Very likely Brenken, I'll have to hunt thru the pics tomorrow at work, coz I left my CF card there :)

Here is a link to what should be the video of the crash; however its been cut in typical channel 9 news style, the footage was taken by Prime TV Orange, I saw it on the local news last night... from what I could tell he dropped a rear passengers side wheel off the track, which flicked him sideways & started to turn over when he hit the grass, and then slammed into the kitty littler which produced the roll that ripped the car apart.

I also did a dodgy record of the laptop screen with the digicam, so I'll upload it & throw it in.

not very well if you saw him on today tonight.

2 massive black eyes (to a point where he was blind from the swelling for 3 hours)

Shit eh, someone said he looked pretty crook after it...

AND he had to put up with TT... :) I recon if I flipped any car at 250kph and came out with a headache and 2 black eyes I'd be happy.

wow those times are amazing.

we raced bob pearson's big $$ evo it our little old GTR back in october and beat him

and here he is topping the timesheets at bathurst.

man I wish they would let cars older than 5 years old into this event (like 17 years old would be nice). reckon we would finish top 3 if we made it to the end.

I wish i had recorded it it was one of the best races i have seen in ages, well done to ch 7 for the great coverage.

I couldn't believe how these guys were driving for a 12 hour race. Some of the overtaking moves were absolutely great.

It was nice of ch7 to broadcast this however I find it annoying to watch. When they compress 12hrs into 3hrs it's like watching a movie in fast forward.

I'd rather they show the first hour and the last 2hrs of racing so that you can actually follow it properly without constantly skipping parts.

i didn't mind it, i would have preferred to know the remaining time through the telecast as it made it harder to understand strategies ect as you weren't sure if there was 1 or 5 hours left of the race. After all unlike the V8's there was plenty of action all race

The constant stops for the info-mercials was a waste of time. I was watching for the racing not to buy dog ice cream

and the radio chat was great, I don't think Mr Morris was to happy with the HSV.

Anyone else think the guy with the bear was driving a bit dangerously? as we saw on the inboard he was stuffing about with the bear and ran off the road, he was lucky there weren't any other cars around him

one of the integra's can't remember the driver, going down the straights he was picking it up and waving it about, he did it down conrod and the looked over and picked it up again coming into murrays and ran off the road. Personally i don't think its the safest thing to wave and play with stuffed animals whilst traveling at high speed around other cars

Benm, in the v8's they aren't allowed to swear, all team chat is monitored and there have been quite a few penalties given out to drivers and teams for using course language. This is all done due to the team frequencies being published on the V8SC web site so there could be little kiddies listening (and the live cuts to the chat)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
