Thank god for in-car video footage. Someone stole 30s off of me simply because "someone" decided my time couldn't possibly be right!

Hopefully I can get it back and they can decide that the time they actually recorded me getting was infact correct.

I am with the other guys, I am all for robbing guys with too much talent of some time here and there....keeps them honest :)

But, sucks if what i understand is actually true! Surely common sense will prevail and you will get your original time reinstated

Just fill in the form Andy, all your start times are in sequence and the order you crossed the line is via transmitter... with 30sec its a no brainer.

We had about four stages last year with discrepencies - but only lost out on about 7 sec which we left in case it decided anything.

TT

Yeah it's common Snowy, don't worry your precious head about it, as it's not really a conspiracy against you :)

Glenney did a superb job yesterday, that car is set up beautifully now.

YT though, fark! I know the car is a weapon, but sweet baby Jesus old Pointy can drive.

Greg,...... :(

Snowy's cars suffered an engine failure today,,,not sure how bad it is,,,hope he can fix it.

Neil.

ouch! that's a serious accident:(

Snowy has the worst luck... hopefully its rings or something they can continue on with and not a bearing issue... bummer

looks like whoever keeps it on the black stuff and doesn't break anything is going to win it

Update,,,seems snowmans engine is okay,,,but he's in need of a panel beater.

God I'm glad I'm back in sydney,,,Tassie is so bloody cold.

Mark broke a rear suspension arm today after the last stage,,,the CASE Tractor guys welded it back together and he'll be running again tomorrow.

Seems the RX8 may not be out,,,Mazda are shipping replacement parts as I type.

Neil.

    • 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.
