I have heard that holden is harassing the ARC to get its 4wd ute into the ute class. So holden want to run against ford, but want special rules to allow them to run a 4x4 against fords RWD car.

Holden is really farking up australian motorsport. Good thing NZ is so close, I might have to start going over there to get my Motorsport Dosage.

Anyone want to fly me to Race to the sky in april?

Would love to see how those holdens hold up in the JGTC500 or JGTC300... I imagine that a smoking would occur!

I was speaking with Ross Palmer at McPhillamy on Saturday night for over an hour. He said there is "good factory interest" from GT300 teams. GT500 cars are out of the rules, I think.

The Monaro's were built for Bathurst: pure and simple. The lambo won Nations Cup title, and despite the Monaro being within the rules, it wasn't good enough to win the championship. Only one track...

Also stay tuned for 2-4 M3 GTRs running in the 2004 Nations Cup championship, I thought the privateer team did extremely well considering the logistics involved, before Brock shunted Maher into the wall. Funnily, prior to the race Garry Rogers tried to get the M3 GTR banned!

Bok bok bok bokkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk....

I have doubts about a JGTC GT300 car holding up to the Monaro round bathurst. They're great cars but 350 odd hp compteing with the 5 or 600 the Monaro's had (cbf converting 440 odd kw to hp properly atm) is a BIG ask around Bathurst.

p.s. anyone want to do the conversion?? I forget the kw to hp figure.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
