how good is the FIA GT1 lately? so much passing I don't know what to do with myself. watched race 1 at interlagos the other day. was interesting after recently watching F1 race there.... The GT1 boys have no trouble sliding past each other. and the noises. my god the noises. apart from that all the cars look fantastic.

some people might tell you its down to the operational differences between the GT-R and Subi/Mitsu awd systems, but we all know it's actually because Godzilla is a real mans 4 wheeler :D

thanks guys. I've got lots of incar from my car in that race on youtube (it was much wetter than the TV cameras showed), but I really wanted people to know that you can watch Australian motorsport on TV that is not just taxis.

Hopefully they got the viewing numbers they need to, to go ahead with the plans to televise the whole champs next year as part of a 20 series show on Speed.

Lots of us complain about how boring supertaxis are....so support something different with your eyeballs :D

I find the NSW state rounds more fun to watch than V8 stupid cars. Most of the classes relate and they actually do some overtaking. When I have some time between Duncan's sessions you will find me checking out the other classes. I particular like the under 2L improved prodies,,,.

Cheers

Neil.

duncan and everyone else. if you want this to happen you need to contact foxtel and/or speed channel (it's not a foxtel owned channel) and let them know you LOVE the new channel speed and you LOVE coverage of local racing championships. otherwise it will just fade away. they now have a one in one out policy so for every new channel that gets added an old one gets cut. I can't remember which they cut for speed (may have been the "how to" channel). They need this feedback to know they are on the right track. ratings are so easily skewed since so few people participate in TV ratings. in reality they have NFI what people are watching so we have to let them know. :)

I have already done so. Hell even tell them you are a member of a car club with branches in most states of Australia and that the new Speed channel and is a hot topic of discussion with lots of new viewers watching it. :) I know I already have.

All that aside, great race dunc. the start was awesome! shame the 'moment' at T3 cost you 2 places but up till then you had those guys covered despite a clear power difference between the cars. I guess the wet evens that up a bit but it's still a tough track to keep fast cars behind you. :) well done mate. it must be nice to hear "Duncan Handley" mentioned on TV with nice things being said.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
