This is absolutely shattering, i cant believe this.

It is such a devastating thing and really dont want to believe its true.

This week wouls have to be one of the worste weeks in AUS history

Between Steve and Peter both of you were True Austraklian icon

RIP both of you we have loved watching you over the years, you both have brought such joy and happiness into our lives and we cannot thank you enough :P

May our deepest condolences go out to your friends and families, you both will be truely missed

Whats more creepy than anything is that, they died 4 days apart and their birthdays are also 4 days apart.

Simon :O

What a sad day in Australian motorsport.

I'm shattered, I remember when I first realised who brocky was when I was only 4 or 5 in the early 80's at the Touring Cars at Sandown. And following the rounds with my family as I grew up.:O

He was an absolute legend and will never be forgotten.

RIP Brocky #05 - King of the Mountain.

Bring on the Peter Brock Bathurst 1000....

#05 Racing till the end!

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
