was anyone else contemplating suicide from the telecast....

god the team they have drives me insane i want to watch motorsport not larko, crompton, skaife have personal jokes. That idiot from sunrise talking about god knows what about the taxis, even throughout the support races..

Go race and strategy by brighty to make up the lap and get close to the top 10

Murph's argy-bargy passing move was more than a bit, er, marginal. V8 stockcars must be employing F1 race stewards...

Thought there were a few marginal passes.. Tander on Kelly was a bit rough

I reckon the category is the problem not the telecast. the racing is just rubbish and spreading it over 8 hours makes it worse.

But hey, its the biggest race of the year in aus....and I don't mind spending all day in front of the tv drinking beer :D all and the rookies each year guarantee some crashes.

You mean the shit that Clowndes has been getting away with for years. Good to see the shoe on the other foot for a change. :D

the advertising to content ratio was woeful as usual- "here's 90 seconds of pacecar, now for 5 minutes of the same fkn ads you're already sick of seeing"...

i thought the shot of the back of the front brake rotor was a pretty interesting camera angle though. nice to watch the sparks fly at the end of conrod

didn't watch enough of the broadcast to catch all of the no doubt numerous dodgy moments, but Murph def should have got a drive through for that effort, really

Days Of Thunder spec- "racin' is rubbin', son..." lol

it's one thing to have an advantage into the braking zone, it's another to come steaming in too shallow and too hot and just jam your nose into the other dudes rear quarter

not that i really care for the team affected (or any of 'em really), but it's the principle of the matter, y'see...

lol good race at the start and end, coverage was shithouse due to not being in high def here and the unending effing ads!!! Pace car came out too often as well, talk about making it BORING when its restart after restart! Felt bad for tricky ricky Kelly, was hoping the boys were gonna hold off til the end, apart from that bloody pace car making em all bunch up again!

Clowndes deserved a punch in the face from the other driver for that pit lane thing, couldn't believe he didnt get penalised for some of his other shenanigans either.

True, the officials wrecked the start of the race when they put the safety car out for the first corner incident. FFS, they had two minutes to get the spun car out of the way! Totally took away from the usual first few laps of argie bargie.

and yes, the damned ads, bloody repetative and way too long! Ridiculous.

      First/Second Post

      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!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      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.
