big chuckle meself as well. Not only that the plastic nascars ( speed cars ) were faster than all the V8 super taxis first time out.

not sure if the 5 ex F1 boys made the diff but.

It was truly a ford race i dont really care much one way or another but the difference between the cars at the moment is vast.

Also big thumbs up to Shane Price great bloke, had him in our pit garage looking over the SR3 radical. Got lots of insight into the V8 world.

you know, I've never met a race track I don't like and that include symmonds plains.

but my god it is boring to watch.

I haven't had a chance to be in front of the tv for qualifying all year, and I 've got to say the track and the format make for a *very* boring broadcast.

I was at the track today, and there wasn't a hole lot of passing going on in any of the catagories. Usually the hairpin (where i always watch) has a resnoble amount of overtaking/action, but it was all a presession today. even the V8 masters and utes were driving straight.

And the track dosn't look that good on TV at the best of times

so who will get it done? I would like to see monobrow take it out. he deserves a drink I reckon.

The craziest part of tassie was when mark king and whatshisface came together at turn 1 of the first production car race on sunday. nasty! that dude just harpooned king from way back. I guess he is sick of getting wasted off the line by the 4WDs but come on! he was goooone a good 50 meters before the corner, then launched over the ripple strip and nicely punted king off.

Final round this weekend, Who is going to claim the title?????

i think tander has an edge over the other 2 at the moment ( although it would be ironic if he lost the series by 2 points as Leanne was runner up in the F3's by 2 points)

I'm expecting FPR to be up the front again

His wife isnt nice at all, unlike most simpletons i dont buy into the whole show she puts on everytime shes on tv. I've seen her on the track more than a couple times and i dont have time for dirty racers. Her disregard for the safety of other competitors was sickening and she was literally boo'd by most people in pit lane after the race... mole

I spent a day in her pits. Spent most of the time working on another car with a problem as hers was fine and I didn't get any of that at all. I wasn't there officially but she still made the time to come a say hello and talk a while.

Aggressive driving can be useful if others are prepared to back off. Sometimes it's needed to win races. She got beat about a lot trying to crack V8's so maybe she's a bit more ruthless now. But a lot of guys have their egos tied up in not wanting Leanne to win races. Both on and off the track.

Garth on the other hand was a straight out wanker in that last round of last year. I lost a bit of respect when he was straight out blocking but it is just business.

And don't put yourself down. You probably aren't "most simpletons" but you can still be led by the crowd it seems. :worship:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
