just got given some info from the gold coast bulletin about the future of the V8s' at indy..

they need to upgrade the pit area to allow enough room for the number of cars in the championship now! if this upgrade is not done then the V8s will have to be removed from the bill...

they are asking poeple to answer this question:

"Do you support a new pit area on Macintosh island to keep the V8 Supercars at indy?"

All you have to do is SMS yes or no, or provide a comment under 25 words,and SMS it to: 0416905147

you can email your opinion to [email protected]

the problem they are facing is its a park and they need to remove trees (2%) 30 trees in total, it will mean more parking for the area and the V8s' will run at indy in the future.

if you like to go to indy and see the V8s' then let them know!!

Thanks, Matt....

i think they should scrap the V8's and get the amature race/cruise community of the gold coast to replace them..............

the pit stop can be any macca's carpark and bonus points are awarded to neon's and all maner of rice. bonus points for chrome should be awarded on a 'per meter squared' basis. also, however many people you have in your car acts as a points multiplyer. ie, 2 people in the car means 2X points, 4 people means 4X points..............

hell i'll buy a ticket to watch that................at least they'll still drive like nutter in the rain :cheers:

lol you might be onto something there paladin.

But on a serious note there are more then enough hi-powered import/v8/exotics around here to put on a few good races and would compliment the indy cars nicely.

Inexperianced drivers with no race licenses in performance cars racing eachother would make for good spectator/tv viewing but I’m not sure whoever runs the show would like it :cheers:

maybe some time trials?

PS v8's should be there but only if they race after the indycars so they get rained on for a change :ghost:

Well I would have to say I enjoy the V8 supercars more than the Indys... Having been to both Indy and Bathurst numerous times, I can say the V8's provide a much more physical and interesting race... They are nowhere near as fast as the Indy's but definately more involving...

IMO

I'm with strutto, i'm a dedicated V8 supercar fan and watch every race and always attend the QLD 500 (or 300 now). I go to indy for the V8's, the champ cars are pretty cool but if there was no V8's i wouldn't go.

SMS sent!

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
