It wasn't queueing that cost 888 the win as the time is recovered when sitting behind the safety car, what lost 888 the win was the group of cars traveling behind 88 when Whincup had that battery issue, Tander was already past 88 and in the pits and 888 was stuck about 5 cars behind 88 across the top of the mountain at walking speeds...

It wasn't only the queing but also the loss of track position it cost them, working through traffic costs time. but yeah having JW hold everyone up over skyline didn't help.

To be honest I think the race controllers are bit over the top with the safety cars, it does take away from the race.

Is it just me or does Nick Percat have the makings of becoming Australia's answer to Sebastian Vettel?

He seems to be the complete knob. I was half expecting him to raise the finger when Tander crossed the line!

In saying all of that - fair drives from him and Thompson on the weekend. Two names we are sure to hear a fair bit of in the future I'm sure.

Yeah I agree, we where saying that a page or so back.

No doubt a decent steerer, but a complete twat

yeah. decent behind the wheel, just keep him away from cameras and a microphone.

He'll spend the next 40 years scrubbing wheels for DJR to pay for the car he wrote off......

nah, they'll buff that out. that car will be at the gold coast race for sure.

i was at work and tried to watch as much of it as i could. could someone fill me in with what nick percat was saying?

Also curious what Nick Percat said as my mate just had a family dinner with the guy

Also just got a text that apparently Mark Skaife were pretty pissed off at him

    • Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and today I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany
    • Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.
    • I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.
    • Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
