now they just need to start racing it here

someone please explain why there are no horses in the field...?

ok so far i have found out that there was an Australian Team entered in the 24HR race with their 430C, However due to continual mechanical drama's the car was pulled out back in Feb. The cars are still running with experimental cooling, braking and tyre packages for now until they can get a good consistent reliable car. Look out for them next year as they are eager to get over there. The team was also entered in the Dayton 24hr and pulled the pin on that as well.

How ever knowing Johns driving technique i seriously doubt the car would last a lap around there.

Will talk to my mates and find out why there was a lack of Ferraris from teh European teams. may have something to do with Le Mans this weekend. The 430GT2 well and truly capable of beating the 997RSR as shown in all FIA / ALMS races this year.

    • If your head gasket lifted, you should have seen a coolant pressure spike. There's no need for a copper gasket/fire rings at 30psi. An MLS with perfectly clean/flat mating surfaces should suffice. 
    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
