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

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
