oh this is turning into a funny afternoon. I would black flag and disqualify salmon for ignoring safety car orders.

lol too slow duncan...they've been leading all day but got taken just before the yellow flags apparently

yes....but only because officals don't enforce the rules and because drivers and teams choose to ignore safety. they are spot on about bringing back double waved (saying where the major incident is) but that doesn't take away the driver's ultimate responsibility for safety.

no shit, that evo's boot wing is higher than it's roof now. gald they are both OK

I hate seeing that sort of thing - what the hell was herridge doing? yellow flags everywhere and he still drives into the rear of a stranded car at full pace. people have to take yellow flags seriously, they are not a chance to catch up they are a safety warning

lol that will slow em down

Live streaming here, its pretty good! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bathurst-12-hour Also natsoft has results here, updated every few minutes http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results....2/2010.MOUN.R14 as usual in prod car racing these days, there are evos everywhere.

looks like you have a fun weekend ahead - I hope they let you get enough track time, they have a habit of happily cuttting support class time to allow more important things like grid walks and 1 car at a time qualifying. probably not such an issue over there because I guess there are less categories than usual

your biggest issue with fitting the brembos on an r33 gtst is that they will make f**k all difference. the gtst has pretty good brakes standard. the brembos are pretty small for an upgrade. they are a very bad choice $$$ for buck. either work on your standard setup (lines, good fluid, good pads) or go for something much better like the g4/d2/ksport 8 piston gear

yes and remember that rb20 or rb25 afms still max out at the same airflow...they just have larger cross section. you need to decide which problem you are trying to solve - restriction (get rb25 or rb20 ones) or outside the resolution/over 5v (get z32 or nismo ones)

mine makes over 300 (just) on 550s.

I love watching CNC machines work. But the real question is....what is the retail on a billet ally helmet, and how does it protect compared to a standard helmet

ahh well...its not like its a surprise that it wouldn't be around for ever. This is exaclty why I entered the last race meet even thought hte car was not 100%...I just was not willing to miss the last chance to drive on the best track in NSW.

hmm interesting event, but with my other club (combined touring cars) we have decided not to enter. Keeping in mind that is a genuine racing club there was too much concern about driving standards in that category. we may run a seperate support class instead but won't be entering the L2S event. and for what it's worth, personally I don't think there should be an L2S event at Bathurst. I understand the argument for regularity events at most tracks sort of, but not there. 40 cars on the track where the only requirement was filling in a form and sending in $100? It would not have been a big deal to require an "observed license test" for every driver and making them get a proper license.

I love your turbo threads.

the only impact of a properly designed spacer is the increased load on the hub from leverage. And as said above that is exaclty the same as moving to a lower offset wheel. much more important is "hubcentric". basically a wheel stud's job is to clamp the wheel to the hub, not locate it correctly. You must have a "hubcentric" fit between the wheel and the hub, this means that the wheel should be held in the right place by the hub not by the wheel studs. If you can put the wheel on without wheel nuts and rotate it a little it is not hubcentric. basically a hub has a ring in the middle, and the wheel should be a tight fit on that. if you add a spacer it must fit snugly on the hub, and the wheel must be located on that as well. I have never seen a slip on spacer that has a hub ring to locate the wheel.

lol they often do. for what it's worth the bush grease is perfect for the job. in fact pretty much any grease is ok for an o ring.

leon did mine (met him thru here) and he did a great job at a competitive price. and had a few options so I could choose what suited me

and if its wrong, and it does start...you will probably mash your valves the first time the motor spins. personally I would chuck them cam and get a new one. its not worth losing a motor over

good choice....what is the size of the new bars vs stock size? generally a sway bar is by far the best performance for $$$ mod you can make. But I suspect the r35 already has enourmous sway bars, especially up front

congrats, its great that a modified 35 gtr has caught up with a 21 year old R32

Congrats on your season last year Stu, I hope you have as much success this year. You are the only person I know personally who won 2 Australian Championships in the same year, in fact I am willing to be yet are the only person in Aus who won 2 champs last year....

you know....it really just sounds like a blown cooler pipe and incorrect compression test....are you sure you don't have a major boost leak somewhere?

sure it will help with skids....just wont help it chirp second

that's a shitload of metal for your money....good work Brad
