Yes... top gear or 5th gear... I don't remember. They reviewed the R32 GTR definately, and i'm sure they did the R34 at some stage.

I also have a file called "1000hp Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 Tuned by JUN Tested by Jeremy Clarkson.avi" which was quite good. Not much info on the specs, but he was amazed.

There have been several that I can remember.

Jeremy Clarkson reviewed the R32 on an episode of Motorworld once. The Japan episode (obviously). It's not top gear, but it's the same guy so who cares. Some fat guy from Top Gear had a buyers guide on the R32, R33 and R34 skylines. Jeremy Clarkson reviewed the R34 on Top Gear. Tiff Needel reviewed the R34 on Fifth Gear. Jeremy Clarkson drove a 1000hp R33 on one of his DVDs. CAn't think of any others off the top of my head. All of these are available on file sharing programs such as Kazaa, Emule etc. and they are highly likely able to be found as torrents. Also try Google videos.

THere will be something to do with an R34 at some point in the current season as there was footage of one in the preview at the start of the first episode.

The R32 GTR was reviewed in Top Gear Magazine back in 92. I know because it was my dad's GTR that Jeremy Clarkson reviewed. It was the first R32 GTR to be imported and reviewed in the UK and was imported by Middlehurst motorsport of which Andy Middlehurst raced an R32 GTR in the Saloon car championships and received major sponsership by Oracle because my dad was working for Oracle in the UK at the time....Just some useless information for you :)

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
