In case anyone is interested the GTR is back on this Sunday’s Top Gear.
This time it’ll be lapping the track with the Stig behind the wheel.
The guest on the show are Theo Paphitis and Peter Jones who you’ll know from Dragons Den.
From Top Gear.com
It turns out that Clarkson wasn't entirely happy with last week's factory limited GT-R, because even though it beat the bullet train it didn't exactly destroy whole sections of the Japanese countryside, or spray power stations with deadly fire breath.Like we'd expected it to.
So Jeremy takes it out for another spin on this week's show, this time however he is taking it to a place with no traffic, no speed cameras, no police and most importantly no speed limiter!
-
I just love that car. I'd even use it as a daily drive. Wouldn't care about practicality or what you look like getting out. I'd be so happy.
-
does putting a zorst air filter on effect performance in a negative way then!?
I've never ever seen comparison dyno's of before and after but yes mod's of this type can have a negative effect on performance.
-
Anyone else think the front looks like Ferrari, the middle GTR and the rear is more traditional Lotus?
-
God I love that car.
-
Sounds great. Tell me you saw and heard the mazda furai. The bastards didn't take it to the Geneva show. I was deeply disapointed.
-
Great pictures Adam. I have one criticism, not of your work, that I hope you’ll consider in future.
Remove the number plate from the front and put a fake plate on the rear advertising your work.
Definitely remove the front.
Especially on a beautiful car like this the plate is hideous. The designer never included the front plate in his/her design but did include the rear.

Remember the Enzo that was hit by a bus? It was driven by a Ferrari dealer on the way to a Top Gear photo shoot. There was a court case last year by the owner looking for 300k in damages. Don't know the outcome.

Did you enjoy the show? Where you entertained?
Top Gear is about having fun. Particularly in cars you most likely will never get to drive. If you want a review read a magazine.

True but if you want a black merc try this:

If only I could afford one.
The 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine has been tweaked by AMG to 670bhp and 1000 Nm of torques - that's 737lb/ft in old money or 152lb/ft more than an SLRSL 65 AMG
-
Yep. Dublin.

wish them all the luck but am surprised that they haven't addressed the main issue which is the engine rebuild at 30,000 at a cost of 8k
+1 If they addresses the engine issues I'd probably trade in the Z.

Image001.jpg bottom right hand corner as you look at the photo. Get you hand under there and see what wires you can find. On my car (Irish, doesn't come with phone pre-installed) there was two wires with plugs. One goes toward the front front someplace. Probably the stereo. And the other went to the cubby in the armrest. The control box plugs into these two wires.
-
Starting to get a little annoyed about this. All the recalled Z’s seem to be from June 07 i.e. the first batch of 07’s which mine is yet my dealer says there’s no info on the system for the Z never mind my VIN number.
Anyone here able to run a VIN for me through Nissan?
-
Does a JDM have controls on the steering wheel for a phone? Would have to see pics to know what's going on.

No problems with v2.40 firmware for me. I know Sony have withdrawn it but I suspect the issue lies with the 60GB model which was withdrawn.

It really was some race.
Although Hamiltons performance was perfect he didn’t win it on over all pace. He kept the car on the track when the others were spinning like they didn’t know which direction to go. That showed he’s real talent. To be able to maintain a good pace and keep it on the track with so little experience behind him.
Ferrari lost any chance of winning the race themselves. As soon as they saw the times Ruben was putting in they should of pitted Kimi for extreme wets. At one point Ruben was putting in laps 30’s up on everyone. That’s a pit stop. Two laps at that pace and you’ve covered the time needed to put the tyres on and change them back to inters. Rubens career long bad luck never leaves him. Of all the people to have fuel rig problems it had to be him.
Can’t work Massa out. He’s never been the best in the wet but come on. He could have been running a short throttle peddle like Rubens but I don’t think he does. Maybe he was running a lower ride height to everyone else.
Heidfeld, great race. Excellent passing move. It looked so simple.
The real first lap looser was Webber. He must have been gutted when he spun on the first lap. Great qualifying lap and he was rumoured to have had they same fuel as last year. I was really looking forward to seeing his pace and if the fuel rumour was true.
Donnington would be a great track. There were a few comments mentioned over the weekend that were interesting. The CEO of Donnington said they had been working with the planning authority and the council for sometime so the plan is probably in place and just needs approval. Bernie drop a hint that although contracts were signed Silverstone could do a deal with Donnington. The CEO of Donnington also said the 100M funding would come from a “fan-powered debentureâ€

So just to clarify, the xbox does not play blue ray. Is that right???
I don't play any of the games specific to the xbox where as I do play GT and wanted blue ray so it wasn't a difficult choice for me.
I did try COD on the xbox but I wanted to stamp on it after 30 secs. In the past I've always play 1st person games on a PC with a mouse and keyboard. Having to use a controller drove me insane. Does your son play games like that on the PC?
HD DVD is officially dead. Was announced back in Feb I think.
The 40GB PS3 doesn't have a card reader and the 60GB has been discontinued.
As far as I know both have hard drives that can be swapped for larger ones.
I use media server on my laptop a lot through the PS3. Download tv shows from the US as I'm too impatient to wait for them to be released here.
With a present like this I think you need to have a chat with your son.

Did you hear the lastest????
F1 is moving to Donington Park from 2010. Contracts have been signed.
great!!
Great if it is, who can ever forget Senna's opening lap in 93 in the rain.
Here's a video of the opening lap for those that don't remember it.

The confidence he displayed in this one lap is incredible. I wonder what other drivers thought after watching a repeat of the race.

The Alonso rumour beens going since some time last year but I think he might be resigning to Renault.
There's a rumour going round that Ferrari might be looking at Robert Kubica.
Hamilton drove a great race. McLaren's decision not to pit could of ended very badly. Denis said they got it a little bit wrong. They didn't need to pit but the risk was how long the safety car stayed out. Any longer or with a different driver and they wouldn't of won. Worth the risk I say. Great race.
