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.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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
