All this talk of next years aus gp has reminded me how bad tens coverage was this year, so should we tell them what we want to see by way of a partition?

the first things that came to my head was...

banning layne beachley from attending the event and never giving her a mic at a motorsport event ever again (and informing her that a race isn't called a match it's call a race).

less interviews with d list celebritys/ people from masterchef and other reality tv stars and more interviews with race car drivers (former or current) and some information/facts about the cars they drove.

no more people from the breakfast show (seriously Paul Henry is more then Kochie) wait..... infact you should put paul in a two seat f1 car, the amusement would go some way to make up for the torture we suffered this year.

what do you think?

im in. i mean they had the least famous hemsworth brother on. not thor or the other f**ker, but some fat shit, that was in a bikey show! wtf? in fact can we all just chip in ten bucks hire a pub and pay Murray walker to commentate/entertain us.

two more..

the celebrity races should be conducted under the rules set out by the WANKR motoring occasion.

there should be more close ups of the walk of wimmans, we have a better caliber of wimmans here in aus then our uk masters and we should be doing our best to make them jelly of it.

Just go to Melb for the race, then you don't need to watch 10's coverage. But seriously there is a lot of downtime at the track, hence why they have to pad it out with crap.

Just go to it I'd say. Support the local event and keep it in aus.

If you think it's better watched on tv there is plenty of screens around showing the same shit you see on tv but with a bit more noise

But I'll signe it for the rest of the poor coverage.

Ditto....jump on a plane and come see the race in the flesh and hope to keep the GP here.

Channel 10 are a disgrace and I am sure their coverage will continue to be bad entertainment! Nothing wrong with cross promotion and trying to get people to turn on the box, but bad tv is bad tv....you would think it would be easy to cover the F1 with coverage and info on Aus/Nz greats like Brabham, Hulme, and other notable people like Perkins, Shenkin etc . Show the history the sport and Australian contribution to it....and interview the Australians in the pits working for various teams and show the Aussies behind the scenes!

draft one.

Ban layne beachley from attending the event and never give her a mic at a motorsport event ever again (and someone inform her that a race isn't called a match it's call a race).

less interviews with d list celebritys/ people from masterchef and other reality tv stars and more interviews with race car drivers (former or current) such as Brabham, Hulme, Perkins, Shenkin, webber, Ricciardo and some information/facts about the cars they drove/drive as well as what/who they were up against.

Show the history the sport and Australian contribution to it, interview the Australians in the pits working for various teams and show the Aussies behind the scenes (Sam michael ect).

No more people from the breakfast show (seriously Paul Henry is more annoying then Kochie is) wait..... infact you should put Paul in a two seat f1 car, The amusement would go some way to make up for the torture we suffered in 2012.

The celebrity race prizes should be awarded as per the rules set out by the WANKR motoring occasion regarding prizes.

They're as follows.

First will receive a case of beer.

Second will receive a case of beer.

Third will receive a case of beer.

Forth to last will receive a case of vb........... to encourage them to do better next time.

did i miss anything?

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
