how good is the FIA GT1 lately? so much passing I don't know what to do with myself. watched race 1 at interlagos the other day. was interesting after recently watching F1 race there.... The GT1 boys have no trouble sliding past each other. and the noises. my god the noises. apart from that all the cars look fantastic.

some people might tell you its down to the operational differences between the GT-R and Subi/Mitsu awd systems, but we all know it's actually because Godzilla is a real mans 4 wheeler :D

thanks guys. I've got lots of incar from my car in that race on youtube (it was much wetter than the TV cameras showed), but I really wanted people to know that you can watch Australian motorsport on TV that is not just taxis.

Hopefully they got the viewing numbers they need to, to go ahead with the plans to televise the whole champs next year as part of a 20 series show on Speed.

Lots of us complain about how boring supertaxis are....so support something different with your eyeballs :D

I find the NSW state rounds more fun to watch than V8 stupid cars. Most of the classes relate and they actually do some overtaking. When I have some time between Duncan's sessions you will find me checking out the other classes. I particular like the under 2L improved prodies,,,.

Cheers

Neil.

duncan and everyone else. if you want this to happen you need to contact foxtel and/or speed channel (it's not a foxtel owned channel) and let them know you LOVE the new channel speed and you LOVE coverage of local racing championships. otherwise it will just fade away. they now have a one in one out policy so for every new channel that gets added an old one gets cut. I can't remember which they cut for speed (may have been the "how to" channel). They need this feedback to know they are on the right track. ratings are so easily skewed since so few people participate in TV ratings. in reality they have NFI what people are watching so we have to let them know. :)

I have already done so. Hell even tell them you are a member of a car club with branches in most states of Australia and that the new Speed channel and is a hot topic of discussion with lots of new viewers watching it. :) I know I already have.

All that aside, great race dunc. the start was awesome! shame the 'moment' at T3 cost you 2 places but up till then you had those guys covered despite a clear power difference between the cars. I guess the wet evens that up a bit but it's still a tough track to keep fast cars behind you. :) well done mate. it must be nice to hear "Duncan Handley" mentioned on TV with nice things being said.

      my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast

      Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.

      I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?

      Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science

      Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
