Dunno if anyone here is interested in V8supercars but they're my bag baby....

Personally im hoping that Seto can get up with Craig for his first Bathurst crown....

... but im tipping HRT and Skaifey to be on the pace from the word go although i wanna see Ambrose and Ingall decimate everyone on the day with the pace they've shown all year.

How are you tipping to win?

HRT one two if it rains purely because of skaifys and kellys skill and if it rains you gotta give jim richards a good chance to get up there. other than that I think ambrose and ingall will be up there but think ambrose will be doing as much of the driving as possible. I'd like murphy to be up there simply because he has had rotten luck lately and still has performed strongly.

Disclaimer: I am a Holden fan so I may show SOME bias :)

Hrmm its not gonna rain I already checked that. I'm thinking of going up to watch for the entire weekend... we'd be leaving 6am saturday and sleeping in our cars or where we are sitting (turn 1) and then prob get home like 10pm sunday nite.

Not sure if i wanna go yet coz it'll be a $250/wkend and i wanna go to the CRD Dyno Day (to watch the great race on tv instead of just watching cars go around 1 corner). Hrmmm decisions...

Watching it on TV would never compare to actually being there though. I would love to go oneday...

Anyway I'm going for Skaifey, Richards, and Murphy. But I think If Ambrose and Ingall don't have any bad luck they they'll win cauze Ambrose has just been a class ahead of everyone else this year.

In Adelaide theres motorsport on from 6:30am to 6:30pm and then Moto Gp on late at night! yay!:P

Yup at home you get to see teh entire race track, at Bathurst you get to see the 1 corner 161 times haha.

If you're going up there, just leave the 'line at home...the bogans haven't forgiven us for group A yet....

IMHO, home is the place to watch anything - big screen, replays, no crowds (unless u want one), and plenty of beer in the fridge :P

anyone know where you can bet on the race?

At home online at www.sportstab.com.au and also at www.centrebet.com.au

Sportstab is easier to use but CentreBet usually has better options and odds.

Television doesn't compare with actuallly being there. I don't care much for the V8s but i went to the 24hr last year which was great. Up the top of the mountain you can walk around almost half the track. You can stand at Skyline and get your ears blasted as they downshift before the chicanes and the next day the sounds and smells are still stuck in your mind.

The thing that puts most people off V8s is that Holden vs Ford bullcrap. All the guys who get fired up about that are just ignorant bogans.

Poor old Larry... at least as team owner you only have to kick your own arse when you drive into a wall. Its a shame coz I'd love to see either Larry or everyone's hero Jimmy carry off a huge upset victory :)

Sha-zaaa!

Pfft, they're no more falcons and commodores than the Aussie Legends are. They're all just controlled sports sedans these days.

Yup stupid gate, if the concrete wall continued right around the corner their'd be hardly any damage.

Yeah, thats what you get with street circuits, on permanent circuits they can plan things like run-offs properly.

Of course, the other thing that sucks about street circuits is that 99% of ppl can never race on em, Bathurst is only used as a track 2 weekends a year :)

BTW, I hope to god winterbottom can catch that smart arse Luff :D

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
