Did anyone go? Anyone watch it?

I just got back from spending a couple of days up there and it was awesome.....

Gotta love the yobbos on the top of the hill..... pitty no women took them up on their "magic Carpet Ride" which consisted of a piece of carpet with a hole in it :P

The weather is ever changing.... sunny bottom, freezing top.... some good grid girls to look at and the new pits are awesome.....

I think ive set a new record... Cracked open a burbon and coke at 5AM.... was sitting with my mate in about -10 degrees in our good position on the main straight and it had to be done..... trust me at 5am the place was reasonably packed.....

Pitty about the result.. i was looking forward to seeing lowndsie up the top... it was a feat in itself getting that car to finish with missing front windscreen, rear windscreen and drivers window......(sports tonight to find out why)...

Sorry about the lack of layout in my post..... ive just got home after driving since 5 and had maybe 2hrs sleep last night.....

The bogans were blowing up stuff all night which shook cars and set off alarms in the surrounding streets :)

The "heated exchange" between Ambrose and Murphy was interesting....

I was half hoping that Murph would deck Ambrose when they had their little standoff after their incident. It would have served Ambrose right as he is the most arrogant piece of work going around in the series...can't say I felt sorry to see his car on the back of a tow truck either :)

Was a fairly good race overall, but I couldn't believe the amount of incidents that happened during the first half of the race. You would have thought it was a sprint race they way some of the drivers were acting.

Good to see the red car back at the front where it belongs :P

This was a ford year..... i saw so many FPV cars on the way there, parked and way back and saw maybe 2 hsv's.. weird huh.....

Channel 10 missed both lowndes incidents... you would think that with so many cameras they would have captured it all.

How unlucky was lowndes and how luck was not to be hurt.... can be pretty nasty when a wheel goes through your window

Yea I was down there :D I had a seat just on the end of the main straight...looking up Mountain straight....was there at 4am....loads of people there too!

Great race...Good to see Skaife back on top

But damn! No bloody sleep....I was camped the back of a Volvo XC70 next to some bloody piromaniacs from Blacktown....Didnt sleep at all :P

But overall....top few days :blink:

it's a pity about Jim Richards and James Courtney... I was looking forward to seeing how Courtney would go.. he's a top driver

Top driver or not, I don't think Courtney will be getting a start in another AUS enduro any time soon - there's no excuse for fcking it up by trying to hard that early on in a 6 hour race. Plus he deprived us of the chance to see Jimmy on the track!

I would have liked to see Lowndes win (yep, I'm a secret Ford Fan from way back). The first mistake was his fault, but the tyre through the windscreen was the worst bit of bad luck I've seen since Jimmy's visit from Skippy last Bathurst!

Also nice to see Ambrose come unstuck - I used to be a fan but his arrogance this year has been astounding! Murphy's not much further up that food chain, so I guess it couldn't have happened to two more deserving blokes!

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.

      I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.

      I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard

      If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
