was anyone else contemplating suicide from the telecast....

god the team they have drives me insane i want to watch motorsport not larko, crompton, skaife have personal jokes. That idiot from sunrise talking about god knows what about the taxis, even throughout the support races..

Go race and strategy by brighty to make up the lap and get close to the top 10

Murph's argy-bargy passing move was more than a bit, er, marginal. V8 stockcars must be employing F1 race stewards...

Thought there were a few marginal passes.. Tander on Kelly was a bit rough

I reckon the category is the problem not the telecast. the racing is just rubbish and spreading it over 8 hours makes it worse.

But hey, its the biggest race of the year in aus....and I don't mind spending all day in front of the tv drinking beer :D all and the rookies each year guarantee some crashes.

You mean the shit that Clowndes has been getting away with for years. Good to see the shoe on the other foot for a change. :D

the advertising to content ratio was woeful as usual- "here's 90 seconds of pacecar, now for 5 minutes of the same fkn ads you're already sick of seeing"...

i thought the shot of the back of the front brake rotor was a pretty interesting camera angle though. nice to watch the sparks fly at the end of conrod

didn't watch enough of the broadcast to catch all of the no doubt numerous dodgy moments, but Murph def should have got a drive through for that effort, really

Days Of Thunder spec- "racin' is rubbin', son..." lol

it's one thing to have an advantage into the braking zone, it's another to come steaming in too shallow and too hot and just jam your nose into the other dudes rear quarter

not that i really care for the team affected (or any of 'em really), but it's the principle of the matter, y'see...

lol good race at the start and end, coverage was shithouse due to not being in high def here and the unending effing ads!!! Pace car came out too often as well, talk about making it BORING when its restart after restart! Felt bad for tricky ricky Kelly, was hoping the boys were gonna hold off til the end, apart from that bloody pace car making em all bunch up again!

Clowndes deserved a punch in the face from the other driver for that pit lane thing, couldn't believe he didnt get penalised for some of his other shenanigans either.

True, the officials wrecked the start of the race when they put the safety car out for the first corner incident. FFS, they had two minutes to get the spun car out of the way! Totally took away from the usual first few laps of argie bargie.

and yes, the damned ads, bloody repetative and way too long! Ridiculous.

      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.
