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 :)

Larry is a champion ! - Who else would have admitted to losing concentration ?

[HSV guy] hmm, that's not what they told me when I bought my HSV jacket, beach towel, undies, toothbrush and bedspread....:confused:[/HSV guy]

rofl

How lucky was winterbottom, white has some sort of flat spot problem so has to brake way too early for the chase, made mistakes 2 laps in a row and Winterbottom and Luff got past.

The bloke should buy a lotto ticket.

It doesn't sound like a big deal compared to the full 1000 race, but 1 reckon an hour in these cars around Bathurst would be bloody hard work - god knows an hr round Oran was hard work, and 2hrs around wakefield almost killed me :)

isn;t it amazing - not just 1 sec faster than EVERY other car, but think how hard it would be to do the fastest lap ever in 1 single lap - no practice runs to get your head straight first, just go out and BAM.

Good betting there benm!

How good was that lap with Murphy.

If either Seton/Lowndes , Skaife/Kelly, Murphy/Kelly , Richards/Longhurst get up then i'll be happy. As long as Ambrose/Ingall crash out hopefully with Russell "Tool" Ingall behind the wheel then ill be twice as happy

If only Dumbrell wasnt partnering Mezera, i have a wounded puppy syndrome thing going with good ol' Thomas.

I know there are rules - but I reckon Skaife was robbed ! That wasn't dangerous !

Hats off to Murphy though !

Perkins did good after smashing the car - but I reckon it will be his last Bathurst.

Yeah - and Jimmy - not so much of a Gentleman !

A great race !

Now for Suzuka ! Yeah Baby !

I can't believe Skaife wasn't black flagged the very lap it became apparent, indeed even the very move that caused it was sus. You can't just drive round with panels hanging off....

Also, he shouldn't have gone for that move on Bowe anyway, it was plain dirty, but I expect that of Skaife. S.Richo's hit on JB was pretty dirty too, Not to mention Larry's BULLSHIT comments about it, well done Brad Jones to not erupt when Larry spewed such crap.

Interesting to see what happens after scruiteneering, It seems strange to me that Murphy suddenly picked up so much pace....His team were heard to say on the radio "pick up as many stones and crap as you can to bump the weight up..."

An interesting race, tis for sure. I was really disappointed Bowe/Jones didn't get on the podium, and surprised that Murph's qualifiying for held out.

The thing with trying to pick up weight is common, so i doubt you will find anything comes of that.

Hat off to Murphy, was the deserving winner, and hat off the old LP, may have not been on the pace of Steve Richards but he still raced hard and fair and made the other guys work for it.

Look at the fact that Kmart racing statred racing a new car at Oran park with absolutely no testing, and was stillcompetitive at Oran that event.

Then Sandown and Bathrust with only two test days, then i have no prob accepting where their speed came from once they got a chance to collect data prior to an events qualifying

It will be interesting to see if Dumbrell gets another go next year, i would love to see Mezera get back with a reguar drive... and i couldnt help but think about where was Wayne Gardner when looking at some teamates struggle with the pace of the race.

Looking forward to the next few rounds. Hoping SBR trips over!

Nothing Jimmy did was to bad, all clean moves as was the one when Skaife got hit by bowe, he wasnt trying to pass Bowe he was getting by the other ozemail car. But there was lots of other deparate moves going on

Pitty the official ruiened the racing yet again, if skaifs door was dangerous why did they not black flag him streight away, if they did and he pitted he would have still been in third at the restat and could have pushed for the win, and would have won.

    • 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!
