Larry is a champion ! - Who else would have admitted to losing concentration ?

[HSV guy] hmm, that's not what they told me when I bought my HSV jacket, beach towel, undies, toothbrush and bedspread....:confused:[/HSV guy]

How lucky was winterbottom, white has some sort of flat spot problem so has to brake way too early for the chase, made mistakes 2 laps in a row and Winterbottom and Luff got past.

The bloke should buy a lotto ticket.

It doesn't sound like a big deal compared to the full 1000 race, but 1 reckon an hour in these cars around Bathurst would be bloody hard work - god knows an hr round Oran was hard work, and 2hrs around wakefield almost killed me :)

isn;t it amazing - not just 1 sec faster than EVERY other car, but think how hard it would be to do the fastest lap ever in 1 single lap - no practice runs to get your head straight first, just go out and BAM.

Good betting there benm!

How good was that lap with Murphy.

If either Seton/Lowndes , Skaife/Kelly, Murphy/Kelly , Richards/Longhurst get up then i'll be happy. As long as Ambrose/Ingall crash out hopefully with Russell "Tool" Ingall behind the wheel then ill be twice as happy

If only Dumbrell wasnt partnering Mezera, i have a wounded puppy syndrome thing going with good ol' Thomas.

I know there are rules - but I reckon Skaife was robbed ! That wasn't dangerous !

Hats off to Murphy though !

Perkins did good after smashing the car - but I reckon it will be his last Bathurst.

Yeah - and Jimmy - not so much of a Gentleman !

A great race !

Now for Suzuka ! Yeah Baby !

I can't believe Skaife wasn't black flagged the very lap it became apparent, indeed even the very move that caused it was sus. You can't just drive round with panels hanging off....

Also, he shouldn't have gone for that move on Bowe anyway, it was plain dirty, but I expect that of Skaife. S.Richo's hit on JB was pretty dirty too, Not to mention Larry's BULLSHIT comments about it, well done Brad Jones to not erupt when Larry spewed such crap.

Interesting to see what happens after scruiteneering, It seems strange to me that Murphy suddenly picked up so much pace....His team were heard to say on the radio "pick up as many stones and crap as you can to bump the weight up..."

An interesting race, tis for sure. I was really disappointed Bowe/Jones didn't get on the podium, and surprised that Murph's qualifiying for held out.

The thing with trying to pick up weight is common, so i doubt you will find anything comes of that.

Hat off to Murphy, was the deserving winner, and hat off the old LP, may have not been on the pace of Steve Richards but he still raced hard and fair and made the other guys work for it.

Look at the fact that Kmart racing statred racing a new car at Oran park with absolutely no testing, and was stillcompetitive at Oran that event.

Then Sandown and Bathrust with only two test days, then i have no prob accepting where their speed came from once they got a chance to collect data prior to an events qualifying

It will be interesting to see if Dumbrell gets another go next year, i would love to see Mezera get back with a reguar drive... and i couldnt help but think about where was Wayne Gardner when looking at some teamates struggle with the pace of the race.

Looking forward to the next few rounds. Hoping SBR trips over!

Nothing Jimmy did was to bad, all clean moves as was the one when Skaife got hit by bowe, he wasnt trying to pass Bowe he was getting by the other ozemail car. But there was lots of other deparate moves going on

Pitty the official ruiened the racing yet again, if skaifs door was dangerous why did they not black flag him streight away, if they did and he pitted he would have still been in third at the restat and could have pushed for the win, and would have won.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
