JIM HUNTER MOTORSPORT TO PROMOTE FIRE APPEAL

The Jim Hunter Motorsport team competing in next weeks WPS Bathurst Showroom Showdown at Mount Panorama, have joined with the Salvation Army in an effort to help the Salvation Army disaster relief fund.

The three car Jim Hunter Motorsport team led by long time competitor and Baja 1000 winner Jim Hunter, V8 Supercar legend John Bowe and Biante Touring Car Masters champion Gavin Bullas in an outright contender in their Johnson Window Film MY08 Subaru Impreza STi.

The remaining two cars are in Class G, for Micro Sedans and Hatches, with a MY08 Subaru Impreza 2.0 R for an all girl team, Heather Spurle MBE, Christina Orr and Molly Taylor, and a MY05 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS with three Bathurst drivers, Matthew Windsor, Steve Shiels and Paul Newman.

All three Subaru’s will carry signage in a prime position on their front bars displaying the Salvation Army email address salvos.org.au that people can use to make donations to the appeal.

.

At Mount Panorama on Saturday 21st February, while the 12 Hour competitors are taking part in practice and qualifying and support event categories are racing, members of the Salvation Army will be at the rear of the Jim Hunter Motorsport garage where race patrons can make donations.

“The fires are a shocking thing, and it makes one feel so helpless. At least by promoting the Salvation Army’s Diaster Relief Fund, we’re doing something, and my two co drivers John Bowe and Gavin Bullas both reside in Victoria,” Hunter said.

“Motorsport fans are generally very generous in situations like this, so I hope they dig deep at Bathurst, for it’s a very worthwhile cause.”

“When we spoke to Major Phillip Maxwell of the Salvation Army PR division in Sydney

about this idea, he was really excited to firstly be part of the WPS Bathurst 12 Hour race and also our team,” said Hunter.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
