Explains why they're trying to kill off the 12 hour.

Typical suprecrap form, kill off all forms of motorsport other than their own sh!t show.

re the GTR, there was an article a month or so back, where heads of Nissan pretty much said that they have no interest in cheapening the GTR's image, by having it race in this category.

Completely agree with them to, Its currently running across the globe against supercars, and having it in this series against commodores would be a huge step backwards for it image wise.

+1.

Good to hear that.

Didn't know they were against the 12 hour?

V8 Supercars? Definitely are. They are against anything competing with them and have done everything they can to stop any form of motorsport thats not part of their show.

Its why next year they have the Eastern Creek test, scheduled on the same day as the 12hour weekend, and due to contracts with Supercars, drivers like Rick Kelly must be at the test, and now cannot drive in the 12hr.

The fact that they're moving to a multi car type / engine grid now makes sense why they're doing this, as it will compete directly with the 12hour, will just be for cheaper cars and shitterer (yes its a word :) )

Does that mean no more live streaming of the 12hr? Sounds like if you want to watch any motorsport, you'll have to get pay TV if V8's have their say.

It'll be streamed and channel 7 will be broadcasting the whole event on 7mate for 2015. Cool eh?

      Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.

      So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.

      I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
