LOL i bet she was nice to her pit crew and staff... be stupid not to.

And aggressive driving is one thing, having a much better car than most (if not all) the competitors at the time and still feeling the need to literally drive two other guys completely off the track is another. The boo's she gets when people recognice her around Albert park still make me LOL

Albert Park?

There's your answer right there. Melbourne is full of haters made worse by the miserable one day - sh*thouse the next weather. Sif anyone takes notice of what you guys like Down There......:)

And a big revup to Lowndsey too. If you aren't going for the win mate then payback to the Toll HSV cretins for last year at the Island.

meh nice to drive maybe.

but too smooth, camber is correct on almost every corner....they just dont make enough mistakes. these guys will cruise around in their current positions for the next 14 laps.

Me neither but Perkins Engineering needs a half way talented driver.

Now I am not saying that Price or Perkins won't get there, but...

If you look at who was last in the points standings (for teams) you get BOC.

They are getting two new Walkinshaw built cars & McConkers next year. So things are looking up for them.

Next line line is the Perkins team. Second last. Beaten by WPS, PWR etc etc.

So clearly they need someone or something new. I am just not sure of the four HRT/HSV drivers Toddler deserved that fate.

Anyway who is getting the second HSVDT seat. Surely not Dumbrell?????

Having viewed the races from the Triple 8 garages and met the team...all i can say they are a team of champions from the drivers down through to the mechanics and staff. They were always smiling, happy and not winging carrying on even when Lowndes was strangley given a bad sportmanship flag in one of the races.

And the way Craig conducts himself over a race weekend should be commended, it seems the long lines for autographs reflects his No.1 status as most liked driver.

Like Geoff said, Tander at PI last year means i have lost all respect for the guy, and im told that on TV you could hear him winge and carry on when Lowndes got past him in the last race :P Oh well, fingers crossed in 2008 we get a champion that i dont want to egg :P

I'll agree with Troy and GTRgoeff in saying that the 888 guys are very nice people, as i have talked to a couple of the guys met through work. And Lowndes has always been one of my fav drivers although im still yet to meet him...until friday that is, i've got V8 Supercars hot laps session with 888 :laughing-smiley-014: Cant wait, half a day off AND go racing around in a 635hp Supercar

Whilst I agree with you sentiments according to the current issue of Auto Fiction 888 arced up big time about the flag waved at Lowndes on Saturday. As in tried to get the IPO chucked out of a job.

Anyway, why has Ross Stone not called yet?

Well i have not read what Auto Action have printed but i was in their pit all weekend...and saw or heard no such thing?!?!?!

Having spent a fair amount of my weekend in with Campbell Little and half the 888 crew at sandown i totally agree with you Troy, There are some absolute top blokes in there. And they showed they can engineer anything with Alan Simonsen and Tim Leahey winning the 3.5Hr race by 3 laps!!

Some big upsets in the V8's for next year with sponsors changing teams at the last minute, Drivers contracted to the sponsorship changing team (and manufacturers in some circumstances)

PCR will be starting the year with Lowndes car from this year, at this stage it will be another rookie for the team. I can't figure out why, but Paul pays the bills so he can put in who he likes.

Troy you will be happy to know it looks like MRs Tander will be leaving Australian Motorsport to compete in the Asian F3 series next year. She had a successful test last week in Sepang.

Ford has also stopped supplying BF chassis as they are starting the engineering of the Orion chassis and are hoping to have them out by the middle of next year.

Heard a few more thing that i can't say other wise i'll be in deeeeep shit

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
