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

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

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!

      I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      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 style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no 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).
