

Bring on more topgear and fifth gear

Funny - Im currently downloading and watching Top Gear episodes from 1989 and 1990. Im hoping ill run across a 1989 episode where they review the R32 GTR...

It seems to be more looking at auctions, car tips etc and then there is reviewing of the cars... it would be very interesting to see what they thought back then.

Episodes 3 is up.

It will be interesting to see if Clarkson's back holds up for the next season as by the end of the last he could hardly walk!!

What about the car 5th gear give away as prizes everyweek?? They are damn nice, and the answer to the multiply answer questions is always the same for the whole season :)

    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
    • 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
