So there using parts (engine and springs) not certified in the series? Hmm crazy.

lol... they have been gone over... apparently the scruiteneers (sp?) were being very nasty this meet.

Their holden utes are under suspicion for the rear toe arm - its adjustable but an OEM adjustable arm. So it's debateable - no fines or exclusions sooooo fingers crossed.

Homebush will be interesting to say the least!!

The crank angle sensor chopper wheel had been tinkered with and was not in the correct position. (apparently - this is still subject to rumour at this stage)

All the engines are sealed, only way in is via the sump :)

Very stringent obviously. I didn't know that thought it was slightly open slather.
so basically they have to run the cars in close to stock trim? or are they allowed to change certain things on them to help with handling etc?

The cars all run the same gear... motors are stock, ecu's all have a controlled flash etc...there is no changing of anything, they all must run the same controlled items determined by the series... even tyres.

Cool. Karn Lowndes!

Side note.. Me thinks there needs to be more footage of the V8 girls.. Yep.

a quick recording of the XXXX angels pre-race performance comes in handy during the ad breaks. :( < Garry Rogers

    • 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.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
