The Alford GTR will be competing in Support of the V8's in the Australian GT series

http://www.australiangt.com.au/_assets/ENT...%20BATHURST.pdf

Should be a great class battle between the Z06, GTR and Exige. Last time At EC the Exige came out on top

My money will be on a clean sweep by Wall in the Cup S (but then again i am biased towards this team).

However with the amount of restriction on the 997 the lambo's will be strong. Viper will be unstoppable down the straights and the Aston shouldn't be too slow either so should be a good weekend of racing .

Better than the taxi's at least

Oh also forgot races will be televised :)

Seen the exige up close quite recently, real nice car. I know the Chief Engineer. Watch out for it, they have done something special to it.

Having both R35 and highly moded Exige (240R spec) in my Garage...

I can't see the Exige winning over an R35 in the Prod Class on anything but the smallest of tracks ....as the Exige just does not have the legs.....

But hey.......all it takes is some talented driver and one Exige getting trashed to an inch of implosion.

wonder what sort of handicaps each competitor runs?

Its a case by case situation.

The Wall Cup S has everything under the sun short of having to tow a caravan to slow it down. To a point where it was dangerous (and outside FIA regs at the Clipsal)

So the more success = Greater restrictions on the car.

My Bad, I misunderstood the classes. I didn't read whiplash's original post properly about the production class. :ermm:

The car I am talking about is the Elise GT3 car in the championship not production class.

Go the GTR in production class :rant:

Them is some pretty hopeless lap times for an R35. Was it raining?

You will remember that Luff ran a Bathurst lap time in a bog stock Aussie R35, wearing Bridgestones,

on a damp track, requiring him to brake and lose 50km/h before entering the chase.

He still ran a 2:25.

What gives? I would expected better from a stock GT-R, let alone a race prepped one.

No nissan pulled out of being the safety car.

V8 supercar want the GTR to be painted in XXXX colours and nissan refused to have the "safety" car linked with alcohol. Fair enough i say, so Nissan took the car back and now AUDI supply the safety car

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
