Well - actually - I have been to AUS well over 20 times and have another business in SYD - I have been a racing fan for many years and I love AUS - Port Douglas used to be my favorite haunt until investors set it - and no I do not know what you are refering to - but my website is dedicated to the upcoming stars over here - and Marcos is one hell of a great guy. You should all be proud!

Check up on you're mate now and then - he's giving it a great go

'Ambrose'

And yes we like him too... well now we do, when he was fighting with Murph up on the mountain he was being an arse... but i dont expect you'll know what im talking about, so carry on

Being an arse must = taking issue with Murph for being his typical F-wit self. :)

If your ingterested in a crew position with NASCAR = go to www.thehotlap.com and look at forum NEW BUSCH TEAM

Might be an opportunity for any of you in that position

To be honest I've been following Marcos Ambrose this season in NASCAR and surprisingly it has got me interested in NASCAR. Ambrose is currently 10th in the Busch series standings and 2nd rookie. He's had a couple of bad rounds the last few weeks but this week they race on the F1 circuit in Montreal and next week is Watkins Glen... a couple of road courses should be good for him.

Seriously as a fan of all motorsports I never thought I could ever like NASCAR... dinosaur cars (still with carbies), circle racing, etc. But this year (I have Foxtel) I've found it 10 times more interesting than V8supercars or F1. Still can't watch a whole circle race start to finish but they pass each other so many times on a lap... and they race week in week out. In F1 they qualify in position then spread out over the race with the occasional pass in the pits (last weeks race excluded).

Go Ambrose.

all i will say ... that following him in the busch series is like watching another bloke .... He shows respect in NASCAR while in our SUPA V8 series he acted constantly like a whining kid.

wonder if the yanks know about his little extra wire hanging out the motec m800 >_<

Good luck to him

LOL you ran out of people to quote, so you quoted yourself

awesome

I guess that was prety lame - LOL

Having good fun anyway. I'm very interested in the V8 Supercar series over there - can anyone point me to a good website so I can follow it around and check things out. Least I can do for everyone following Ambros over here and www.thehotlap.com

I will be down under sometime in March or late February and would love to go to a race - in fact I will make it a point.

Cheers

Yeah I was never a fan of oval racing until last year when we got to race on the dome at Calder Park as part of the Calder Rally Masters. Going flat out around there was intense and that was 1 car out at at time. So doing it with other cars 5cm's away all around you must take some serious big ones.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.

      I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense

      yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
