Just thought I would say a big thanks for nothing to our beloved WA State Government. With the last Rally Oz over and done with we now have absolutely no international class events left in the state.

Atleast now the worthless dogs can go back to focussing full time on being corrupt & incompetent. :)

But we do - we have the Red Bull Air Race - oh wait - that would run at a total loss considering they can't/aren't charging admission to see it!

Oh, great a fourth rate advertorial for a dodgy fkn energy drink. In Perth. Unreal. Wouldn't walk across the road to see it.

I will believe that the Bunbury track exists when I am driving down the main straight in my GT-R. Until then it is only a proposal.

Bad enough that country WA gets sod all compared to Perth. Then if you start to consider that Perth gets sod all compared to the east.... How many "National" series never get further west than Adelaide? Just about all of them. It is a joke.

your loss is our gain apparently - ie I'll believe it (rally Oz in QLD in 2008) when i see it. but rumour has it, it could be a tarmac rally! yeah!

It wasn't a loss, so much as the government literally couldn't give it away. They didn't want to hold it this year, but had to because of the contracts they signed. Tells you how on top of things they are. They put together some dodgy alledged economic analysis that "proved" $10 spend on a pie & a drink at an Ironman event in Busselton was worth $147 in economic activity. Apparently that same $10 spent at rally Oz was worth $16.

These pillocks reckon the money spent is too much of a drain. How much was this years state budget surplus? $1 billion, no $2 billion.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
