He was a true Gentleman.. Sad sad day for Australian motorsport.

I remember when I was a little tacker I was chasing him to autograph my hat, he had like 5 assistants trailing him and was about 1/2 way up the stairs to his private HRT tent and he made the time to sign it.

Champion full stop

Some video articles for this inclined, there are 3 in total, including one with Bev aswell.

I must say, even though they arent together, its a very tough interview where she is very very honest.

I swear, i never thought id feel this crap all arvo/night - but the accident and death has really gotten me down - Kinda strange cos even though I was saddened by steve irwins death, it wasnt as bad as this - probably cos I love cars and racing and have been following it since I came to this country......I kept watching the news pretty much all night (both on tv and on the internet), probably a bad move - but I just couldnt get myself to leave it...

RIP Brocky

I am a ford man myself but for Peter I have never had anything but the utmost respect he was always gracious in defeat not that it happened much and a true gentleman when he won. Australia has lost its motoring King. I feel for his kids and his extended family it must be hard for them because he was such a big celebrity they will find it hard to mourn without the media on them 24/7

Take Care Brocky

Yep, RIP Peter Brock.

looking at those overhead shots of the site it looks like a fairly easy mistake, narrow road and the tree is mere meters from the edge of the bitumen, and from the radio interviews it sounds like he was fairly concerned about the tailiness of the car...

sad loss for aussie motorsport no matter who you support.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
