Skaife used to always be the quickest of his driver pairing, now he's got Tander that can punch out the quickest laptimes whilst he just keeps it on the track.

I actually thought that Skaifes slow pitstop (when he had trouble doing up his belts) was going to lose him the race but it seems as though Tander got onto the wet tyres quick enough to make up some positions.

So who's going to win Bathurst,,,I'm up for a FPR or a DJR main team doing the deed.

As much as I love Skaifey I dislike Tander.

888 suck only because of dane and so does Gay Ricky.

The dark horse could well be the stupid-cheap team or the 2nd FPR team. Canto and Youdlen may well factor in the arvo.

Go Frosty.

Neil.

I'm kinda conflicted. I've always been a Skaify fan but really like the way Lowndes has been going as well. Either one of those two would be great.

Actually looking forward to it cause i haven't watched a race in years.

Was revving myself up last night with a few hours of the 91 and 92 race. Damn those GTR's sounded great.

Frosty has a cute Mrs so if he is doing well she gets plenty of air time, which makes for good viewing :D

Personally i really want to see Tod Kelly and Perkins Engineering/Jack Daniels Racing get a result. Larry can always get a competitve car to the mountain and Tod has been on the fringe of the Top 10 and in the Top 10 at races. Be good to see Shane Price get a result too but i really hope its Pretty that gets the co-driver seat with Kelly...

And cant help myself. I know its not going to happen but i would love to see Skaife and Steto suit up for awin on the hill. Fark Ford for dumping the fella, and curse DJR for treating him the way they did....Jr should have gotten the ass before Seton :blink:

The only thing I hate about the Bathurst weekend is the constant repeats of segments on the tv coverage. I don't want to switch the tv on early sunday morning to watch 2hrs repeats of the previous days stuff..... c'mon Crompto

wow is this still on?

Neil do you want that bitburger before the weekend? I might grab the other one, can't think of a better way to watch the race

Yes it is still on smartarse,,,I get your point though,,,Why Cockyhead never spents money on adverts I'll never know.

So you buying the beer,,,I never say no to a nice drop of german beer,,,,I'll bring the glasses. You know once we open it we have to drink all of it!!!.

Roy,,,Renee is a cutey I have to agree. She has no need for airbag protection,,,oh shit did I type that,,,I'm a grubby male pig.

I love that old line "behind every great man theres a great women",,, well Frosty wouldn't have got that drive without her and thats the truth.

Benm,,,I do,,,sorry mate by I have a race car to get ready for the weekend after at oran park (day/nighter)and just won't have time to see any Saturdays stuff.

DJR81,,,you don't think Junior/Will have a chance,,,I do.

Go Frosty

Neil.

DJR81,,,you don't think Junior/Will have a chance,,,I do.

Maybe - they are short odds for a podium. I just don't think they will have that last little bit of speed near the end. Here is hoping Junior doesn't stick it in the wall this year (again). Would be a popular result if they did manage it, however. It would certainly make me smile.

Garf fastest this morning with a 2.06.99. Murph is up there too, so good on him. #18 P5 & Wargbanna is doing a bang up job.

skaife for the win. I'm with you Troy. stick seto in there too. if he bagged a win with skaife that would surely see the value of my seton seat sky rocket and with the state of the AUD I could use a few quid!

and there may not be that many tander lovers here but I don't mind the bloke. and he sure can drive. watching him drive a civic in a round of IP under 2 litre (with a competetive field) at oran grand prix circuit a year or two back was an eye opener. he went from dead last (about 20th or so) to first in about 8 laps. then did it again the next race. so he's certainly not in V8s for his looks. and he mentioned that it was the first time he'd raced a FWD car. :banana: very impressive.

V8 Supercar driver Paul Weel is expected to be cleared of any serious injury following a heavy accident during practice at the Bathurst 1000.

V8 Supercar driver Paul Weel is expected to be cleared of any serious injury following a heavy accident during practice at the Bathurst 1000 Friday.

Weel, 29, had to be extracted from his PWR Holden after a collision with Team Kiwi Racing driver Chris Pither.

Pither walked away, while Weel is experiencing some lower back pain and has been airlifted to Nepean Hospital as a precaution.

Pither and Weel will take no further part in the weekend though, with both cars suffering extreme damage.

The accident occurred near the McPhillamy Park area of the circuit, when Weel made contact with a safety barrier and slid sideways onto the track and Pither slammed into the driver's side door.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
