Turbo's only last 60,000 miles or less if you have a chip , what a load of cobblers, did they even bother to ask an expert or just make it up on the spot.

Too much talk and not enough car on this now crap programme.

Most pants episode yet.

Nowhere near enough car footage or hooligan antics.

Why, why, why didn't they time the skyline on the track????

4 door saloons for 20k? Anyone remember what time the MY02 WRX got round the track?

Just watched TG on BBC World. From what you guys are saying, it wasn't the same one - this was the Lambo vs Zonda show. How old is that?

I won't be complaining as at least I now get to see a motoring show in English

I really don't know about the new Top Gear either.

I liked the no non-sense approach of the old series but the "new" lad orientated show does seem to be concentrating on the cars that interest me i.e. performance

I believe the new show to be Clarkson's concept, and he seems to be firmly back in the Beebs good books as I heard rumours of him hosting "Have I Got News For You". Anyone else heard this?

Anyway, as far as the Skyline is concerned I wouldn't say no but just wait for the new car with looks to match it's performance.

I doubt Cem knows any Skyline owner who hasn't upgraded the standard Turbo's by then anyway so I doubt anyone cares.....

Question

How can Top Gear call the Skyline the only true Jap supercar????Isn't the 22B enough to take it on? I read an article the other day that the 22B would stonk all over a 911 turbo, without much effort!
