THE SHOW off the track will be just as exciting as the one on it at the 2015 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour.

Organisers have announced a new partnership with Raceline Events to promote a spectacular auto show at the February 6-8, 2015 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour Event that will fill Harris Park with colour and excitement across the weekend.

To be known as the Bathurst 12 Hour Supershow, the two-day Event will be a full-on show and shine complete with judging and a prizes – with presentations to be held during the lunchtime shift of the 12-hour race on Sunday.

The Supershow is expected to attract a huge array of competitors from around Australia that will fill Harris Park with colour, noise and excitement for fans at the circuit.

“We are excited to welcome Raceline Events to the Bathurst 12 Hour and are looking forward to the first ever Bathurst 12 Hour Supershow,” Event Director James O’Brien said.

“The Bathurst 12 Hour weekend is already a feast for the senses of motoring fans thanks to the wide variety of cars in the 12-hour itself and the three support categories racing on Saturday. This will just add to the variety for fans trackside.

“We pride ourselves on offering the best value tickets in Australian Motorsport for race fans and this will just make the experience even better, with plenty to see and do off the track as well as on it.”

Applications are already open for the show, with the first 150 entrants to receive a bonus parade lap of the full 6.213km Mount Panorama circuit on Saturday – between Bathurst 12 Hour qualifying sessions.

“Plans are also underway for a monster Supershow cruise potentially involving as many as 12 car clubs from four states and the ACT converging on Bathurst on late Friday,” said Raceline Events Ian Badock.

“It is expected that the Bathurst 12 Hour Supershow will attract participants from as far afield as Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne, as well as closer regions like Canberra and Sydney.

“The Supershow will cater for all makes, models and types of Street machines, Sports Cars and Supercars – plus race cars. It will also include a working Dyno for entrants to test the power of their machines, plus an Audio show that will attempt to match the volume of the on-track 12-hour product."

All entrants receive two weekend passes to the Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour Event with the first 150 to take part in the parade laps on Saturday.

Did I just hear the Mayor of Bathurst say something about building a New Circuit? :O

You did.

Pretty sure it's been in plan for a few years now but they're keeping it on the down low.

Not sure how residents of mount panorama feel about having a permanent track. It would mean a lot of noise pollution.

so so fantastic ,been watching all day,the gtr cleaned up cars worth too or three times as much.The Japanese driver is a legend.The other too young ones did an awesome job as well.Time for a celebration vino. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
