Well the roughie that just may get up this year is.....djr. They have signed some more good sponsors (some razor blade mob & 3 mobile), got a couple of 888 chassis on order, some rough head called Courtney to drive for them so they should be set for a good year.

As a side interest it will be interesting to see how the two Davo's go. One up against the yocal hero Tander at HRT & the other against Jason Bright.

Of the Holden teams, maybe HRT will return to form but in all honesty it is hard to see any others making an big impact. The Kelly outfit will be too new

Sprint Gas will doubtless blow hot & cold again

The Jones brothers may step up with Richards on board (Providing they can find the wherewithall to spend the dollars necessary to run Walkinshaws wagons)

Maybe Ingalls Indian summer will continue.

Of the Ford teams, well FPVs form is harder to pick than a broken nose.

888 will doubtless be strong.

DJR are on the up.

Stone brothers may well improve with Bright there to help set the things up.

Be interesting to see how Paul Cruickshanks team get on also.

The serious money is on Tony Cohrant continuing to carry on as his name suggests.

Go Rick Kelly; is the new Kelly team confirmed; one of the articles at www.v8supercars.com.au about the new 'fast' tyres said that HSVDT's driver Rick Kelly had tested the tyres; maybe that was last year..?

Brighty is getting desperate.

FPR are a force,,,but they just keep loosing the plot.

Frosty can win,,,but he and the team keep dropping the ball at the wrong end of the year.

Mark needs to have a really good long talk to his old man sooner than later.

Neil.

They have closed.

I did notice that you can buy both of there cars with engines as last raced for 300k, or you can buy 2 ford rally cars for 300k, GB anyone :D

Qualifying has just started, you can watch it free on the v8supercar website

Natsoft shows Whincup in P1 after Friday practice.

Other noteable performances are:

Jason Richards in the BOC Commodore in P3 & both djr cars in the top ten.

Rick Kelly will doubtless be blubbing somewhere.

Oh & thank fk the alcopops senate amendments got chucked out. Otherwise no more Jim Beam sponsorship for djr & no Jack daniels for the Kelly clan. Not to mention the XXXX girlies.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
