I'd leave that one to the V8/Holden boys and girls.

I think it has nothing to do with the cylinders, or manufactuer of your vehicle!!!

An awesome person (who was also a major car enthusiast) has passed away and as fellow car enthusiasts ourselves, showing our respects through a 'memorial cruise' has nothing to do with what type of category our cars fall into.

We can all miss him equally-regardless!!

RIP-Brocky

If you were Peter Brock what would you think is a fitting tribute?

He was a genius and a great role model to many, many people, a small mark of respect from our community will not be disrespected by anyone, in fact it could be a chance to show others that we are just like them when it comes to hero worship and the respect due to a legend.

um, bit out of line there, don't you think Mud?

you don't have to be a V8/Holden person to have liked/looked up to Peter Brock

perhaps if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all?

just saying would be more fitting if they did it.

no disrespect meant at all.

that's all.

No disrespect taken, can see what you are getting at. He was after all predominately famous for bathurst in a Holden. But give credit where credit is due, he was an icon for motorsport, regardless of what he drove

Why?

He raced all sorts of cars...

he raced Volvos, BMW's, Ford Sierra's (4 cylinder turbos, which i happened to own one of in the past), Toranas (Which is a muscle-car i want to, and have always wanted to, build as a project, later in life)

so i don't see how saying we should 'leave it up to them' really fits?

Peter Brock and Dick Johnson were heros to me when i was a child.

My first car was an LJ Torana, Just like Brock's, ive still got a poster with a young Peter walking away from his beautiful XU1 with long hair and all...

RIP Brock'y was a pleasure to meet the man and share a ride around QLD Raceway 3 years ago.

Enought from me...

Cruise, i would prefer to sit back and have a BBQ and a beer and watch Bathurst this year. I think this years bathurst will be a special day. Ill be waking up early for bacon and eggs and I be planted in front of the tv all day with a esky close by and ill be thinking of him. My childhood hero.

For us oversea's noobs..does anybody mind just quickly explaining who and what he did for Aussie motorsport? Ive read about him a little bit and heard of his name but sadly nothing of his background :P

Was he on a par to Senna?? or Allan Jones? Was he ever a Nissan driver? Thank you :O

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
