Go Frosty

Cheers

Neil.

I'll be keeping a eye on the GT cars,,,. Stuffed if I know why they can't have a longer race,,,I know,,,piss the utes off and let the GT's have a 2 hour enduro.

I noticed Tony Alford ran around on Thursday in the 35 in P1 but nothing after that. Wonder why?.

Cheers

Neil.

I agree Neil, The utes shit me, give proper race cars a run, they need to bring back the 3 hour event they had when the like of Bowe and Stokel were running around in Ferrari and Lambos. That was fun to watch.

Very quick lap,,,but it was done in practice,,,so I don't think it counts.

agreed....but since murphy's lap was in qualifying not racing it doesn't count as a lap record either.

nothing can ever take away from murphy's lap, it was done years of development ago and stood for ages. amazing.

Well actually Murphs time was done in the top 10 shoot out,,,from memory he beat John Bowe much to the dis-like of the Ford fans (Mel and I were there) and Qual times do stand.

It's very disappointing that the GT cars which are real endurance cars only get to play on Saturday with 2 x 30 minute races.

Cheers

Neil.

GT are lucky to get 2x 30min races with cockrane handing out the session times. there are no holdens nor fords in that field so they are lucky to be there at all.

Tony's perfect Bathurst event:

Supertaxi 1000

konica supertaxi race

muscle car support race (group A and C cars stay home, minis not welcome in case they win)

saloon car support race

aussie race cars (aurion not welcome)

commodore cup if a 5th category is required.

what a pity for him that Fraud and Holdem aren't willing to put up millions a year for his circus any more.

I hate to see what the "car o the future" looks and performs like.

Oh,,,won't that be great,,,Nascar style cars running around on shit narrow street tracks. Shit I can't wait.

Take most of the aero out of them and make these robot drivers,,,DRIVE....

Cheers and thanks Cockren and Skaifie.

Neil.

Too right.

Can't take anything away from these cars though, as much as I hate the formula. My word they're fast considering what they are.... heavy, under tyred, shit aero etc....

11" slicks (280/680R17) doesn't count as undertyred in my book! They've been bleating about it long enough to convince people its small though... :P

they are faster than they should be on paper though. I guess that's what ~20 years of chassis and shock development money buys you... oh, and the best drivers in the country doesn't hurt either

sh$t, your completely right, i was under the impression the tyres were a lot narrower than that.

they still weigh around the 1200kg is that correct?

murphy's lap was also done when the engines had a much shorter shelf life so they could beef them right up and it didn't matter if they only lasted one race. the current cars have been tuned down to make the engine last more than one race, like F1. if you look at a majority of the lap records in F1 you will see that they were set back in 2004 and 2005 (about 8 of the records are).

i thought they weigh 1450kg

edit: my bad, 1355kg

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
