bring back the gtr ah yes i remember the one that crashed on the hill stopped the race and still won ...... so its not ok to win a championship by been consistant but it;s ok to crash stop a race and win bathurst cause it;s a nissin ok i see

Its called the reg flag rule

the race was red flagged on THAT LAP, the sierra boys had not caught up and passed the gt-r yet dispite it being busted up, from memory they had nearly a laps lead on them..

the rules of the red flag are that when the race is stopped, they go back to the last full lap, so the lap before when the gt-r had all its wheels, was the lap considered the final lap..

the gt-r was still leading then wasn't it

thus they won

yes they won but they still caused the race stopage so how stupid is that rule ? u can crash and still win even if the crash happens b4 the finish line i fully understand the rules after racing myself for many yrs but it still was a stupid rule in the day of course the one eyed gtr fans would never look at it that way tho

MANY races have been won under this rule in simular circumstances

just because a car is on its roof, missing all its wheels and bent beyond recognition, does not mean it has to lose a race it was winning on the lap it was red flagged

its nothing to do with on eyed gt-r fans, its the rules..

The difference is that the GTR was AHEAD of the others.

Advantage should always be given to the person in the lead, as they had to earn that position. To get ahead, you at some stage have to be faster than the person behind you. (excluding lapping, where the person being lapped should concede the position)

There is a WORLD of difference between leading and crashing compared to losing, crashing out the person ahead of you and taking their position.

Being in the lead is like having the ball in team sports. That person earned that position and should be protected.

i dont know which race you've been watching but the GTR did not cause the race to be stopped. There was a crash on conrod straight involving 2 or 3 cars. the GTR had an off somewhere (cant remember where) and was returning to the pits with just 3 wheels. it slid down the start of conrod and couldn't stop or turn and joined the first few cars in there. after that 2 more cars joined in and also became stuck on the side of conrod. The GTR certainly didn't cause it.

If HRT/HSVDT had to employ dirty tactics to beat the faster Ford than so be it. R.kelly knows that he didn't win that championship the genuine way because Lowndes was faster the whole weekend. If it wasn't for the blocking from the Holden drivers then Lowndesy would have been further away from Kelly and this damn thing would never have occured. Although let's not go to the "if it wasn't for that" chapter because even me, an avid Ford man can see that if Lowndes didn't move forward and get hit by Davison then this whole thing wouldn't be big. I'm just really disappionted that it had to finish that way. I love V8 Supercars and if some of you guy don't then fair enough... this is a jap car forum i spose.

LOWNDES FOR '07 CHAMP

Why is everyone cracking it at HRT? From what i saw of race 1 footage it was hard but fair racing. Lowndes was a bit ambitous in trying to get past Skaife where he did...and was being typicla Lowndes in being almost too brave.

HSV Racing yes, but Todd and Mark?

oddly enough the craig lowndes officail site hasnt posted the results or even said a word about the Phillip Island round... I would have thought his fans would want to know whats going on with him and what he thinks about it all because he hasnt said much on the subject

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
